Earlier, debutant Amjad Khan claimed the prize scalp of Ramnaresh Sarwan as his maiden international wicket, leg before wicket in his first over of the third day.
Umpire Daryl Harper’s raising of the finger sparked jubilant England celebrations - captain Gayle dissuaded Sarwan from challenging the decision, it was so emphatically out - and great relief for Paul Collingwood.
The tourists appeared to have missed their chance of a third breakthrough when Collingwood floored a sitter at slip off Panesar.
Left-arm spinner Panesar produced a beauty which turned sharply to find the edge but Collingwood uncharacteristically put down the knee-high opportunity.
Moments later, however, a full delivery from Kent’s Khan did the trick and increased English hopes of pulling off the win they require from this match to share the Wisden Trophy.
Khan and Panesar were the chief creators of discomfort, in fact, and both excitedly believed they had added to their wicket tallies.
Khan was down at fine-leg celebrating when umpire Daryl Harper confirmed that Chanderpaul, on five, had struck ground and not ball with a drive at a wide one.
Panesar’s hallmark jumping and clapping which greets every appeal was terminated twice in an action-packed spell before tea when first captain Andrew Strauss put down a chance at silly mid-off offered by Nash, on 19, and then umpire Russell Tiffin turned down what appeared a plumb leg before when the batsman had added five more.
To add to the frustration, England gave away more than 50 extras, with in excess of two dozen byes and 25 wides and no-balls impairing their chances of developing a healthy first-innings lead.
Nash reached his half-century in the third over with the new ball via an upper-cut over the slips off Khan, his ninth boundary.
