Anderson trapped Chase in front of the wicket and went for DRS after umpire turned down the appeal. The wicket was important as it ended the 81-run partnership between Chase and wicketkeeper-batsman Shane Dowrich for the sixth wicket. They were stretching the first-innings lead for West Indies.

"Not so much social distancing there. Old habits die hard," Nasser Hussain said from the commentary box.

This is the first Test after the issue of new guidelines from ICC amid Coronavirus pandemic.
