LONDON (Reuters) - England eased to a six-wicket victory over West Indies in the second one-day international in Bristol on Sunday.

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.
