PLAYER RATINGS: High marks for England as they enjoy their best match of the series

TOM EDWARDS runs the rule over the individual performances of both sets of players during the third Test at the Darren Sammy Stadium, St. Lucia

ENGLAND

Rory Burns (29 & 10): A disappointing Test for Burns, and one he might look on as a missed opportunity to properly cement his place in the team. Got out to the first ball of the third day in pretty bad fashion and will want to move on pretty quickly. 2

Keaton Jennings (8 & 23): If we're being brutally honest, Jennings should not have ben playing in this match. England should have had a backup opener. It was not surprising when he failed. 2

Joe Denly (20 & 69; 0-16): An innings that England really needed from a batsman coming in at No.3. The Kent man looked comfortable at the crease, played some beautiful strokes and could probably have gone on to get something bigger. Did well for Hetmyer's run out. 7

Joe Root (15 & 122): A much-needed return to form for the England captain. Had to work very hard for his runs and showed a great deal of grit and determination in the face of some tricky spells of bowling. 9

Jos Buttler (67 & 56): Did not add to his single Test century, but was done by an absolute jaffa from Kemar Roach in the second. England won't mind if he continues putting in these sorts of performances.  8

Ben Stokes (79 & 48*; 0-17 & 2-30): More like the Ben Stokes we all know and love, looked more clear-headed at the crease and batted with confidence. Like Buttler and Denly, will be disappointed not to have got a century, but did enough. 8

Jonny Bairstow (2 & DNB; 1 st): Moved down the order and suddenly looked a lot worse with the bat. Was impressive with the gloves, reacting quickly to stump Keemo Paul in the Windies first innings, which is particularly important in his ongoing battle with Ben Foakes for the gloves. 5

Moeen Ali (13 & DNB; 4-36 & 3-99): Despite England losing this series, Moeen Ali actually might be coming out of with a bit of credit. Bowled beautifully in the Windies first innings, and was unlucky not get more in the second. Took a brilliant catch in the slips. 8

Mark Wood (6 & DNB; 5-41 & 1-52): What a spell. There is little else more exciting in cricket than watching someone bowl really fast. It just gets the juices flowing and Wood was utterly irrepressible as he picked up his maiden Test five-wicket-haul. 10

Stuart Broad (0* & DNB; 1-42 & 0-22): Not his most impressive performance, but did his bit. With Wood bowling like he was, didn't really need to do that much, but kept it very tight in both innings. Took an absolute stunner to remove Joseph. 6

James Anderson (0 & DNB; 0-31 & 3-27): Having failed to take a wicket in the first innings, he made changes to his run-up and looked unplayable in that way only Anderson can in his opening spell in the second. 8

WEST INDIES

Kraigg Brathwaite (12 & 8; 0-5 & 0-24): With the West Indies looking in pretty good shape in the first innings he got out playing an utterly stupid stroke. Covered economically for Keemo Paul when he got injured. 3

John Campbell (41 & 0): A pretty thrilling cameo in the first, much like all the cameos he has played throughout this series, where he made the great Jimmy Anderson look like his plaything before missing a straight one from Moeen. Jimmy got his revenge though. 6

Shai Hope (1 & 14): The first of Wood's victims, and couldn't handle the express pace the Durham man was generating. Seemed to play on his mind when he was out to the same man bowling a lot more sedately. 3

Darren Bravo (6 & 0): Having looked immovable in the second Test, did not look particularly convincing here. Lasted a lot longer than most in the face of a fired-up Wood, but made the sort of mistake he didn't look like making the second. 3

Roston Chase (0 & 102*; 0-40 & 0-92): England made him look a lot less like Muttiah Muralitharan this time around. Showed a lot of guts for his century in the second innings, and was an example for the rest of the time. 7

Shimron Hetmyer (8 & 19): Has not looked quite as dazzling since that first Test, and shelled a simple chance as England took control of the match. 3

Shane Dowrich (38 & 19): A man that the West Indies seem to be able to rely on. Kept magnificently, and took a magnificent diving catch to get rid of Ben Stokes. 7

Keemo Paul (9 & 12; 2-58 & 1-11): Real shame to see him pull up after he looked really bright with the ball in hand. Did well when he was fit to play. Credit to him for coming out to help Chase get his century. 7

Kemar Roach (16* & 29; 4-48 & 1-45): Bowled magnificently in the first innings, and was unlucky only to get one wicket in the second. But what a wicket it was, bowling Jos Buttler with an absolute beauty. 8

Alzarri Joseph (2 & 34; 2-61 & 1-72): Another no-frills performance from the seam bowler which seem to be becoming his trademark. Didn't take control of the match but contributed and supported Roach really well. 6

Shannon Gabriel (4 & 3; 2-49 & 2-95): Bowled with a lot of gusto, which is his wont, and continued to look dangerous. 7
