Gayle, Sarwan hit tons as Windies reach 224-3 at lunch

KINGSTON, Jamaica: Stuart Broad struck twice in the penultimate over before lunch to bring England back into the first Test against West Indies on Friday, after Chris Gayle and Ramnaresh Sarwan both completed hundreds.Broad snared Gayle for 104 and fellow hometown boy Xavier Marshall for a second-ball duck in the space of three balls, as West Indies, replying to England's first innings total of 318, reached 224 for three at the interval on the third day at Sabina Park.At the interval, Sarwan was undefeated on 103, and Shivnarine Chanderpaul was not out on nought.But England's successes came following a second wicket stand of 202, after West Indies continued from their overnight total of 160 for one.Broad had looked like a shadow of himself for the previous 13 overs he had bowled in the match until he got a delivery to keep low to Gayle, and the West Indies captain played back, and was bowled when he inside-edged the ball into his stumps.Gayle batted for a little over five and three-quarter hours, faced 193 balls and struck five fours and five sixes.Clearly energised, Broad sprinted in to deliver his next delivery which rushed into the front of Marshall, but his and England's loud appeal for an lbw verdict was turned down by umpire Tony Hill. Broad tore in for his next delivery, and produced a similar delivery which trapped Marshall plumb on the front foot and umpire Hill this time upheld the appeal.It was a total contrast to what had transpired earlier, when Gayle and Sarwan looked in command.England's bowlers, particularly Andrew Flintoff, whose seven overs including three maidens yielded just 12 runs, placed them under severe pressure, but they inched to the hundred-run threshold.Skipper Andrew Strauss belatedly introduced Monty Panesar in the last half-hour before the interval, and Gayle, rose from his slumber, and lofted him for consecutive sixes over long-on, and then swept him to deep fine leg for three to reach his ninth Test hundred from 182 balls.Broad then dismissed Gayle and Marshall before a relieved Sarwan swept Panesar to the deep fine leg boundary for his 10th four to reach his 12th Test hundred
