At Edgbaston, Ben Stokes set a record for the fastest Test half-century by an England batter as his side won the third match of their series against West Indies by 10 wickets. Captain Stokes reached the mark in 24 balls, beating Ian Botham's 28-ball fifty from 1981 against India in Delhi. Needing 82 to secure a 3-0 series clean sweep, Stokes finished on 57 not out, with nine fours and two sixes, as England raced to their target in 7.2 overs. The fastest in Mens Cricket is 21 balls by Misbah-ul-Haq against Australia in 2014.
