    "Stokes and Buttler played little gems this morning - showing solid defence and attacking when they could. They were marvellous. Buttler played some gifted shots, he should be moved up the order. The only minus from a batting perspective this morning was that Stuart Broad is scared of the ball. Somebody has to talk to him because he can bat. Now I don't expect him to make any."

    Peter Blow: £180 for two tickets to Lord's Day 4 of the Ashes. It'll never get that far under Moores. No frontline spinner in Barbados? Joke.

    Sue: England have some great players. They just need a great coach to inspire, motivate and bring out the best in them again.

    "This will build character and belief in the West Indies. It will be good for new coach Phil Simmons. Even for somebody like my 15-year-old son, it will seep into the deeper consciousness. We've been down in the dumps for a while but this is like the good old days - West Indies winning inside three days."

    Stephen Tue: As much as that was a poor defeat, I think we have to say that this tour has brought more positives than negatives.

    James Vincent Mill: At the end of the day, the players have to perform. Moores et al can't bat and bowl for them. Very disappointing from some.

    Sally Smith: Funny how people criticise this team, when they were praising the win in Grenada just over a week ago... short memories.

    "England were not assertive enough in their batting, they just didn't score enough runs quickly enough. Trott and the way he got out to that short ball from Gabriel set the tone for the match."

    Quite simply, this was a Test match, and a Test series, decided by a dreadful performance by England in their third innings. They were well ahead of the game, but they let it slip. The top order were blown away, and a few lower-order runs from Buttler and Stokes this morning proved wholly inadequate.

    Where will the inquest focus ahead of the summer Tests? Well, it looks like Jonathan Trott will be replaced at the top of the order, but there are also huge question marks over England's bowling: particularly the variety of the pace attack, and the effectiveness of the part-time spin duo of Moeen Ali and Joe Root.

    "This is West Indies' second win in last 29 Tests v England since Birmingham 2000 (Lost 18, Drawn 9)."

    "All the caterers at the ground are upset - they've lost two days of work because of England. Obviously they are joking. Everyone wants to go to the beach now... come on, let's go."

    Greg Hill: We are going to get destroyed in the Ashes this summer! No way Moores is the man to take us forward.

    Guto Ifan: If this is what England do against a 'mediocre' team, I'd hate to think how they'll do against a decent team.. say New Zealand or Australia.

    Samuel Cardwell: No reason for big changes. Cook has batted and captained well. Need a spinner, an opener and a seamer, but still a good side.

    "England have to lick their wounds. The tour was on such a high a few days ago with Jimmy Anderson's heroics in Grenada but now it's ended on a damp squib."

    "This is in no way a mediocre West Indies side, they are a developing side who have shown a lot of character. It's a famous win for the them, it will mean a lot to them. It's a chastening defeat for England, which is all down to their batting in the second innings which wasn't good enough. The bowlers huffed and puffed but they couldn't keep the pressure on."

    Jermaine Blackwood clobbers the winning runs, and West Indies have squared the series.

    A hugely disappointing defeat by England, but West Indies batted brilliantly to chase down that target in really testing circumstances. This is a side that has come of age in this series. Darren Bravo and Jermaine Blackwood were outstanding.

    "There's a shocked silence. It's a low full toss which he's smacked to the fielder. Everyone thought that was the game. Baby Bravo, the younger of the two brothers, has won the game for his team today."

    With four needed for victory, Bravo goes for a big mow and is caught by Stuart Broad at mid-off. He looks distraught, but that was a brilliant, Test match-winning knock. Bravo indeed...

    "West Indies are going to remain the only team - other than Bangladesh - not to have lost a Test when chasing less than 200 to win."

    This is comprehensive. Bravo smashes four through midwicket. Six runs needed...

    Andrew Morris: England have to blame themselves. They threw away a winning position with poor team selection and rash shots. Moores has to go.

    Well, we're all getting Bank Holiday Monday off. Blackwood brings up the 100 partnership with a nudge through square leg...

    "The Test slipped away yesterday. England's second innings started badly and just got worse. Even a couple of cameos from Ben Stokes and Jos Buttler didn't get them to a decent total."
