Khan snares Sarwan as English hopes rise
Related Articles
08 January 2009
Denmark-born Khan trapped Sarwan leg before wicket in his first over of the third day at Queen's Park Oval. Umpire Daryl Harper's raising of the finger sparked jubilant England celebrations - captain Chris Gayle dissuaded Sarwan from challenging the decision, it was so emphatically out - and great relief for Paul Collingwood.
West Indies took lunch on 176 for three, still 171 runs short of avoiding the follow-on, after the tourists appeared to have missed their chance of a third breakthrough when Collingwood floored a sitter at slip off Monty Panesar.
Recalled left-arm spinner Panesar produced a beauty which turned sharply to find the edge but Collingwood uncharacteristically put down the knee-high opportunity.
Moments later, however, a full delivery from Kent's Khan did the trick and increased English hopes of pulling off the win they require from this match to share the Wisden Trophy.
Sarwan, whose previous lowest score of the campaign was 94, departed for 14.
Another of the pacemen, Stuart Broad, ensured Sarwan was in early on the third morning when a short delivery rushed nightwatchman Daren Powell and ballooned off the splice to gully in the fourth over of the morning.
Sarwan got off the mark with a cut for three off off-spinner Graeme Swann, which took him beyond 600 runs for the series.
Earlier, Gayle brought up his half-century, from 75 balls, with the first run of the morning.
He progressed at a sedate pace to an unbeaten 87 but was flustered by Khan's use of the bouncer - one such delivery clattered him on the shoulder and was followed by a word or two from the bowler.
