So, that's the end of a one-sided series, with England wrapping up proceedings emphatically on the final day at Chester-le-Street. Panesar's sixth five-wicket haul set up the win for England, who eased to their target, with seven wickets to spare. Chanderpaul was, of course, named West Indies' Man of the Series, and he is a very deserved Man of the Match, too. England's Man of the Series is Panesar - 23 wickets at 18 apiece, this series. Thanks for joining us. Until next time - which will be the Twenty20s in a week's time - it's goodbye.

Gayle to Collingwood, FOUR, finally cuts away through point and that wins the match, denying Vaughan the half-century, but judging by his broad beam, Vaughan will take the 3-0 series win and not worry too much. They walk off to a standing ovation, Vaughan holding his bat aloft. Applause, too, for Guyana's Shiv Chanderpaul
Hilarity. Gayle tries to Mankad Vaughan - I thought that had been outlawed? You've got to love a bit of amusement such as that. Vaughan gives him a half-amused, half-withering (and that's a tricky look to pull off) stare

Samuels to Collingwood, 1 run, oh, but he steals the strike with a cheeky single - there may be polite words from his captain, later
