22.6 to C Green, edged and taken this time! Campbell breathes a sigh of relief, and Seales lets out a massive celebratory cry! This is on a length outside off, shaping away beautifully and shaping away very late. Green after an hour's toil, cannot resist the temptation and goes chasing at it. Gets a thick outside edge and Chase, stationed at gully, makes no mistake whatsoever. What an over on the stroke of lunch, and that will indeed be the end of this riveting first session!. 93/4 59.1 to MA Starc, Starc can't check his shot in time and edges to the keeper. 138ks, fullish around the wicket. Fourth-stump line, Starc looked to punch it towards cover, was too early into it and by the time he realised it wasn't there, it was too late. 256/8 | |||||||||||
| 15 | 2 | 63 | 1 | 4.20 | 58 | 8 | 0 | 0 | 1 | ||
26.3 to TM Head, Brute of a ball, one-handed catch. Looked clean, Richard Kettleborough will send it upstairs just to confirm. Length ball on fourth bounced extra and shaped away, Head was shaping to push it square of the wicket with an angled bat. It hit him on the handle, bottom hand came right off and he grunted in pain. The ball landed on the flap of Hope's gloves and bounced in the palms. Nitin Menon says the fingers were under the ball, gives it out.. 110/5 | |||||||||||
| 15.5 | 3 | 61 | 4 | 3.85 | 70 | 9 | 0 | 0 | 1 | ||
10.3 to UT Khawaja, That looks out, given! Australia review. Lot of swing in. Length ball on fourth delivered from close to the stumps. It came in to beat the full-faced block. Both feet were inside the crease and it hit him top of the pad. Impact on middle, clipping the top of the stumps. Khawaja has to walk back.. 47/1 12.5 to SPD Smith, catch it is the cry, and catch it is what Anderson Phillip does! Alzarri takes out the big fish, and Smith's return to the fold is not as fruitful as he or Australia would have liked! Dug into the track outside off and Smith's eyes light up. He shapes up to swipe it over mid wicket but the ball seems to just hold in the surface enough. Through the shot early and the ball skews up off the top edge. Phillip settles under it at fine leg, keeps his eyes on the ball the entire time and takes it smartly in front of his face. Smith shakes his head in disappointment and West Indies, just like that, have three wickets in very quick succession!. 50/3 56.4 to PJ Cummins, Low bounce and it deflects off Cummins' pad onto the stumps. Short of a length, sharp angle in, Cummins showed all three stumps and was shaping to duck. Instead, he had to jump and get his hands low to try and jam it out. Cummins' pad came in the way as the bat came down too. Alzarri can't contain his laugh. Greaves, in the background at first slip, was more flustered though given this is still a day-one pitch.. 247/7 66.5 to NM Lyon, gloved and taken! Alzarri finishes with a four-wicket haul, and Australia have been bowled out for 286! Banged in short again and this just cramps Lyon a little. He tries to help it on its way but all he manages is a feather off the glove. Smart catch by Hope to his left, and that will be that for Australia with the bat today!. 286/10 | |||||||||||

11.1 to SJ Konstas, Phillip pitches it up and has Konstas out driving. Fullish ball around sixth, Konstas' front foot was around off despite the small stride across, he reached with his hands and committed to it. Didn't get enough reach and feathered it to the keeper. Both change bowlers strike just before drinks.. 47/2 | |||||||||||

51.2 to AT Carey, Pulled straight to catching midwicket! Somewhat soft. Just 126ks back of length ball sponged up over middle, around waist height. The height was what did Carey in, he couldn't extend his elbows and the ball went off the sticker. Brathwaite takes it to the right, around his chest. Carey went 'oh' and tucked his bat under his armpit right after hitting it. 222/6 | |||||||||||

62.3 to S Joseph, Starc comes, Starc strikes. Fires a 137ks full ball on leg, followed Shamar as he looked to make room and whip it through midwicket. Missed it and the ball deflected off the pad onto middle and off. 237/9 | |||||||||||
| 14 | 4 | 43 | 2 | 3.07 | 66 | 3 | 2 | 0 | 0 | ||
1.5 to KC Brathwaite, Brathwaite falls for a duck on his 100th Test. Might be the ball holding in the pitch, a bit of seam in too. It was a 134ks full ball on fifth and he went for a drive through mid-off. He didn't check it. The bottom hand took over, the bat turned inside and he spooned a low catch to Hazlewood's left.. 7/1 28.4 to RL Chase, Big shout for lbw. There were two sounds, not given, Australia review. 136ks, length ball with the seam pointing towards fine leg. Chase looked to defend towards mid-off. There was a small gap between bat and ball and the two sounds came from the ball hitting the front knee-roll and the back leg. Impact is around middle and it's hitting leg! Cheer among the Australians as the replay comes on. They strike in the first over after lunch.. 111/4 | |||||||||||

8.2 to KU Carty, Wow, Cummins had slid a mile to take a low one-hander! There was no short leg and the ball popped high. Cummins ran about six steps, got outside the pitch, stuck his front knee in the ground, had his right hand stretched out as he slid and held with palms pointing up. Was a wobble ball on a length around fifth that Carty tried to defend straight, it seamed in, took the inside edge onto knee roll. It went well to the left of where short leg would've been. 40/2 44.4 to SD Hope, cleans him up with an absolute corker! Cummins has worked Hope over completely here. The last ball was bowled from wide of the crease and straightened and this one, bowled from wide of the crease again, jags back in with the angle. Hope leaves a massive gap between bat and pad as he looks to keep this length ball out, and the ball bursts through his defences. Clocks the top of off stump and Hope has been done all ends up by Cummins and his genius. He has a wry smile on his face as he walks off, but it seems a look of resignation - the kind where he knew he could not have done much to alter the outcome!. 169/5 | |||||||||||

15.2 to JD Campbell, oh dear - that is incredibly poor shot, and Campbell has to walk back! Back of a length outside off. Campbell, rather ambitiously, walks down the track and looks to whip it over the leg side. The ball, though, bounces just enough and gets a little big on him. Skews up rather tamely and Starc takes the easiest catch he will probably ever receive at mid on. A real brain fade moment from Campbell and Webster, like he did in Barbados, pops up with another vital wicket!. 64/3 | |||||||||||
| 19 | 2 | 75 | 3 | 3.94 | 81 | 5 | 5 | 0 | 0 | ||
45.2 to BA King, excitement from Australia for a caught-behind. Smith is asking everyone around him, and Australia indeed go upstairs! This is on a back of a length again but spits off the surface much more. Some extra bounce and some appreciable turn, and it looks like the ball goes past King's glove as he looks to abandon his leg-side punch late. The glove seems to be close to the ball and hang on. Oh hang on...there is a discernible spike on UltraEdge too. Lyon outwits King, and Australia, almost out of nowhere, have two in quick succession!. 169/6 47.6 to JP Greaves, Australia appeal in unison, and so does the umpire! Lyon nabs another, and WI slide further into trouble! Looped up deliciously outside off and this drops on Greaves very late. He looks to fetch it from well in front of his body but the revs Lyon imparts, plus the over-spin, means he gets nowhere near the pitch of the delivery. The ball turns in enough, grazes the inside edge, ricochets off the front pad and is then held smartly by Carey. Australia on the up and up now!. 174/7 59.3 to AS Joseph, Catch is the call... taken at long-on! Lyon breaks the partnership pestering Australia. Loops it above the eyeline, gets it fullish on fourth, Alzarri took a step forward and muscled the drive. Connection wasn't good enough. Green was standing well inside the ropes while taking it with fingers up.. 225/8 | |||||||||||

73.2 to A Phillip, gentle lob back to Head, and that should be that for West Indies with the bat today! But hang on...the umpires want to check if the catch is clean! Back of a length delivery just ouside off. Holds in the surface and Phillip, looking to push it down the ground, pops it back tamely to the bowler. Head dives sharply and low to his right and seems to get both hands under the ball. Replays, though, suggest there could be something in it for the batter. This looks touch-and-go, and Nitin Menon, the third umpire, decides that the fingers are underneath the ball and that this is a clean catch. Well well. This may not have been as contentious as some of the decisions in Barbados, but this might be debated deep into this evening too. Although, it must be said, this looked like it just about carried!. 253/10 | |||||||||||

0.4 to SJ Konstas, chopped on, and Seales has a wicket in his very first over! This is shorter outside off and Kosntas' eyes light up. He thinks this is there to be hit and to be fair to him, it perhaps is. But he tugs at it a little too much, probably extra eager to get off the mark. The bottom hand takes over and the ball cannons off the inside/under edge into the stumps. A nightmare start for Australia; just the beginning WI and Seales would have been after!. 0/1 2.5 to UT Khawaja, rapped right in front, and that is plumb with a capital P! Almost a carbon copy of Khawaja's dismissals in the last two innings. This starts outside off, pitches on a back of a length and swerves back in devilishly. Khawaja is caught on the crease again and gets pinned on the back leg. The ball might have kept a little low as well, but that seemed pretty adjacent. Khawaja, though, wants to have another look. There is daylight between bat and ball. Ball Tracking comes up and...reckons the ball would have missed off stump. And leg stump. Because it is absolutely clattering into the middle of middle stump. Khawaja's woes continue, and Australia's top-order woes continue!. 4/2 | |||||||||||

39.5 to C Green, oh no - Green perishes right after getting to fifty, and Shamar breaks this partnership! This is on the shorter side and a little outside off. Green thinks he can cut this away but the ball is just a little closer than he wants it to. Cannot extend his arms fully and all he manages is an inside edge onto his stumps. Green is absolutely livid with himself. And after putting in all the hard work, he has to depart, with Australia still not completely out of the woods!. 121/4 62.3 to TM Head, knocks him over! Head's resistance comes to an end, and Australia are now seven down! Shortish outside off and this nips back in with the angle. Probably keeps a little low and that, coupled with the inward angle, means Head only grabs a handful of fresh air on his waft. Hears the death rattle of off stump soon after and Head is bewildered and puzzled as he trudges off. A vital wicket for West Indies, and they will now feel they can wrap up this innings tonight!. 212/7 64.5 to PJ Cummins, Cummins edges the first ball he faces today to the keeper. Was a length ball that landed on off and straightened, found Cummins square-on and in the crease as he looked to fend straight. Thick edge. Perfect start for WI.. 222/8 68.3 to AT Carey, That looks out, not out called. Was the angle doing too much? WI review. Fullish ball landed on fourth and hit him around middle, Carey tried to defend it towards mid-on, didn't move his feet and it decked in. Hit above the knee-roll but his foot his an inch in front of the crease. Height is indeed not an issue as Hawk-Eye shows it'd smash top of leg. Four for Shamar. 234/9 | |||||||||||

14.4 to NM Lyon, nicked and taken, eventually! Alzarri draws first blood on day three, and Lyon has to go! Back of a length outside off and like the previous ball, this one curves away quite late too. Lyon, by then, has decided to poke at it and gets a thick outside edge. The ball flies to Campbell at third slip, and he nearly makes a mess of it before ultimately holding on to the chance in front of his face. Alzarri on the board early in the day, WI will be happy with how promptly this wicket has materailized after the rain break!. 28/3 71.3 to JR Hazlewood, Knocks off bail! Shapes away after hitting a three-quarter length around middle and off, Hazlewood looked to defend towards mid-off, was too far beside the line. Starc runs, Hazlewood takes a moment before leaving.. 243/10 | |||||||||||

52.4 to SPD Smith, Big shout for lbw. Given. Smith is flummoxed and reviews straightaway. 127ks length ball landed on off and hit the front pad, he was looking to defend to mid-off. Bat was next to pad but behind the ball as it hit him on the knee-roll. Nitin Menon says it's hit pad first. Umpire's call on impact, that's what matters in the end. Hawk-Eye also projects it'd hit off.. 179/5 54.4 to BJ Webster, Edged, taken at wide slip! Greaves has two in two overs. Chase standing at third slip, maybe gully, with a big gap between him and the keeper, but this comes straight and around his shin. Was a wide full ball at 130ks, there for the cover drive, Webster tried the expansive one and got a thick edge. Might've been a case of the ball coming off slower then he expected. Has to walk back in the drizzle. 181/6 | |||||||||||

6.5 to KU Carty, nicked and gone! Carty has been put out of his misery, and Starc finds himself on the board too! This is in that nagging channel just outside off and on a back of a length, meaning that Carty has to battle between the thought of playing or leaving it. In the end, he nibbles at it and all he manages is a feather through to Carey. West Indies two down very early in the piece, and both of Australia's new-ball bowlers have a wicket now!. 15/2 24.6 to RL Chase, Chase falls down, both knees on the ground. Never a good optic when an lbw appeal is made. Duly given out. He reviews and punches his bat. Back of length ball lands on fourth, didn't bounce as much as Chase wanted, beat the flick and hit just over the knee-roll. Hawk-Eye says it'd go on to clip leg stump. Chase has to walk back. 86/6 26.1 to JP Greaves, trapped right in front, and the finger goes up! Starc continues to wreak havoc! Back of a length, slanting into middle and leg. This almost rolls along the ground and Greaves is not expecting that at all. Extremely late in getting his bat down and the ball smashes him on the front pad. Seemed to be heading into leg stump and Greaves does not even bother with the review. Ball Tracking reckons the ball would have clipped the outside of leg stump. Umpiire's Call on the Wickets parameter, meaning that even if Greaves had reviewed, the original decision would have stood!. 99/7 | |||||||||||

1.2 to JD Campbell, massive lbw shout, and given! That looks very, very adjacent! This is on a back of a length and pitches just outside off. Jags back in sharply and keeps a touch low. Campbell's feet are stuck to concrete and he cannot access the ball because of the brisk inward movement. Gets pinned on the knee roll of the front pad and the finger goes up. Campbell wants to have another look, however. No bat involved. Ball Tracking comes up and...reckons the ball would have thundered into the top of leg stump. Three reds and Campbell has to go. Takes a review along with him too!. 0/1 20.3 to SD Hope, Skies a pull, no distance on it at all, Hazlewood doesn't have to move much and takes it around chest-height. Hope looking to make the play again, took a stride forward and went through with the pull to a shortish ball rearing towards his chest. 71/5 | |||||||||||

12.4 to BA King, well, now we know why they wanted the change of ball! Cummins upends King with an absolute crackerjack, and West Indies lurch further into crisis on the cusp of lunch! This is angled in, on a length just outside off. King thinks this will come in and that he can defend it on off stump. but the ball straightens just a smidgen. Whistles past the outside edge and then thumps into off stump. King cannot believe what has just happened, and he trudges off, all while Australia leave the field with beaming smiles, and knowing that they are well and truly in control of this contest!. 33/4 | |||||||||||

9.3 to KC Brathwaite, edged and Webster sends Brathwaite back for just seven in his 100th Test! Angled in on a length just outside off. On pitching, though, it just straightens. But because of the original angle, Brathwaite feels he has to play at it. Does so half-heartedly and without conviction and only tickles it through to Carey. Webster in on the act, and he has come up clutch yet again!. 29/3 | |||||||||||

27.1 to AS Joseph, Alzarri swings like a rusty gate and bites the dust! Lyon dangles the carrot outside off and Alzarri bites (of course he does). He looks to tonk this into next week but does not quite get to the pitch of the ball. Shanks it towards deep mid wicket, where Green runs around to his left, settles under it and completes the catch. A brisk cameo, but that seems to have only reduced the margin of defeat for the hosts, apart from providing the home crowd something to cheer about!. 103/8 32.6 to S Joseph, this goes straight up, and Webster does the rest! Shamar's six-hitting salvo comes to an end, and West Indies are on the brink now! Lyon holds his nerve and tosses this up outside off, asking Shamar to fetch it. Unlike earlier in the over, Shamar tries to go leg side and due to the line, he ends up dragging it. Possibly off the bottom half of the bat and Webster, running around to his right from long on, snares the chance with ease. West Indies nine down, and staring down the barrel!. 131/9 34.3 to JNT Seales, goes straight up, and that is all over, Red Rover! Australia, coming into the Caribbean having endured heartbreak over in the United Kingdom, trump West Indies for the second time in as many games, and win this series at the first time of asking! Not a performance as clinical as what they usually produce, but when the game demanded it, they stood up, and they stood up like only they can! This is floated up on middle and leg. Seales, who walked in with the intention of swinging at every possible delivery, swings at this one too. Scuffs it terribly, though, and the ball only gains distance. Lyon runs back, tracks it all the way and then leaps over his shoulder (while running back) to snaffle up a smart chance. He finishes with three in the innings, and Australia finish with 133 still in the bank!. 143/10 | |||||||||||
