Alastair Cook has claimed that the nine-wicket win in the second Test against the West Indies was a tribute to England's impressive attitude in Grenada.
Poor weather early in the match and a pitch which offered little encouragement to the bowlers for long spells threatened to derail England's hopes of victory, but James Anderson put the tourists in charge early on day five before they wrapped up a comfortable triumph.
Cook was keen to reserve praise for Anderson, Joe Root and Gary Ballance after a win which leaves England needing just a draw in Bridgetown to clinch the series.
"It was a slow wicket, so to get 20 wickets was a great tribute to our attitude and character," the captain, who followed his half-century in the first innings by hitting an unbeaten 59 in the run chase, claimed at the post-match presentation.
"It's all about putting the ball in the right area - credit to Jimmy, what an outstanding spell that was.
"I can't fault the lads at all today. The way Joe Root played, him and Gary Ballance are taking run-making to a new level and it's great to see. It's been a lot of hard work and we've got our rewards today."
The win in Grenada is England's first in an away Test since beating India in Kolkata in December 2012.
