Fast bowler James Anderson inspired England to a nine-wicket win over West Indies on the final day of the second Test being played here.

According to a report filed by the BBC, Anderson took three wickets, two catches and ran out Jason Holder with a direct hit as the home side slipped from an overnight 202-2 to 307 all out.

England then achieved the second innings target of 143 for a win in a canter, losing the wicket of Jonathan Trott for a duck. Gary Balance with an unbeaten 81 and skipper Alastair Cook with an unbeaten 59 saw the visitors to the winner's podium.

 

The victory in Grenada was England's first Test win overseas since 2012. It now has a 1-0 lead in the three-match series.
