England captain Ben Stokes scored the third-equal fastest fifty in a Test match with a blistering 24-ball assault to seal a 10-wicket win over the West Indies at Edgbaston on Sunday.
The all-rounder, opening in place of the injured Zak Crawley, struck nine fours and a six in a whirlwind half-century as England chased down a victory target of 82 in a mere 7.2 overs to complete a 3-0 series whitewash.
