On Day 1 of the third Test between West Indies and Australia in Kingston, Anderson Phillip produced a moment of brilliance that stole the spotlight. The turning point came when Travis Head, attempting an aggressive loft over extra cover, miscued a full delivery from Justin Greaves. The ball hung in the air longer than expected, and Phillip, stationed at mid-off, sprinted to his right and flung himself full stretch.

Despite grazing his elbows on the turf, he completed a sensational diving catch that sent Travis Head back for a laboured 20 off 53 balls. It was Australia’s sixth wicket to fall in the pink-ball contest. Australia’s batting struggled once again, folding for 225 in 70.3 overs.

Steven Smith, who looked the most composed, top-scored with 48 off 66 deliveries. Justin Greaves impressed with the ball, picking up 3 for 56 in his 14 overs, while Jayden Seales mirrored him with 3 for 59 in 16. The remaining four wickets were taken by the impressive Shamar Joseph, who was also the most economical bowler with figures of 4 for 33 from 17.3 overs.

West Indies, in response, adopted a cautious approach in the short session before stumps. They reached 16 for 1 in nine overs, losing Kevlon Anderson for 3. Brandon King (8* off 26) and Roston Chase (3* off 14) will resume the innings on Day 2.

Despite already having sealed the series with victories in the first two Tests by 159 and 133 runs, Australia will be eager to complete a clean sweep. However, the Windies, under Chase’s leadership, will be determined to finish on a high and will look to post a solid first-innings total to apply pressure.
