Windies Win

The West Indies completed a come-from –behind victory over England by five wickets in the final session of the third day of the third and final Test at Kensington Oval today.

The series ends at 1-1.

Set 192 to win the West Indies were guided to their target by a fifth wicket partnership of 108 between left-hander Darren Bravo, who was out for 82 with four runs required, and Jermaine Blackwood.

Blackwood, missed on a stumping by wicket-keeper Jos Buttler off spinner Joe Root when he was 4, followed his first-innings top score of 85 with an unbeaten 47. He was named Man-of the match.

Bravo and Blackwood came together at 80-4 after Shivnarine Chanderpaul's was dismissed for zero in the second over after tea.

Starting the day at 39-5 in their second innings, England added 84 for their last five wickets. Buttler hit an unbeaten 35, sharing successive stands of 23 with Gary Ballance and 33 with Stokes.

Fast bowler Jason Holder finished with figures of 3-15; Jerome Taylor took 3-33 and left-arm spinner Veeraswammy Permaul 3-45.
