Chris Woakes snared five wickets to restrict West Indies to 122 before England cruised to a nine-wicket victory in a 2015 Cricket World Cup warm-up match on Monday.
Woakes (5-19) tore through the top order, dismissing Chris Gayle and Darren Bravo in the first over without scoring and opener Dwayne Smith for 21 to leave the West Indies reeling on 35-3 at the Sydney Cricket Ground.

Lendl Simmons, batting at No 6, attempted to build an innings and top-scored with 45 off 55 balls with four boundaries and a six, before he became Woakes’ fourth wicket.
Woakes had Andre Russell (7) caught by Chris Jordan for his fifth wicket, and Steven Finn chipped in with 2-34, making West Indies skipper Jason Holder regret his decision to bat first when his team was bundled out in the 30th over.
England were never in trouble in their run chase, with Moeen Ali (46) and Ian Bell putting on 70 for the opening stand. After Ali was caught in the covers off Kemar Roach’s bowling, Bell continued with James Taylor (29 not out) and finished unbeaten on 35 when England reached 125-1 in the 23rd over.
Woakes took on extra responsibility in the warm-up match with James Anderson and Stuart Broad rested ahead of England’s World Cup opener against hosts Australia in Melbourne on Saturday. West Indies open against Ireland on Monday in New Zealand.

Straightforward ways to reduce sugar in your family's diet
- Ban fruit juice and sodas
- Eat a hearty breakfast that contains fats and wholegrains, such as peanut butter on multigrain toast or full-fat plain yoghurt with whole fruit and nuts, to avoid the need for a 10am snack
- Give young children plain yoghurt with whole fruits mashed into it
- Reduce the number of cakes, biscuits and sweets. Reserve them for a treat
- Don’t eat dessert every day
- Make your own smoothies. Always use the whole fruit to maintain the benefit of its fibre content and don’t add any sweeteners
- Always go for natural whole foods over processed, packaged foods. Ask yourself would your grandmother have eaten it?
- Read food labels if you really do feel the need to buy processed food
- Eat everything in moderation

What is graphene?
Graphene is extracted from graphite and is made up of pure carbon.
It is 200 times more resistant than steel and five times lighter than aluminum.
It conducts electricity better than any other material at room temperature.
It is thought that graphene could boost the useful life of batteries by 10 per cent.
Graphene can also detect cancer cells in the early stages of the disease.
The material was first discovered when Andre Geim and Konstantin Novoselov were 'playing' with graphite at the University of Manchester in 2004.
