| Marlon Samuels hit Greame Swann for 16 in an over. |
The remaining West
Indies batsmen put up some resistance, but both James Anderson and
Tim Bresnan finished with four wickets to bowl WI out for 165,
setting England 108 to win. Marlon Samuels finished with a brave 76*,
including hitting Graeme Swann for 16 in an over. He lost out on “Man
of the Match” to Bresnan, for which he should feel slightly hard
done by, but his reputation has been advanced infinitely by his
performances on this tour. England supporters might have had a few
nerves after England's recent history with seemingly straightforward
chases, but Strauss, Cook and Trott put them to bed as England
strolled home by nine wickets just after tea. With the Wisden Trophy
already in the bag, the selectors may be looking to give the fringe
bowlers more of a chance in the final Test.
