5.55 pm Starc ends with 11 wickets in three matches in this ODI series. Another sharp spell from him but really Hazlewood was the bowler of the innings. 8-1-18-2 does not truly tell the story of how often he beat the edge and on another day he would've taken at least twice as many wickets. The spinners played their part as well. No weak links in the Australia attack today.

Australia's batting lineup may have their hands full with Hosein and Walsh Jr on another pitch offering plenty of assistance to the bowlers but the visitors should still be heavy favorites to chase this down and claim another 10 points on the World Cup Super League points table. Stay with us for the start of the chase in due time.

Starc to Cottrell, OUT, Starc was searching for a yorker but spears in a full toss at knee height on off stump at 142 kph. In truth it was a poor delivery but Cottrell shows what a tailender he is with an even worse attempt to stab it out. Flails at this while hopping away from the stumps and off stump is ripped out of the ground. The ball makes contact with the turf only after clanging into the timber.

SS Cottrell b Starc 0 (20m 12b 0x4 0x6) SR: 0.00

David Patterson: "Do West Indies already have enough?" No. There is some assistance for the bowlers but not nearly as much as the scorecard currently indicates.

Starc comes around the stumps to Cottrell, who is on strike after that six from Lewis to end the over. Silver lining for Australia.
