Mitchell Starc to Tagenarine Chanderpaul, OUT! CHOPPED ON! The change of angle has worked for Mitchell Starc! This is short of a length and around off, cramping the batter up. Tagenarine Chanderpaul gets pegged on the back foot and looks to cut from close to the body.

The third umpire checks it just to confirm if Starc's back leg wasn't outside the tramline when he delivered the ball and everything seems fine. Australia finally have the breakthrough and it will be interesting now as to how the Windies react.

Travis Head to Alzarri Joseph, OUT! BOWLED! This time he is gone and finally, Australia manage to break this partnership! What an inspired bowling change by Cummins. This is bowled quicker and flatter on off. Joseph tries to defend it and plays for a turn. However, it is again the natural variation of the off-spinner that does the trick as the ball goes straight and beats the outside edge of Joseph's blade. The ball goes onto knock over the stumps and can Australia wrap this match quickly now?

Nathan Lyon to Roston Chase, OUT! TAKEN! Nathan Lyon has the last laugh here and picks up a brilliant five-wicket haul. Lyon gioves it a bit more air and shortens the length ever so slightly on middle and leg. Roston Chase looks to just heave it aerially and in front of mid-wicket but gets undone in flight and ends up playing it off the inner half of the bat and much squarer. Mitchell Starc from deep mid-wicket rushes in and dives forward to take a good low catch. End of a fighting knock from Chase and Australia are onje wicket away from victory.
W
110.5
