Match over
2.5 : 2.5: Mitchell Starc to Tagenarine Chanderpaul, Four!
3.2 : 3.2: Josh Hazlewood to Kraigg Brathwaite, FOUR! This time off the outside edge! Yet another fortunate boundary but for Kraigg Brathwaite this time. This is fuller and around off, it shapes back in. Kraigg Brathwaite looks to drive but it goes off the inside edge, past the leg pole and down to the fine leg fence. Luck favoring the visitors for now.
9.4 : 9.4: Pat Cummins to Tagenarine Chanderpaul, OUT! TAKEN! That is a seriously good catch! That is brilliantly taken by Cameron Green! Back in the side and makes an impact in the field. Pat Cummins comes on and strikes. This is fuller and outside off, Tagenarine Chanderpaul reaches out for it, he looks to drive it through covers but this goes off the outer half towards gully. Cameron Green times his jump and takes it above his head. First wicket for the Aussies. They had to be patient for it but th
10.5 : 10.5: Mitchell Starc to Kirk Mckenzie, FOUR! Clipped away! Nice and fine! Kirk Mckenzie is off the mark with a boundary! This is full and on the pads, Kirk Mckenzie flicks it fine on the leg side and this one races away to the fence.
11.4 : 11.4: Pat Cummins to Kraigg Brathwaite, Four!
13.5 : 13.5: Pat Cummins to Kraigg Brathwaite, OUT! TIMBER! That is a beauty! That is an absolute beauty! Almost unplayable. This is angled in from wide of the crease. It lands on a length and around off and then moves away. Kraigg Brathwaite looks to defend but does so for the original trajectory. The movement beats him and it hits the off pole. Pat Cummins has two and Windies in a spot of bother.
14.1 : 14.1: Nathan Lyon to Kirk Mckenzie, Four!
22.2 : 22.2: Mitchell Marsh to Kirk Mckenzie, Four!
23.3 : 23.3: Josh Hazlewood to Alick Athanaze, OUT! TIMBER! Error in judgement and Alick Athanaze falls. Josh Hazlewood gets his first and Windies sink further. This is on a length, a lot fuller than Alick Athanaze thought. He looks to leave it on length. It is on the stumps. It does not bounce as much as Alick Athanaze thought it would and it crashes into the stumps. 250 Test wickets for Josh Hazlewood!
26.6 : 26.6: Mitchell Starc to Kirk Mckenzie, FOUR! A boundary to end the session! Fuller and on off, this is driven through covers. It races away to the fence. THAT WILL BE LUNCH!
27.6: Pat Cummins to Kavem Hodge, FOUR! That is a glorious stroke! Wow! It made a cracking sound off the bat too! Fuller and outside off, Kavem Hodge strokes it through covers. This one races away to the fence.
30.4 : 30.4: Cameron Green to Kirk Mckenzie, FOUR! Cut away! Shorter and outside off, Kirk Mckenzie cuts it past point and this one races away to the fence.
34.2 : 34.2: Cameron Green to Kavem Hodge, FOUR! This is another lovely stroke! This is fuller again, Kavem Hodge shows the full face of the bat and strokes it down the ground and to the long off fence.
35.4 : 35.4: Josh Hazlewood to Kirk Mckenzie, FOUR! Carved away! This is on a length and outside off, Kirk Mckenzie guides it past point and this one races away to the fence.
37.1 : 37.1: Josh Hazlewood to Kavem Hodge, OUT! EDGED AND TAKEN! Number 4 down and Josh Hazlewood gets his second. Yet again, just as a partnership was building, it has been broken. The extra bounce brings about the downfall. Australia is not a place where you can driven on the up and that is what Kavem Hodge looks to do. It is on a length and outside off. Kavem Hodge tries to hit it through covers but it goes off the outside edge due to the extra bounce and it is taken by Green at gully.
38.3 : 38.3: Nathan Lyon to Kirk Mckenzie, FOUR! Kirk Mckenzie moves onto 49! He is growing in confidence and that shot shows it. This is tossed up on middle, Kirk Mckenzie plants his front foot forward and hits it over the bowler's head for a boundary.
38.6 : 38.6: Nathan Lyon to Justin Greaves, FOUR! Nicely driven! Yes, it is a full toss but still has to be put away. On off, this is eased through covers and this one races away.
39.3 : 39.3: Josh Hazlewood to Kirk Mckenzie, OUT! EDGED AND TAKEN! Another one bites the dust and this time it is Kirk Mckenzie! He falls right after getting to his half ton. Windies have half the side back in the hut now. Yet again it is Josh Hazlewood who has three to his name. From around the wicket, he angles it into the off pole. It lands and then leaves it batter. Kirk Mckenzie ends up playing inside the line. It goes off the outside edge and the keeper takes it.
41.2 : 41.2: Josh Hazlewood to Justin Greaves, OUT! TAKEN! Number 6 down and Josh Hazlewood has 4. He is running through the middle order here. This is a soft dismissal. It is a full delivery outside off, Justin Greaves reaches out for it. He hits it uppishly to Marnus Labuschagne at covers. He makes no mistake.
43.6 : 43.6: Josh Hazlewood to Alzarri Joseph, Four!
44.3 : 44.3: Pat Cummins to Joshua Da Silva, FOUR! Caressed. Nicely driven. Fuller and just outside off, Joshua Da Silva strokes it past cover. This one races away. Good shot to get off the mark. It will give him confidence.
45.6 : 45.6: Mitchell Starc to Alzarri Joseph, FOUR! Timed well. Pitched up, outside off. Joseph drives it through covers and it runs away to the fence.
46.5 : 46.5: Pat Cummins to Joshua Da Silva, OUT! GONE! Superb catch from Head. Pat Cummins drops it short again and on off. Da Silva tries to pull with soft hands but gets a top edge to deep square leg. Travis Head runs in, dives and takes an excellent catch above the ground. West Indies slip further.
47.6 : 47.6: Mitchell Starc to Gudakesh Motie, OUT! GONE! This is not good enough from these newbie Windies players. This is very full and around off. Motie tries to launch it away but mistimes only in the air and to point where Nathan Lyon takes a dolly. Mitchell Starc gets first of the game. Even 150 looks difficult for West Indies now.
48.2 : 48.2: Pat Cummins to Alzarri Joseph, OUT! EDGED AND GONE! The last known batter goes. On a length and outside off. Joseph punches with hard hands but gets an outside edge to second slip where Steven Smith takes it near his head. Sharp hands from Smith and Joseph has to go.
49.1 : 49.1: Mitchell Starc to Shamar Joseph, FOUR! Flicked away! Mitchell Starc tries the yorker but bowls a bit too straight. Joseph flicks it through mid-wicket for a boundary.
53.2 : 53.2: Josh Hazlewood to Shamar Joseph, FOUR! Clobbered! Back of a length and outside off. Joseph hangs back and heaves it over mid-wicket for a boundary. West Indies one short of 150.
53.3 : 53.3: Josh Hazlewood to Shamar Joseph, FOUR! Two in a row. 150 up as well. Joseph taking the aggressive route. On a length and outside off. Joseph smacks it down past Roach and to long on for four.

60.2 : 60.2: Nathan Lyon to Kemar Roach, SIX! ALL THE WAY! This is incredible to watch. Tossed up, outside off. Roach slog-sweeps it over mid-wicket and it goes all the way. Fielders in the deep but West Indies are not afraid at all.
62.1 : 62.1: Nathan Lyon to Shamar Joseph, OUT! LBW! Joseph has been given out LBW but he reviews it. No bat clearly on this one, confirms Snicko. Ball Tracking shows it is umpire's call on wickets hitting. Out it is! Tossed up on middle and leg, no turn on this one. Joseph prods to defend but misses and gets hit on the pads. It came in the arm but the umpire's call helps Australia to take the last wicket. West Indies are all out for 188.
3.1 : 3.1: Alzarri Joseph to Steven Smith, FOUR! HIT AWAY! First boundary for Smith and Australia. Short of a length and on off. Smith pulls it through mid-wicket for a boundary.
5.5 : 5.5: Alzarri Joseph to Steven Smith, FOUR! Second boundary for Smith and it was similar to the first one. Short and on middle. Smith hangs back and pulls it through mid-wicket for a boundary.
6.1 : 6.1: Kemar Roach to Usman Khawaja, FOUR! Khawaja hits one now. Short ball on off. Khawaja stands tall and pulls it over mid-wicket for a boundary. Gets on top of the bounce so well.
6.5 : 6.5: Kemar Roach to Usman Khawaja, Four!
8.1 : 8.1: Shamar Joseph to Steven Smith, OUT! GONE! Stuff of dreams for Shamar Joseph as he gets Smith. A wicket of Smith on debut! WOW! Shamar Joseph hits the deck hard, length and outside off. Smith as usual steps across to block but gets an outside edge to the left of third slip. Justin Greaves dives forward and takes a sharp catch. 
10.3 : 10.3: Shamar Joseph to Marnus Labuschagne, FOUR! A half-volley on the leg stump and Labuschagne just flicks it with ease through mid-wicket for a boundary.
13.5 : 13.5: Kemar Roach to Usman Khawaja, FOUR! Gloriously driven! Australia have calmed things. Fuller and outside off. Khawaja drives it through covers and it races to the fence.
14.5: Shamar Joseph to Marnus Labuschagne, OUT! TAKEN! Shamar Joseph has done it again! First Smith, now Labuschagne! He is full of energy. Shamar Joseph bowls a short one on middle, Labuschagne tries to pull, doesn't try to keep it down and it takes the top edge and flies to fine leg. Gudakesh Motie tracks back and holds onto it. Well taken. 
16.2 : 16.2: Shamar Joseph to Usman Khawaja, FOUR! Helped away! Bowls it on a length and on leg. Khawaja bunts it past short leg, no protection in the deep and it meets the fence.

22.5 : 22.5: Shamar Joseph to Cameron Green, OUT! EDGED AND TAKEN! Shamar Joseph has done it again, he gets his third. That is the perfect start for the Windies. This is a really good delivery. It angles into the off pole. It is on a length, lands and then leaves the batter. Green looks to defend but it goes off the outside edge and the keeper does the rest. He played for the original trajectory but the movement does him in. Australia in a spot of bother. They still trail by 121.
25.3 : 25.3: Alzarri Joseph to Usman Khawaja, Four!
30.2 : 30.2: Kemar Roach to Travis Head, FOUR! Drilled! That is hammered. This is right where Head likes it, fuller and outside off, he slams it through covers. He hits it really hard.
30.6 : 30.6: Kemar Roach to Travis Head, FOUR! What a shot that is! Wow! A nothing delivery though, shorter and around off, Travis Head rocks back and pulls it past mid-wicket. This one races away to the fence. A good over for the Aussies.

43.3 : 43.3: Kemar Roach to Mitchell Marsh, OUT! It is a clean catch! That is a sharp one by Justin Greaves! The key was, he was nice and slow and that is what you need to be on this slow wicket. On a length and around off, this lands and moves away. Mitchell Marsh looks to push at it but it goes off the outside edge and Justin Greaves who is standing close at third slip takes it nice and low.
44.6 : 44.6: Shamar Joseph to Alex Carey, FOUR! That is gloriously played! This is fuller and outside off, Alex Carey leans into it and drills it through point. This one races away to the fence. It is also a no ball.

66.1 : 66.1: Gudakesh Motie to Travis Head, FOUR! Runs flowing quickly. Tossed up on the pads. Head tickles it down to fine leg for a boundary. 6 runs away from his ton.
67.4 : 67.4: Shamar Joseph to Mitchell Starc, OUT! GONE! Shamar Joseph gets his fourth. Superb bowling from him. Makes Starc uncomfortable with a short ball onto the body. Starc tries to fend it away while he takes his eyes off.

69.4 : 69.4: Shamar Joseph to Travis Head, SIX! Gets the same result. Head will hit this in his sleep as well. Short again, around off, this is pulled over square leg for a biggie. Australia are running away with the lead.

Head tries to heave it across as he opens up his body. He hits it to deep mid-wicket where Kavem Hodge keeps his nerves and takes a brilliant catch to his left. He was very close to the ropes but had clear idea what to do. Superb catch under pressure.
75.5 : 75.5: Justin Greaves to Nathan Lyon, Four!
76.2 : 76.2: Gudakesh Motie to Nathan Lyon, FOUR! Deft touch. Flatter, slower and outside off. Lyon opens the face of the bat and dabs it to the right of slip. The fielder dives but only gets finger-tips on it. It races away to the fence. 
77.6 : 77.6: Justin Greaves to Nathan Lyon,  Lyon is given LBW out but he reviews it straightaway. Was angled in full and on middle and leg, nips in as well. Lyon misses his flick and gets hit on the pads. No bat confirms Snicko. Ball Tracking shows it is clearly missing the leg pole. By a long way.
80.5 : 80.5: Shamar Joseph to Nathan Lyon, SIX! OVER THE FIELDER! Short and onto the body. Lyon pulls it to deep square leg, even Shamar Joseph had his hand spread wide, anticipating that will go in the hands of Roach but Lyon hits it well above him.
80.6 : 80.6: Shamar Joseph to Nathan Lyon, OUT! BOWLED! Five-fer on debut for Joseph. Keep an eye on this young man! He will be the name you will see on the West Indies sheet most often now.

Close to the off pole and Tagenarine Chanderpaul had to play at it. Tries to play a defensive shot but gets a thin outside edge to the keeper. 
3.2 : 3.2: Josh Hazlewood to Kraigg Brathwaite, OUT! Head continues to have a good day on the field. On a length and on middle and leg. Brathwaite with a gentle flick straight to short leg. Travis Head there, gets low and takes it to his left. Was standing well behind so had the time to take it. Australia with a brilliant start.

5.4 : 5.4: Josh Hazlewood to Alick Athanaze, OUT! GONE! No need to review this time. Josh Hazlewood has his third. Poor from Athanaze! This is short and angling on leg. Athanaze goes for the pull but gets some gloves on it before it goes in the keeper's mitts. Looks like Kirk Mckenzie has forced Athanaze to take the review. A big spike on the Snicko as it brushes the gloves.

11.6 : 11.6: Josh Hazlewood to Justin Greaves, FOUR! 9 runs of the over. On a good length and well outside off. Greaves with a solid punch through covers and finds the fence.
13.2 : 13.2: Cameron Green to Kirk Mckenzie, OUT! GONE! Just after the drinks break. The well-set Kirk Mckenzie goes. Pitched up, outside off, it was there to be driven but Kirk Mckenzie does so uppishly, straight in the hands of Marnus Labuschagne at covers. 
14.6 : 14.6: Pat Cummins to Joshua Da Silva, Four!
17.6: Cameron Green to Justin Greaves, FOUR! Welcome boundary! Short of a length and outside off. Greaves gets on the back foot and punches it through point for four.

22.5 : 22.5: Nathan Lyon to Justin Greaves, OUT! LBW! Flatter, slower and on leg. Greaves hangs back to flick but misses and gets hit on the pads. An appeal for LBW but the umpire shakes his head. Maybe pitching outside the line. Australia go for the review. Snicko shows no bat on it. Ball Tracking shows THREE REDS! WOW! That was inside the line and hits the wicket as well. West Indies lose their sixth just before stumps.

30.6 : 30.6: Mitchell Starc to Alzarri Joseph, OUT! EDGED AND GONE! The angle finally does it for Starc. On a length and outside off, angles in from around the wicket. Joseph wasn't too confident if he would play or not. A gentle push on it and it brushes the edge and to the keeper. 
31.3 : 31.3: Josh Hazlewood to Gudakesh Motie, OUT! BOWLED! Josh Hazlewood has five! His consistency is just tremendous. On a length and outside off, it hits the deck and tails in sharply. Moite shoulders arms, only for the ball to hit the top of off.
