Resuming at 137/6, Windies saw overnight batters skipper Jason Holder (46) and wicketkeeper Shane Dowrich (37) share a 68-run stand for the seventh wicket to revive their flailing fortunes.
But once Broad got into the act, there was no stopping the veteran pacer as he trapped Holder in front to then dismiss Rahkeem Cornwall in a similar fashion. Kemar Roach helped Broad bag his five-for by edging a full-length delivery to England captain Joe Root, who took a low catch at first slip.
Finally, Dowrich's vigil came to an end as a back of a length Broad beauty saw him hole out to Chris Woakes at mid-on. The Windies folded for 197.
