Watch: Shai Hope takes a screamer to dismiss Usman Khawaja; Travis Head falls to Anderson Phillip's stunner

West Indies wicketkeeper Shai Hope pulled off a spectacular catch to dismiss veteran Australia opener Usman Khawaja during the third Test match between the two teams in Kingston. Khawaja, who has been going through a lean patch, was dismissed by Shamar Joseph on Day 1 (Saturday, July 12, local time).

Australia opted to bat first after Pat Cummins won the toss in the third Test at Sabina Park. Openers Sam Konstas and Usman Khawaja added a 28-run stand from 100 deliveries. The partnership ended when Justin Greaves removed Konstas, who scored 17, to give the West Indies their first breakthrough.

Travis Head Perishes to Spectacular Diving Catch from Substitute Fielder

Australia middle-order batter Travis Head was dismissed after a stunning catch by substitute fielder Anderson Phillip. The incident took place on the final ball of the 65th over. Justin Greaves bowled a full delivery outside off, and Head attempted a lofted drive but mistimed it.

The ball went high and wide of mid-off. Phillip sprinted across and launched into a full-length dive, managing to get both hands under the ball just as his elbows touched the ground. Head had to depart to the dressing room after scoring 20 off 53 balls, leaving Australia struggling at 189/6.

Australia Collapse to 225 All Out After Promising Start in First Innings

Australia posted 225 in their first innings of the third Test, despite being well-placed at 157/3 at one point. Cameron Green (46) and Steve Smith (48) added a 61-run stand for the third wicket. However, Australia lost seven wickets after the dinner break.

Shamar Joseph was the pick of the West Indies bowlers with four wickets, while Jayden Seales and Justin Greaves claimed three each.

In reply, the West Indies were 16/1 at stumps on Day 1. Debutant Kevlon Anderson was bowled by Mitchell Starc, playing his 100th Test, for just 3. Injuries forced the West Indies to reshuffle their batting, with openers Mikyle Louis and John Campbell unavailable.

Alzarri Joseph also underwent scans for a potential injury. Brandon King (8) and skipper Roston Chase (3) remained unbeaten at the close, with the hosts trailing by 209 runs.
