England keep an eye on Gayle
The most pivotal wicket in this series is undoubtedly Chris Gayle's and his dismissal in the second innings in Antigua is an example of how England's plans against him are working, writes Vic Marks in the Guardian.
The field was shuffled for the off-spinner. There were seven men on the off-side: a slip, a silly point, two men at short extra-cover and two men guarding the boundary at cover and long-off. This meant that there were acres of space on the leg-side. There were just Harmison at deep backward square-leg and Anderson at mid-on. England were tempting Gayle with those wide open spaces.
