After bowling out England for 313 early on day five, the West Indies chased down the target of exactly 200 led by Jermaine Blackwood who scored a steadying 95 after they had wobbled to 3-27.
West Indies fast bowler Shannon Gabriel was named Player of the Match for his part in dismissing the English twice, taking nine wickets for the match, with figures of 4-62 and 5-75.
Gabriel took the final four wickets of Englandās second innings after stand-in skipper Ben Stokes (46) and Zak Crawley (76) had combined to arrest the momentum in Englandās favour on day four.
āYesterdayās effort was by far the best effort Iāve seen from this group,ā Holder said, reflecting on day four.
āNot only the bowlers - the fielders kept running round, getting through the overs, and we all kept our energy up right throughout the day.ā
England had been bowled out for 204 after winning the toss, setting up the match for the visitors who posted 318 in reply, to build a good lead.
Crawley and Stokesā rearguard offered the hosts hope, particularly 3-249 when England had established a 135-run lead with seven wickets in hand, but the West Indies showed great fight to reclaim control of the contest.
England didnāt help themselves in defending 200, with numerous dropped catches and a missed run out.
āIt was a long hard toil and a hard-fought day for West Indies, and a day that definitely went in our favour at the back end,ā Holder said.
āThe reason I say that it was the best day for me is down to the fact that every single time I asked for effort from those bowlers, no one said: āno, I canāt, Iām too tiredā. They just all kept running in.ā
Stokes, who was standing in for the absent Joe Root who was with his wife for the birth of their second child, said he had no regrets about batting first.
āWe werenāt ruthless enough,ā the all-rounder said.
āA basic of Test match cricket is getting big first-innings runs. The positive from it is weāve got a young lad in Zak Crawley who showed the potential of someone who can be around for a long time.ā
