Summary
Simon Mann is alongside Steven Finn, Phil Tufnell & Carlos Brathwaite on the Edgbaston pitch for reaction to Mark Wood taking 5 wickets and England completing the series clean sweep as captain Ben Stokes hits England’s fastest ever test half century.
Hear from player of the match Mark Wood who was disappointed with his individual lack of results despite good performances across the series. Ben Stokes is pleased with England’s newcomers Gus Atkinson and Jamie Smith, with Atkinson saying it’s “the stuff of dreams” taking 22 wickets and being awarded player of the series. England head coach Brendon McCullum calls England’s perceived ‘Bazball’ batting style change as “natural progression” and West Indies captain Kraigg Brathwaite rues the missed chances his side had to limit England’s batting order.
Andy Zaltzman breaks down the series with stats, and hear the lighter moments of the series from the TMS commentary box.
