5:47pm That will be all from us then. Australia had hoped to have a bite at the opening batters but it was not to be. We will be back again tomorrow as the visitors look to pry open the game, and West Indies look to thwart them. Until then, from Harshith, Ekanth, Raghav and myself, it is goodbye!
For those of you in Australia, New Zealand the Caribbean and US, catch up with all the wickets here:
Beau Webster: (On his batting plan) Trying to keep the straight balls out, and then cashing in (on when they erred). It (the pitch) does a little at the top - credit to the guys (for seeing it out). (On the conditions) The ball swung. A couple of deliveries early really shaped around. A bit of inconsistency (as we saw for the Travis Head wicket), and that can make it tough. That was my gameplan and glad it helped me through. Want to convert one of these half-centuries (eventually) but will take that for now. Probably blame myself a little bit (for not getting to 300 batting with the tail). Hopefully it gets a little tougher to bat on.
5:44pm And, we are back. The players make their way out to the middle - Brathwaite and Campbell to open, but scratch all of that because...they are now walking off. The umpires have the light meter in hand too, and this is a case of the light not being good enough to continue play. That will also be stumps, meaning that West Indies will have no tricky period to navigate tonight, and that they can come in fresh tomorrow.
5:36pm Australia, when they won the toss, would probably have wanted more than 286, but they will be fairly happy getting here, having been reduced to 93-4 earlier in the day. Webster and Carey, like they did in Barbados, performed the rescue act, with both registering half-centuries. Cummins, Lyon and Hazlewood popped up with handy cameos lower down the order too.
Alzarri was the pick of the bowling punch and walked away with four scalps. The others were also good in patches and even though WI would have taken 286 at the start of the day, they will feel they allowed Australia a few extra runs, especially towards the end. This is a tricky pitch, and an even trickier phase awaits the hosts batters in what remains of day one. Can they come through it unscathed? Join us in a bit to find out.
NM Lyon c †Hope b AS Joseph 11 (17b 1x4 0x6) SR: 64.7
WI have gone searching for a wicket and have leaked a few extra runs. This partnership is already worth 19
