Obed McCoy to Josh Hazlewood, OUT! CAUGHT! Obed McCoy, TAKE A BOW! What a spell he has had with the ball today. He gets his fourth and the final wicket of the game. Serves it a touch short, outside off. Josh Hazlewood looks to poke at it. The ball though takes the outside edge and flies to the left of Nicholas Pooran, who collects the ball with ease and starts the celebrations for the West Indies side. They take an important 1-0 lead in the series. WEST INDIES WIN BY 18 RUNS!

Obed McCoy to Mitchell Starc, OUT! CAUGHT! What a game we are having. A great start to the series. West Indies are running riot at the moment. Obed McCoy gets his third of the day. He has been the game-changer for the Men in Maroon. Serves a slower ball again. On a length, on off. Starc looks to get under it and decides to go big. The ball though does not get the distance that was needed on it, as it goes towards deep mid-wicket. Fabian Allen coves a lot of ground to his left, as he is coming in from the mid-wicket region. He takes a superb running catch. The West Indies only need one more wicket to end things for the Aussies!

Hayden Walsh to Dan Christian, OUT! CAUGHT! Maybe, just maybe we are witnessing a tilt here. The Australians had a firm grip on the match, but now it looks like they are in trouble. Hayden Walsh gets his third wicket. Loopy ball, on off. Dan Christian uses his feet and lifts it towards the long on region. Loud shouts for the catch and Dwayne Bravo comes chasing in and takes a sharp catch in the deep.

Obed McCoy to Ashton Agar, OUT! CAUGHT AND BOWLED! Obed McCoy gets his second and he displays his reflexes for everybody to see. The slower delivery does the trick for the big man. Keeps it full and on leg. Agar looks to work it to the leg side but gets a leading edge and the ball goes back towards the bowler really slowly. Obed McCoy does a forward roll as the momentum of the catch makes him do it and pouches this. Brilliant from the big man.

Hayden Walsh to Mitchell Marsh, OUT! CAUGHT AND BOWLED! Soft dismissal and Walsh gets the big wicket of Marsh. Tried to go hard at this but with his bat face turning, it turned out to be an easy return catch for Walsh. Tossed up, around off, Mitchell Marsh looks to hit this one hard, but only manages to chip it to the right of Hayden Walsh, who moves that side and takes the return catch. 29 needed in 45 balls.

Hayden Walsh to Ben McDermott, OUT! BOWLED 'EM! Walsh gets the wicket and half the Australian side is back into the shed. It is a timely wicket and Ben goes back for just 2. Hayden Walsh bowls a flatter googly around middle, Ben McDermott goes back and looks to slash this one away to the off side but misses. The ball goes through and clips the middle stump. 38 needed in 57 balls.

Dwayne Bravo to Mitchell Marsh, FOUR! THUMPED! A length ball, outside off, moving away. Marsh stays back and cuts it through the cover region. Shimron Hetmyer covers a lot of ground to his right but is unable to stop the ball in the deep. The ball ends up in the boundary.

Fabian Allen to Moises Henriques, OUT! CAUGHT! Fabian Allen gets his second and Moises Henriques goes back after a cameo. He was looking good in the middle, his intent was to chase every ball, which did not end up in his favour! Looped up, outside off. Moises Henriques looks to push it to the off side but only manages to get an outside edge. The ball flies towards Dwayne Bravo at point, who takes the simplest of catches. Four down now the Australians.

Fabian Allen to Mitchell Marsh, SIX! Mitchell Marsh is not holding back and he has made his intentions clear. Floated on off, Marsh stays back and pulls it over the square leg fence for a maximum. The ball ends up in the stands, which means we lose another ball.

Obed McCoy to Josh Philippe, OUT! CAUGHT! Obed McCoy strikes on his first delivery. Josh Philippe heads back to the shed for just a run. Great stuff from the speedster. Serves a length ball, on off. Josh Philippe chips it towards Dwayne Bravo, who is stationed at mid on, who takes an easy catch to get rid of the batsman. This is not looking good for Australia.

Dwayne Bravo to Mitchell Marsh, FOUR! 50 up for Australia and Marsh does not miss out on this delivery. Outside off, length ball, Mitchell Marsh frees his arms and spanks this one to the deep point fence, for a boundary.

Andre Russell to Matthew Wade, OUT! CAUGHT! Wade was looking very good but he gifts his wicket away here. The ball was a smart one, keeping in mind that the only fielder in the deep, in the off side, was Hetmyer at deep point. Short and wide outside off, enticing Matthew Wade to go for the big shot. He obliges and punches this one aerially towards deep point and Shimron Hetmyer has an easy take in the deep. 100 needed in 96 balls.

Andre Russell to Matthew Wade, SIX! Second six of the over. Taking advantage of the Powerplay, is Wade! Another short ball, again on the bodyline, not too short though. Matthew Wade swivels and deposits the ball over fine leg now.

Andre Russell to Matthew Wade, SIX! Goes all the way there! Was hit against the wind, but still had enough power to go all the way! A short ball, on the bodyline, Matthew Wade hooks this one over the deep square leg fence for a maximum.

Fidel Edwards to Matthew Wade, SIX! BOOM! That is out of the park. Connected so well with his shot, did Wade. A smile on his face too. Not too many times that you see a batter smack a six out of the park in West Indies, and the batsman concerned was not West Indian. Around off, on a good length, Matthew Wade stands tall and smokes this one all the way over deep mid-wicket.

Fidel Edwards to Matthew Wade, TOP EDGE AND FOUR! Wade gets a streaky boundary now. A short ball, around off and middle, Matthew Wade looks to pull but the ball takes the glove and goes over the keeper, and into the ropes.

Fabian Allen to Mitchell Marsh, FOUR! Good end to the over for Australia as Marsh gets a boundary. On a shortish length, outside off, slashed away through point. 8 runs and a wicket for Allen to begin his spell!

Fabian Allen to Aaron Finch, OUT! TAKEN! Allen strikes in his very first ball and the Australian skipper goes back for a low score. A good catch too, at the edge of the inner circle and Allen brings out his unique celebration. Tossed up, around off, Aaron Finch slams this one to the cover region. Evin Lewis is the man there, who takes this one nicely. First one down for the Aussies!
