Sidebottom - playing his first Test for six years, and only his second ever - finished with second-innings figures of four for 44 at Headingley as the Windies stumbled to 141 all out.

The margin of defeat in the second Test is the worst in Windies' history - beating their innings and 237-run loss against these same opponents at The Oval 50 years ago.

Left-arm seamer Sidebottom helped to ensure England recorded victory with more than a day to spare, despite a washout on Sunday and more rain on Monday.

Steve Harmison took three for 37 as the tourists were bowled out in 42 overs second time round to go down shortly after tea.

England's victory was built on a first-innings score of 570 for seven declared, which included a maiden Test double-hundred from Kevin Pietersen (226) and a century on his comeback after 18 months out injured from captain Michael Vaughan (103).

Sidebottom, like Vaughan a Yorkshireman, made the most of perfect swing and seam-bowling conditions - and the Windies had no answer save for a second-innings half-century from Dwayne Bravo (52).

The overcast conditions and absence of both captain Ramnaresh Sarwan and Shivnarine Chanderpaul from the tourists' middle-order hurried England to their first success in seven Test outings.
