Shoaib Bashir spoke of the pride he felt to have taken his second five wicket-haul for England on first visit to Trent Bridge.

The 22-year-old spun England to victory as the hosts took all 10 wickets in the third session of the fourth day, claiming eventual figures of 5-41 as West Indies succumbed to a 241-run defeat at Nottinghamshire’s home.

It is the Somerset bowler’s second Test five-wicket haul after he became the second youngest spinner to achieve the milestone in England’s recent away series to India, while it was his first occasion bowling in a home Test, after he was not called upon at Lord’s last week. 

“Yeah, that was special,” he beamed.

“It was the first time I’ve bowled in England for England, so it was special to finish it in a session. 

“In the first innings, I wasn’t as consistent as I should have been, so it is nice in the second innings to cash in.

“I am still just trying to soak everything in. It happened so fast, I am just enjoying it.”

He is the first men’s spinner to take five-wickets in a Test at Trent Bridge in 18 years, joining the esteemed company of ​​Muttiah Muralitharan.

His captain, Ben Stokes, was fulsome in his praise for the bowler, stating his “showed the world” his talent. 

“His intention was always to take wickets and not just hold an end up. The way he changes his pace with overspin, underspin, he showed his full bag of tricks,” Stokes said.

“The ball he got Jason Holder with was an example of that. His ceiling is so high and he has an unbelievable work rate.

“I think what he has done is he’s shown the world what he can do.”

Bashir also explained that he has leaned on the support of the full England dressing room having entered the squad over the winter, while he credited spin coach Jeetan Patel for the developments made to his game.

“I’m the youngest in the group and everyone gets around me quite nicely,” he said. 

“I have worked closely with Jeets and he gives me a lot of tips on how to bowl on different wickets. 

"I watched Kevin Sinclair bowl and he wasn’t getting much spin, so I wasn’t too hopeful [of getting wickets] but I guess things can happen quickly in cricket and it was just nice to bowl them out.”

Bashir’s contributions followed hundreds for both Harry Brook and Joe Root on the fourth day, with the latter tallying his third in as many Tests in the East Midlands. 

Their contributions helped set West Indies a 385-run target, or four sessions to save the game, before Bashir wreaked havoc, while Chris Woakes, Mark Wood and Gus Atkinson all claimed scalps.
