In a Test which proved a personal triumph for England's Ashley Giles, West Indies received their just desserts.

Poor in the field and profligate with the ball, the ill discipline within the team was also illustrated by some dreadful strokes, notably one played on the final day by Tino Best.

Giles' confidence has never been higher

It is unlikely that even a schoolboy would have swiped so irresponsibly as Best when Shivnarine Chanderpaul was batting so well at the other end, giving Geraint Jones an easy stumping.

Chanderpaul had the chance of matching Michael Vaughan's achievement of scoring two centuries in the game, but Best - who had not been fit to bowl in England's second innings - simply threw his wicket away.

Of course, Chanderpaul must not be included in any criticism aimed at the team.

His concentration and determination was outstanding throughout, and he was dreadfully let down by his colleagues.

Dwayne Bravo had an encouraging first Test, but while Chris Gayle did score 66 and 81, his approach to his second innings was that of a run chase rather than a salvage operation.

The West Indies management must take a firmer line to instil discipline or, on the evidence of what we have seen here, this team could self-destruct over the next month.

Giles, meanwhile, took his first five-wicket haul in England, and produced the best figures by an English spinner at Lord's for 30 years.

Tino Best paid the price for an unnecessary swipe

He would have been surprised by the amount of help he was given by an unusually dry pitch, but now he is being used as an attacking bowler, rather than an 'over-rate improver', his confidence has never been higher.

He took the key wicket of Brian Lara after 18 overs of the morning session: not a bad scalp to have as your 100th wicket in Tests.

Lara, who had batted beautifully, came down the pitch and was undone by savage spin out of the rough.

The West Indies captain walked from the ground, glancing over both shoulders as he did so.

Was he looking back at Lord's for the last time?

He suggested before the match that it might be his last Test appearance here but, hopefully, the ambition of scoring a century at Lord's will bring him back one more time.

Bravo was caught and bowled by Giles, and when Matthew Hoggard found the outside edge of Ridley Jacobs' bat, West Indies were in a slump in which they lost five wickets for 31.

Of the visitors, only Chanderpaul can look back at this match with pride and on the evidence of not merely this game, but also the Tests in the Caribbean, it will be a major surprise if they win a Test in this series.
