Birmingham: England were set a target of just 82 to win the third Test against the West Indies after dismissing the tourists for 175 in their second innings on Sunday's third day at Edgbaston.
Fast bowler Mark Wood polished off the tail with a spell of 5-9 in six overs to finish with 5-40 in 14 overs.
West Indies opener Mikyle Louis, whose 57 was his maiden Test fifty and Kavem Hodge (55) offered some resistance but the next highest score in the innings was 12 -- a total shared by Alick Athanaze, Jason Holder and extras.
England opening batsman Zak Crawley had earlier left Edgbaston for a scan after suffering a blow to his right index finger while dropping a slip catch in Sunday's first session, with captain Ben Stokes taking his place at the top of the order for the run chase.
England have already won this three-match series at 2-0 up after an innings and 114-run win at Lord's was followed by a 241-run win at Trent Bridge.
