England has defeated the West Indies by nine wickets to win the second Test and take a 1-0 lead in the three-match series.

Set a target of 143 at Grenada’s National Cricket Stadium, Gary Ballance was 81 not out while skipper Alastair Cook was unbeaten on 59.

Earlier, the West Indies had been dismissed for 307 in their second innings.

The first Test in Antigua last week ended in a draw while the third and final Test gets underway in Barbados on Friday.
