Off-spinner Shoaib Bashir snared five wickets as England bowled the West Indies out for 143 to secure a 241-run victory on the fourth day of the second Test at Trent Bridge and also win the series with an unassailable 2-0 lead.
The Windies, chasing 385 for victory, were off to a solid start thanks to an opening partnership of 61 between captain Kraigg Brathwaite and Mikyle Louis. The dismissal of Louis by Chris Woakes, however, triggered a collapse as the visitors lost five wickets in 35 balls.
After Louis was caught by wicketkeeper Jamie Smith for 17, Kirk McKenzie edged behind off Bashir for one. Brathwaite then fell for 47 when he feathered a catch to Smith off Woakes.
First-innings centurion Kavem Hodge was trapped lbw by Bashir thereafter for a duck, while Alick Athanaze edged the off-spinner to Joe Root at slip for one to leave the Windies reeling at 82/5. Kevin Sinclair did not last long, skying a catch off his wrist to Zak Crawley at the slip cordon off Mark Wood, and Gus Atkinson trapped Joshua Da Silva lbw for 14.
Atkinson bowled Alzarri Joseph for a duck before Bashir cleaned Jason Holder up with a beauty and then knocked Shamar Joseph over to finish with figures of 5/41.
Earlier on Sunday, Root compiled a stylish century to lead England to 425 in their second innings, which had left the Windies with a big victory target of 385. Root scored 122 to bring up his 32nd Test hundred after Harry Brook plundered a rapid 109 to regain the momentum for the hosts.
Resuming the afternoon session on 348/6, Root reached three figures with a crisp drive to the cover boundary off Alzarri. Woakes fell for 12 and Root's innings ended when he drove Holder straight to McKenzie at cover, having passed West Indian Shivnarine Chanderpaul to climb to eighth on the all-time list of leading run-scorers in Test cricket.
Wood was bowled by Jayden Seales for nought before the Windies quick also cleaned up Bashir, leaving Atkinson unbeaten on 21.
Brook, who faced only 132 deliveries, struck 13 fours in his fifth Test century and first on home soil, sharing a fourth-wicket partnership of 189 with Root which had put England back in command.
