The opener, cramped for room by the short delivery, sent the ball up high, but Gill’s sharp anticipation turned it into a spectacular dismissal.

The West Indies, who were forced to bat again 270 runs behind, went into tea struggling at 35 for 2. John Campbell was unbeaten on 18, while Alick Athanaze was bowled by Washington Sundar for seven on the stroke of the interval.
