Mitchell Starc to Andre Russell, SIX! This one goes over the ropes but it won't matter as AUSTRALIA HAVE WON THE GAME BY 4 RUNS! This is full and on middle, Russell heaves it over the mid-wicket fence for a biggie. A huge roar of joy from the Australians. Take a bow, Starc, you have defended 10 against one of the biggest hitters in the world. Pretty sure very few would have bet against Russell from getting those runs. The tall left-armer though has rose to the occasion and GIVEN THE AUSSIES THEIR FIRST WIN OF THIS TOUR!

Riley Meredith to Fabian Allen, OUT! EDGED AND TAKEN! An anti-climatic end to the over as Allen has edged one to the keeper. 11 needed then from the final over. A superb hand by Fabian. He has surely done his job. He had to go for another one and he does try to do that. Riley bowls it full and outside off. Allen reaches out for it, it goes off the outside edge and the keeper takes it. A wicket to end but the damage was done earlier on. 25 from it.

Riley Meredith to Fabian Allen, SIX! 4th biggie in the over and just 11 needed now. Riley Meredith has been taken to the cleaners. This is the best one of the lot. Outside off, fuller. This is carved over the point fence for another maximum. Can Allen make it 5 in the over?

Riley Meredith to Fabian Allen, SIX! Make that three in four balls! Just the 17 needed in 8. Have to back the Windies from here. Meredith bowls a slower one but the length is short. Allen has enough time to pick it, he waits and then smashes it over the mid-wicket fence. Meredith under huge, huge pressure. He needs to bowl 2 good deliveries, needs to give Starc at least 14.

Riley Meredith to Fabian Allen, SIX! Allen clears the ropes now and two sixes from the first three balls! The game is well and truly still on. 23 needed in 9. This is a gift, a full toss on off, Allen does not miss out as he heaves it over the long on fence.

18.1
Riley Meredith to Andre Russell, SIX! There is one of them! 5 more needed! This is a tremendous shot. Also, that is one of the flatest sixes seen. A low full toss on middle, this is thumped down to the long on fence, it goes all the way. Riley under pressure now. Perfect start to the penultimate over for the Windies.

Mitchell Starc to Fabian Allen, FOUR! Stand and deliver stuff! He even held the pose for the cameras! What a stroke! This is fuller and on off, Allen stands tall and lifts it elegantly over extra cover for another boundary.

Mitchell Starc to Fabian Allen, FOUR! Off the outside edge and over short third man! This is frustrating for Starc! We have seen quite a few boundaries go in that area during his lowing. A low full toss outside off, Allen goes after it, it goes off the outside edge over short third man for another boundary.

Jason Behrendorff to Andre Russell, SIX! Russell uses all of his muscle to clear the fence there! This is not a bad delivery, it is full and on middle, Russell stays deep in his crease and whips it well over the long on fence for a welcome biggie. Can he now get one more and end the over strongly?

Mitchell Marsh to Lendl Simmons, OUT! TAKEN! Two-in-two and that is career best figures for Marsh! He is also on a hat-trick! Also, this is the wicket Australia needed. It is of the well set Simmons. Now Austraila well and truly on top. 58 needed in 27. This is shorter in length and it is angling into the body, Simmons is cramped for room but tries to pull. It goes more of the higher part this time, it is also against the wind. Moises Henriques at deep mid-wicket runs to his right and takes it. A good innings from Simmons but he needed to stay longer, especially after Pooran fell on the previous ball.

15.2
Mitchell Marsh to Nicholas Pooran, OUT! TAKEN! Marsh is the man for the Aussies. Both, with the ball and the bat. To be honest we here thought this is a gamble as he went for plenty in his last over but he gets the Windies skipper. Clever bowling, he keeps it full and wide outside off, making Pooran reach out for it. NP should have looked to go over the off side but instead tries to go downtown but since he was reaching out for it, it goes off the bottom. It goes towards long off where Christian is placed takes a good catch well inside the ropes.

Adam Zampa to Lendl Simmons, SIX! As long as Simmons is out there, West Indies remain in control! Comes down the track and sends it sailing over the long on fence.

13.6
Mitchell Marsh to Nicholas Pooran, FOUR! 15 from the over and a good one for Windies! Full and wide outside off. Pooran just carves it to the point fence. 68 needed from the last 6.

Mitchell Marsh to Nicholas Pooran, SIX! Mighty blow! Back of a length, outside off. Pooran moves to the off side and hammers it over the wide long on fence.

Riley Meredith to Lendl Simmons, FOUR! Edged and a much-needed boundary for the hosts! Riley Meredith misses his length a touch and bowls a full one, wide outside off. Simmons gets the outside edge as he swings hard it. The ball runs to the third man fence.

Adam Zampa to Andre Fletcher, OUT! BOWLED! No need to go upstairs for that one as Adam Zampa ends Andre Fletcher's struggle! Flatter ball, on off. Fletcher looks to pull it away but the ball once again stays a bit low and sneaks under his bat. It goes and hits the off pole. 93 needed in 57 now!

9.2
Mitchell Marsh to Andre Fletcher, FOUR! Thumped! That is right in the slot for Fletcher! This is full and on middle, it is lofted over the bowler's head for a boundary. This should probably get him going now.

7.2
Mitchell Marsh to Chris Gayle, OUT! TAKEN! That is some take by Jason Behrendorff! Wow! Gayle does not last for long this time and Marsh comes on and strikes. He did it with the bat and now gets the big man. He bowls it full and wide outside off. Gayle looks to drag it over long on and hence, does not get the desired connection. It goes flat towards the fielder there who leaps, sticks both hands upwards and takes a stunner. Australia need to keep picking wickets if they are to win this game.

Riley Meredith to Lendl Simmons, FOUR! This is outstanding stuff from Simmons! Just brilliant! This is quite wide outside off. Simmons still manages to move there and scoop it over the square leg fielder for another boundary.

6.2
Riley Meredith to Lendl Simmons, FOUR! That is not good bolwing! Especially with no fine leg. Simmons gets into position early to play the paddle scoop. Riley bowls a low full toss on the pads, it is worked fine on the leg side for a boundary.

5.6
Mitchell Starc to Lendl Simmons, FOUR! Zampa lets it through and the extra ball has cost Starc and Australia! 13 from the final over of the Powerplay and it has been West Indies who are cruising along. They are 75 for 1 and need only 115 now in 84. A yorker on off, Simmons looks to jam it out, it goes off the inside edge towards Zampa at short fine leg. He dives over it and it races away to the fence. Starc is not happy and rightly so.

Mitchell Starc to Lendl Simmons, FOUR! Straight down the ground! This was right in the slot! Full and on middle, Simmons powers it down the ground for yet another boundary.

Mitchell Starc to Lendl Simmons, EDGY FOUR! West Indies won't care! This is full and on middle, Simmons looks to jam it out, it was a yorker actually. It goes off the outside edge past short third man for a boundary.

Adam Zampa to Evin Lewis, OUT! TIMBER! First wicket for Zampa in the series and what a time to get it! A quicker ball, on off. Lewis looks to cut it away by backing away to the leg side but gets no bat on it. The ball clips the off pole and the Aussies get their first wicket!
