England wrapped up a series victory over West Indies with a seven-wicket win in the third Test, chasing an Old Trafford record 231 on the final day.

Rob Key was the star with 93, sharing a partnership of 84 with skipper Michael Vaughan, who made a battling 33.

But the match was in the balance until Andrew Flintoff joined Key, making an entertaining 57 on his home ground.

England bowled the tourists out for 165 first thing, Steve Harmison taking the last wicket to finish with 4-44.

The victory was the home side's sixth win in succession, extended their unbeaten streak to 10, and saw England record an unprecedented three successive series wins over West Indies.

And in the fourth and final test, England needed to get just ONE run when they came in for their 2nd innings at The Oval.

Series ended up England winning 4-0.

Next is South Africa. Then the toughest test for the Ashes, against the Aussies, is played out next year.
