Travis Head falls to a spectacular diving catch from substitute fielder in WI vs AUS 2025 3rd Test [Watch]

West Indies substitute fielder Anderson Phillip pulled off a sensational diving catch to dismiss Australia’s Travis Head on Day 1 (Saturday, July 12) of the third Test at Sabina Park in Kingston, Jamaica.

The dismissal happened on the final ball of the 65th over in Australia’s first innings. Justin Greaves delivered a full ball outside the off stump, and Head tried an aerial drive. Fielding at mid-off, Phillip sprinted to his right and made a full-length dive, getting both hands under the ball and holding on to the catch, even as his elbows brushed the turf.
