BUMBLE ON THE TEST: Harry Brook looked like the new Kevin Pietersen in England's Trent Bridge win over West Indies... and beware the silent assassins!

England moved into an unassailable 2-0 lead in their Test series with the West Indies on Sunday by winning at Trent Bridge with a day to spare.

Having won at Lord's in three days, England got the job done in four in Nottingham.

Joe Root's 32nd Test century helped England set the Windies a victory target of 385, while Harry Brook also hit a ton.

The tourists did not get close thanks to a fine bowling display by Shoaib Bashir, who took five wickets in the second innings to go with his two from the first.

England won by 241 runs in front of DAVID 'BUMBLE' LLOYD, who has offered his thoughts on a compelling day four to Mail Sport.

Brook's the new KP 

Harry Brook's 109 was his first Test hundred at home. What a marvellous player he is. He's got every shot in the book and left fellow Yorkshireman Joe Root standing.

Root says that batting with Brook is like batting with former England star Kevin Pietersen, who was no stranger to fireworks. For me, there is no higher praise.

Hail the silent assassins 

There was a private battle going on between Brook and West Indies quick Jayden Seales. Fast bowlers can get stung in that sort of situation. Shades of Jimmy Anderson, Glenn McGrath or Angus Fraser. But think of former West Indies greats Andy Roberts, Malcolm Marshall and Michael Holding — beware the silent assassins!

My franchise fears

West Indies have the makings of a decent side — they have a bowling attack with some pace and hungry batters such as Kavem Hodge and Alick Athanaze — but I fear in time these good young players will be lost to franchise cricket. It would be different with a more even distribution of international revenues.

Warm-ups are wise move 

What a grand idea for the 18 first-class counties to be playing the national counties on Sunday. It was something of a throwback to my playing days, when second XIs had regular fixtures against minor counties. These kind of contests provide young players with exceptional competition and a good education. 

Cards on the table 

Back in York this weekend. What a beautiful city it is. I treated Vipers to a meal at the Ivy. It was all very posh. It was like being in Monte Carlo. The most extraordinary thing occurred on the table next to us, though. A family sat, no food or drink ordered, playing games of cards. For two hours. It was like being in the middle of a bridge club!

I'm knot one for speeding 

There was a bit of an incident on the River Ouse when a man on a boat moored in the marina remonstrated with us, suggesting we were going too fast.

Well, I was only doing 3.5 knots, so wasn't entirely sure if it was me that was the target of his displeasure or the bloke overtaking us in a canoe.

It's the gig economy! 

Once in the city, there was a bit of a racket at the Museum Gardens. Turns out it was Shed Seven's homecoming gig. As a Yorkshireman by residence, I asked myself: 'Why pay £65 a ticket when you can listen from the river for free?' Judging by the crowd assembling, others had clearly been thinking the same thing. How much?!
