| 6.2 : 6.2: Justin Greaves to Steven Smith, FOUR! Good shot! Short of a length and outside off. Smith quickly moves across and pulls it through square leg for four. |
| 8.2: Justin Greaves to Steven Smith, Four! |
| 10.2: Justin Greaves to Marnus Labuschagne, OUT! GONE! Labuschagne goes. West Indies hanging in there. Short of a length and angling on off. Labuschagne had to play at it, tries to defend but outside edges it to the right of third slip. Kevin Sinclair dives and makes no mistake. |
| 25.6 : 25.6: Kemar Roach to Cameron Green, FOUR! Clipped away. That will give Green some confidence. On the pads, he clips it past square leg. This races away. |
| 27.4 : 27.4: Alzarri Joseph to Steven Smith, FOUR! Edged but finds the gap. Good length and around off. Smith looks to defend, this goes off the outside edge between gully and first slip and to the third man fence. |
| 28.4: Shamar Joseph to Cameron Green, FOUR! Off the outside edge but safe. Shorter and outside off. Green slashes but this flies off the outside edge. Over everyone and down to the third man fence. |
| 28.5 : 28.5: Shamar Joseph to Cameron Green, FOUR MORE! Runs flowing now. Fuller and on off, Green leans into it and strokes it down to the long off fence. Boundary. |

| 30.5 : 30.5: Shamar Joseph to Cameron Green, OUT! TIMBER! Joseph strikes. He gets rid of Green. The wicket has come probably later the Windies would have wanted this morning but it has. They'll hope this opens the floodgates now. 103 more needed. This is a brute of a delivery. Good length and around off, it jags back in and there is also some extra bounce. Green looks to defend. It hits the elbow and then onto the stumps. |
| 30.6 : 30.6: Shamar Joseph to Travis Head, OUT! TIMBER! Two in two for Joseph and Windies back into this one. This is a corker of a yorker. Joseph goes full and on off, Head looks to jam it out but misses and it hits the off pole. Too good for any batter that delivery, especially on the very first ball he faces. |
| 31.5 : 31.5: Justin Greaves to Mitchell Marsh, FOUR! Pulled away! Not the length you want to bowl to Marsh and he is off the mark in style. Shorter and on middle, this is pulled past square leg and it races away. |
| 34.2 : 34.2: Shamar Joseph to Mitchell Marsh, FOUR! Cut away. An hour of Marsh and this game will end quickly. Shorter and outside off, this is flayed past point and this one races away to the fence. |

| 37.6 : 37.6: Alzarri Joseph to Mitchell Starc, Four! |
| 37.6: Alzarri Joseph to Mitchell Starc, FOUR! Drilled down the ground. Fuller and on middle, this is drilled down the ground and to the long on fence. Starc fighting fire with fire here. it is also a NO BALL! |

| 39.5 : 39.5: Alzarri Joseph to Steven Smith, Four! |
| 40.2 : 40.2: Shamar Joseph to Mitchell Starc, FOUR! Stand and deliver. Starc is not holding back. On middle, he slams it past mid on and this one races away. |
| 40.5 : 40.5: Shamar Joseph to Mitchell Starc, OUT! c Kevin Sinclair b Shamar Joseph. |
| 42.3 : 42.3: Shamar Joseph to Pat Cummins, OUT! EDGED AND TAKEN! Australia 8 down and Windies surely favourites now. The hosts need over 40. Shamar Joseph has 6. What a spell. Magical. This catch too is excellent. On a good length and around off, it lands and moves away. Cummins looks to defend but it goes off the outside edge and the keeper dives to his right and takes it. |
| 47.3: Alzarri Joseph to Nathan Lyon, FOUR! Crucial runs. A full toss, angling on middle, Lyon just helps it on its way to fine leg for a boundary. |
| 47.6 : 47.6: Alzarri Joseph to Nathan Lyon, OUT! EDGED AND GONE! Lyon goes. West Indies one wicket away now. WOW! Scenes at the Gabba! On a length and outside off, steep bounce on this one. Lyon looks to pull but bottom edges it to the keeper who makes no mistake. West Indies appeal but Lyon was already walking back. |
| 48.1 : 48.1: Shamar Joseph to Steven Smith, FOUR! SHOT! Short of a length and on off. Smith pulls it through mid-wicket and it races to the fence. Steven Smith has to keep the strike now. |
| 49.1: Alzarri Joseph to Steven Smith, SIX! ALL THE WAY! This is not the Smith we see most often! Very rare! On a length and around off. Smith shuffles across and scoops it over fine leg for a biggie. Australia need 14 runs to win. Steven Smith is on 87. |
| 50.5 : 50.5: Shamar Joseph to Josh Hazlewood, OUT! BOWLED! UNBELIEVABLE! MADNESS! JOSEPH HAS DONE IT! On a length and around off from around the wicket. Josh Hazlewood gets on the front foot to defend but misses and it goes past his edge and hits the stumps. OFF POLE IS GONE. WINDIES WIN BY 8 RUNS. |
