Stuart Broad became just the seventh player in history to take 500 Test wickets as England crushed the West Indies by 269 runs on the final day of the third Test in Manchester.
In addition to Broad’s remarkable feat, fellow fast bowler Chris Woakes took a five-wicket haul to lead England to a 2-1 series win.
Starting off the day on 10/2 after the entire fourth day was washed out, the West Indies added 35 runs to their overnight score before Brathwaite became Broad’s 500th victim in Test cricket when he was trapped lbw for 19.

Woakes was the pick of the bowlers with five wickets, while Broad claimed four.
