Fast bowler Stuart Broad took four wickets and medium-pacer Paul Collingwood three as West Indies struggled to 160 all out in 38.3 overs after being put into bat. Dwayne Bravo, who missed the recent Test series between the teams, was the only batsman to offer significant resistance with a sparkling 50 from 58 balls, including a six and six fours.
England lost their captain Andrew Strauss early but Ravi Bopara continued his rich vein of form with 43. Owais Shah struck 38 and Collingwood made an unbeaten 47 to see England home with 14 overs to spare. The first match of the series was washed out. The third and final one-dayer is in Birmingham on Tuesday.
Earlier, Broad removed both opener Lendl Simmons and Ramnaresh Sarwan for ducks.
Simmons was leg before on the backfoot and Sarwan caught behind off an uncertain push.
West Indies captain Chris Gayle, who’d seen his side thrashed twice during their preceding 2-0 Test series loss in England, tried to counter-attack and lofted Graeme Swann’s first ball for six. But the off-spinner had the last laugh, bowling Gayle for 31 with his next.
Bravo and Chanderpaul took the score from 44 for three to 107 for four when the latter was out to a top-edged pull off Tim Bresnan, but it was not enough.
