Stokes hits 24-ball 50 as England beat WI by 10 wickets in series sweep

Quick Summary:

Ben Stokes smashed the fastest test 50 by an Englishman and Mark Wood took 5-40 with blistering pace as England beat West Indies by 10 wickets on the third day of the third test to sweep the series 3-0.

Regular opener Zak Crawley fractured his little finger in the field, giving Stokes the opportunity to promote himself to opener and entertain the Edgbaston crowd.

The England captain needed only 24 deliveries Sunday to reach his half-century.
