West Indies - 154 & 252 / 277 & 362-5 dec - England
West Indies needed 485 for victory, but were dismissed for 252, with Anderson and Ali starring for the tourists, taking 3-27 and 3-99 respectively.England reduced the hosts to 10-3 and 110-6, with Chase batting for more than four hours to steady the innings, scoring his century from 191 balls with 12 fours and one six.
Moeen Ali bowled tidily and captain Root found form with the bat - but it came too late for the series.

Anderson was given a heavy workload in the Caribbean and struggled since taking 5-46 in the first Test, but he spent time on Monday working to tighten up his action.
He bowled accurately, with John Campbell caught brilliantly at gully by Moeen Ali in the third ball of the innings.
England missed chances through Jos Buttler, dropping Shai Hope at third slip, but Root at second was able to cling on when Anderson found the edge of Darren Bravo's bat.
Chase was unable to form partnerships through his stint at the crease - Shimron Hetmyer was run out going for an impossible third run, and Shane Dowrich was caught at slip off a Moeen delivery.
Chase continued to accumulate, with Alzarri Joseph twice hitting Moeen for six, and when Joseph was caught at mid-on, it looked like Chase would not make his century.
However, he cut Joe Denly's leg-spin to the boundary for his fifth Test century, before Paul was caught and bowled by Ben Stokes.
It was a tame end to a competitive series from West Indies, but their performances in the first two Tests were enough to ensure the series win.

England's winter started with an impressive 3-0 series victory in Sri Lanka, but ended with several batting collapses and a 2-1 defeat in the Caribbean.
Coach Trevor Bayliss said before the West Indian tour that he wanted to establish a settled top three before the summer.
Four different opening batsmen and five different number threes have been used in six Tests.
Jonny Bairstow moved from a top-order batsman to seven.
Keaton Jennings scored just 62 runs in four innings while Denly and Rory Burns failed to make big scores.
Mark Wood's emergence as a bowler of genuine pace and wickets for Moeen and Stokes adds further confidence to their bowling attack.
