- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR5.3 edged behind! Hazlewood hits back. Short of a length, followed Simmons and cramped him for room, tries to angle it down to third man but can only get a top edge to the keeper 44/22.4 gives himself room and is bowled! It's an excellent arm ball. Fletcher moving outside leg stump to open the off side, then playing with a horizontal bat and misses. Agar is on target 13/17.4 chopped on! Another inside edge and doesn't get away with this one. Full outside off, Gayle aiming quite square through the off side without much footwork and his problems continue 59/317.5 full and very wide, tries another heave over the leg side and misses. Bravo is ready to scamper a bye but Hetmyer is very late responding and Wade's relay to Hazlewood is early enough for Hazlewood to have time for an underhand flick into the stumps from five yards out. In truth he could have run to the stumps and taken the bails off with ball in hand. 162/4Extras12 (lb 4, nb 2, w 6)TOTAL196/4 (20 Overs, RR: 9.8)Fall of wickets: 1-13 (Andre Fletcher, 2.4 ov), 2-44 (Lendl Simmons, 5.3 ov), 3-59 (Chris Gayle, 7.4 ov), 4-162 (Shimron Hetmyer, 17.5 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR0.2 terrific catch at mid-on! It's that man Russell. Short of a length outside off, Wade went for the pull but got it straighter than he wanted. Russell moves swiftly to his right and holds a good one 0/13.1 cleaned up! A full toss, Edwards rolled his fingers across the ball to take pace off, cannons into the pads and back into the stumps. Perhaps not exactly how Edwards would have played, but he won't care. Finch was certainly defeated by the change of pace 19/213.2 good length ball on fourth stump, Marsh tries to back away for a tennis racquet backhand over long-off. But Bravo is tracking this along the rope and reaches above his head with a bunny hop moving right to take this in stride after a 15-yard saunter to cover the distance. He looked old on that dropped chance at short third man earlier but still had enough youthful energy in his legs to get to this chance much better. 101/47.5 through him! Walsh in the action again. Was still on the shorter side, Philippe went back and then just missed, really. Didn't straighten a little, but poor stroke 58/315.2 flighted on a good length on fourth stump, slogs this flat to deep midwicket. Allen ranges 10 yards left and 10 yards inside the rope to settle on his knees for a thigh high take. Walsh Jr has three for the second night in a row. 112/614.6 full on sixth stump, McDermott shuffles across and tries to heave this straight down the ground but can't get underneath this enough and skies a simple catch to Bravo at long-on jogging to his right three yards inside the rope, calling off Fletcher running left from deep midwicket for a basic take at chest height. 111/517.1 yorker pitches well outside leg stump and ricochets off Christian's pads on a failed charging heave before clattering into the stumps. Last rites not far away. 124/815.4 short on the stumps, slaps this into midwicket for a suicide run. Christian takes off and Agar does not. Relay from Simmons in the ring goes to Pooran with both men at the same end. Agar actually drifted out of his crease and Christian had marginally crossed past him to be inside the ground at the non-striker's end when the bails came off. It's being referred to the third umpire to determine which of the two should be back in the pavilion but on first glance Agar looks to be the one out. And that is finally confirmed after a few-minute delay. 113/718.5 good length angled across fourth stump, Zampa shovels this straight to backward point. Akeal Hosein on as a sub takes it at waist height reaching to his right on the ring. Cottrell is so bored by the lack of drama with seven balls to go that he doesn't bother breaking out his patented military salute wicket celebration. West Indies are romping to victory. 134/919.2 the Universe Boss takes the final wicket. Full on the stumps, Hazlewood backs away for a big slog and misses. The stumps are rattled. Gayle with a very earthly non-celebration after the ball hits the timber to cement victory. 140/10Extras16 (b 4, lb 2, w 10)TOTAL140 all out (19.2 Overs, RR: 7.24)Fall of wickets: 1-0 (Matthew Wade, 0.2 ov), 2-19 (Aaron Finch, 3.1 ov), 3-58 (Josh Philippe, 7.5 ov), 4-101 (Mitchell Marsh, 13.2 ov), 5-111 (Ben McDermott, 14.6 ov), 6-112 (Moises Henriques, 15.2 ov), 7-113 (Ashton Agar, 15.4 ov), 8-124 (Dan Christian, 17.1 ov), 9-134 (Adam Zampa, 18.5 ov), 10-140 (Josh Hazlewood, 19.2 ov)
