We'll have a full package from today, as well as a series-review, at the site (RSS) in the coming minutes, hours and days so do keep an eye on the series page. Don't forget to read Andrew Miller's bulletin, too. I've been Will Luke, and along with Andrew we hope you've enjoyed our commentary for this gripping series. Well, it was gripping at times, wasn't it? We'll be back for the one-dayers and hope you'll join us then.

Of course, there will be odd dozen or thousand people who will complain England batted for too long but there's no point looking back. What's done is done, and West Indies have every reason to celebrate a rare and deserved series-win.

What a final day that has been. It's been thrilling, enthralling and wonderful to watch. Gayle comes out on to the pitch and the two teams all shake hands with each other as England applaud the crowd. It's the first time they've won a series in five years - and they're showing a new-found resilience to their cricket which has been completely lacking over the past decade. These are great scenes; Gayle is at the heart of the celebrations, pumping everyone's hands and generally mucking around with complete abandon

Panesar to Edwards, no run, nudged to leg and that's it! West Indies win the series! They know they can't lose and they're partying on the balcony - and England reluctantly shake hands, and it's the end of the match

Here we go. Two balls to survive

George Headley, Everton Weekes, Garry Sobers, IVA Richards, BC Lara, FH Edwards...

Panesar to Edwards, no run, on the back foot, shuffling across and he defends! Well played

This is absurdly tense

65.2

Panesar to Edwards, no run, tossed up and somehow that misses the off stump! And his bat. Did he hit it? I don't think so but either way Prior couldn't take it. No edge though

Panesar to Edwards, no run, tosses it up on off stump and it turns, bounces and he misses!

Swann or Monty? It's Monty. Last over. The field is as absurd as you can imagine - they're all around the bat

END OF OVER:
65 | 1 Run | WI: 114/8

  • Denesh Ramdin17 (87b)
  • Fidel Edwards1 (3b)
  • James Anderson16-7-24-3

Anderson looks a finished man. That's the end of his series, and he's down on his haunches. He's bowled superbly all Test

Anderson to Ramdin, no run, passes the outside edge! Drags him forward and he gropes unconvincingly. Sheesh, that wasn't too far away at all

Ramdin looks cool, calm, collected - not a bead of sweat on him. He's not smiling, he's not grimacing - a placid, nerveless expression really

Anderson to Ramdin, no run, ooh a hint of movement away from the right hander but he shuffles across to defend. And he defends solidly

Anderson to Ramdin, no run, blocked off the back foot

Ramdin on strike now. This is excellent play by West Indies - just what the doctor ordered. I don't know which doctor. I don't know what I'm saying now

Anderson to Edwards, 1 run, well played! Not a good ball, outside off and punched out to cover for a hastily run single

I think I'm turning into Bill Lawry. This is unbearable. Anderson to Edwards

Anderson to Edwards, no run, leaves this one alone outside off. Too wide from Anderson - and he knows it

Fidel! Poor old Castro's been in the dressing room for ages and biting what little fingernails he has left. Short-leg. Another one, slightly deeper. A short midwicket. Expect reverse-swinging induckers, then

Well that changes things. That really does

Anderson to Powell, OUT, BOWLED HIM! The inswinger from Anderson which ducks back late on Powell and beats him for pace, shattering his stumps. Absolute corking delivery

DBL Powell b Anderson 0 (24m 18b 0x4 0x6) SR: 0.00

West Indies are cheering each and every ball here. It's been five years since they last won a series

Anderson to Powell, no run, short of a length, rising onto him but he rocks back and plays it pretty well. Not pretty, but pretty well

Anderson to Powell, no run, that's beautifully bowled but expertly played, squeezing it out to the leg side

Anderson to Powell, no run, squared up! Powell didn't play that inswinger too well

England are running out of time here. Anderson's coming back on at the other end. Desperate times. The light is still good enough, but fading fast, as is this series. West Indies need to survive four overs

  • Take nothing for granted

    Take nothing for granted. That was the mantra being chanted by increasingly anxious West Indians during the lunch interval at the Queen's Park Oval on Tuesday

  • The old go-slow

    Andrew McGlashan presents the plays from the fifth day in Trinidad

  • Panesar and Amjad fined for excessive appealing

    England spinner Monty Panesar has been fined 25% of his match fee for breaching the ICC Code of Conduct during the fifth Test against West Indies in Port of Spain

  • West Indies survive in thrilling finale

    West Indies regained the Wisden Trophy for the first time since 2000 in a thrilling finale to the series in Trinidad. Left with 66 overs in which to bat in their second innings after England's lunchtime declaration, West Indies shipped wickets at regular

  • Strauss finds pride amid failure

    It would have been one of their most extraordinary Test victories and for much of the final afternoon in Trinidad England looked as though they could pull it off
