- BATSMENRB4s6sSR11.1 Phillip pitches it up and has Konstas out driving. Fullish ball around sixth, Konstas' front foot was around off despite the small stride across, he reached with his hands and committed to it. Didn't get enough reach and feathered it to the keeper. Both change bowlers strike just before drinks. 47/210.3 That looks out, given! Australia review. Lot of swing in. Length ball on fourth delivered from close to the stumps. It came in to beat the full-faced block. Both feet were inside the crease and it hit him top of the pad. Impact on middle, clipping the top of the stumps. Khawaja has to walk back. 47/122.6 edged and taken this time! Campbell breathes a sigh of relief, and Seales lets out a massive celebratory cry! This is on a length outside off, shaping away beautifully and shaping away very late. Green after an hour's toil, cannot resist the temptation and goes chasing at it. Gets a thick outside edge and Chase, stationed at gully, makes no mistake whatsoever. What an over on the stroke of lunch, and that will indeed be the end of this riveting first session! 93/412.5 catch it is the cry, and catch it is what Anderson Phillip does! Alzarri takes out the big fish, and Smith's return to the fold is not as fruitful as he or Australia would have liked! Dug into the track outside off and Smith's eyes light up. He shapes up to swipe it over mid wicket but the ball seems to just hold in the surface enough. Through the shot early and the ball skews up off the top edge. Phillip settles under it at fine leg, keeps his eyes on the ball the entire time and takes it smartly in front of his face. Smith shakes his head in disappointment and West Indies, just like that, have three wickets in very quick succession! 50/326.3 Brute of a ball, one-handed catch. Looked clean, Richard Kettleborough will send it upstairs just to confirm. Length ball on fourth bounced extra and shaped away, Head was shaping to push it square of the wicket with an angled bat. It hit him on the handle, bottom hand came right off and he grunted in pain. The ball landed on the flap of Hope's gloves and bounced in the palms. Nitin Menon says the fingers were under the ball, gives it out. 110/564.1 oh dear - that is terrible decision-making, and Webster has been run out! Length ball outside off. Webster drives it on the up towards deep point and calls for two. The second is never on, though, not in a million years and Webster may have realized that while turning as well. But because he had committed so much to the second, he has to try his luck. Carty's throw is accurate enough and Hope is tidy enough to whip off the bails and bring an end to another gritty Beau Webster knock! 267/951.2 Pulled straight to catching midwicket! Somewhat soft. Just 126ks back of length ball sponged up over middle, around waist height. The height was what did Carey in, he couldn't extend his elbows and the ball went off the sticker. Brathwaite takes it to the right, around his chest. Carey went 'oh' and tucked his bat under his armpit right after hitting it 222/656.4 Low bounce and it deflects off Cummins' pad onto the stumps. Short of a length, sharp angle in, Cummins showed all three stumps and was shaping to duck. Instead, he had to jump and get his hands low to try and jam it out. Cummins' pad came in the way as the bat came down too. Alzarri can't contain his laugh. Greaves, in the background at first slip, was more flustered though given this is still a day-one pitch. 247/759.1 Starc can't check his shot in time and edges to the keeper. 138ks, fullish around the wicket. Fourth-stump line, Starc looked to punch it towards cover, was too early into it and by the time he realised it wasn't there, it was too late 256/866.5 gloved and taken! Alzarri finishes with a four-wicket haul, and Australia have been bowled out for 286! Banged in short again and this just cramps Lyon a little. He tries to help it on its way but all he manages is a feather off the glove. Smart catch by Hope to his left, and that will be that for Australia with the bat today! 286/10Extras20 (b 4, lb 13, nb 3)TOTAL286 all out (66.5 Overs, RR: 4.27)Fall of wickets: 1-47 (Usman Khawaja, 10.3 ov), 2-47 (Sam Konstas, 11.1 ov), 3-50 (Steven Smith, 12.5 ov), 4-93 (Cameron Green, 22.6 ov), 5-110 (Travis Head, 26.3 ov), 6-222 (Alex Carey, 51.2 ov), 7-247 (Pat Cummins, 56.4 ov), 8-256 (Mitchell Starc, 59.1 ov), 9-267 (Beau Webster, 64.1 ov), 10-286 (Nathan Lyon, 66.5 ov)
