Kraigg Brathwaite: 6.5/10

John Campbell: 4/10

John Campbell started well in the first innings but got dismissed for 28. He was retired hurt in the second innings but came on at the end to finish the game.

Shai Hope: 3/10

A lot was expected from Shai Hope ahead of this match, but he didn't deliver. He could make just 16 and 9 runs in the first and second innings, respectively.

Shamarh Brooks: 4.5/10

Roston Chase: 7/10

Roston Chase played a crucial role in West Indies' win. He played a solid knock of 47 in the first innings and followed it up with a 37-run knock in the second. He wasn't deployed as a bowler in the first innings but picked up two wickets in the second.

Jermaine Blackwood: 8/10

Jermaine Blackwood could make just 12 runs in the first innings, but he played a match-winning knock of 95 in the second innings. He built a 73-run stand with Roston Chase and later built a partnership with Shane Dowrich to lead his side to victory.

Shane Dowrich: 7/10

Shane Dowrich made an important 60 in the first innings and helped the Windies cross the 300-run mark, something which offered them a psychological advantage. He also put on a 68-run stand with Blackwood to get the West Indies closer to the target.

Jason Holder: 8/10

West Indies' captain Jason Holder had a great game as he picked up six wickets for forty-two runs in the first innings, his career's best bowling figures. He couldn't repeat the same in the second innings as he could pick up just a single wicket, but he still bowled economically.

Alzarri Joseph: 5/10

Alzarri Joseph had a poor start to the game and went wicketless in the first innings, conceding runs at an economy of 4.10. He did much better in the second innings picking up the crucial wickets of Zak Crawley and Jos Buttler. He also played a useful 18-run cameo in the first innings.

Shannon Gabriel: 8.5/10

Shannon Gabriel won the Man-of-the-Match award after he picked up nine wickets in the match. He uprooted the England top-order in the first innings picking up four wickets, though he conceded runs at an expensive economy rate of 4.00. He did better in the second innings picking up five wickets for seventy-five runs.

Kemar Roach: 5/10

Kemar Roach went wicketless for West Indies in the entire game, but he bowled well and was rather unlucky not to get a scalp.
