- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR4.6 done him! Terrific from McCoy. It's another slower one, a cutter at 119kph, full at off stump, Wade moving well outside leg stump and then misses his booming swing 41/111.5 skier goes a mile high to deep midwicket and a ricochet off Bravo results in an acrobatic, and very alert, catch by Allen on the rebound! This was a classic leggie's wicket off the bat. Flighted loopy and full on sixth stump to tempt Finch into an almighty slog sweep, but the extra bounce results in a skier swirling over wide long-on. Bravo ranged 25 yards to his right and was in position for the take but may have slightly been distracted by Allen coming across in his eyeline from deep midwicket. Bravo bobbles the chest high chance five yards inside the rope and on the second attempt pokes the ball off his hand forward toward Allen, who never took his eye off the ball trailing Bravo and was very alert to dive forward and take the ball on the rebound. 80/48.3 big appeal and given! Marsh went a long way across his crease then brought out the sweep, a very full delivery, he certainly looked in front of all three 58/211.1 what a series Walsh Jr is having! Flights this very very full on middle to tempt Carey into a booming lofted drive. Carey created room backing away from leg in order to try to clear extra cover, but instead smacks this flat to the man on the ring who clasps this above his head after a bunny hop to get airborne. 79/319.3 shin height full toss on off stump, Henriques tries to heave this over midwicket but it comes too low off the bat nearer the toe and is hitting into the wind as well, doesn't get the distance and Allen comes in off the deep midwicket rope 10 yards to take this catch lunging forward at ankle height. Not nearly as dramatic as the rebound effort off of Bravo's hands earlier in the same spot but still a sharp take nonetheless. 139/519.6 a Champion runout! Yorker on off stump dug out back to Bravo who knifes this out of the air one-handed. Christian was running on anything off the last ball but Turner just watches Bravo start dancing and taunting him to come run to the non-striker's end before Bravo finally ends the suspense by punching the stumps with the ball in his right hand to effect the wicket. Athletic work to intercept the ball in his follow-through before finishing the job at the non-striker's stumps. 141/6Extras8 (lb 1, w 7)TOTAL141/6 (20 Overs, RR: 7.05)Fall of wickets: 1-41 (Matthew Wade, 4.6 ov), 2-58 (Mitchell Marsh, 8.3 ov), 3-79 (Alex Carey, 11.1 ov), 4-80 (Aaron Finch, 11.5 ov), 5-139 (Moises Henriques, 19.3 ov), 6-141 (Ashton Turner, 19.6 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR0.3 taken at midwicket! Back on a good length at off stump, Fletcher trying to force it away, the bat face closes and provides a simple catch 4/15.1 finds deep point! Back of a length, Simmons carves it over the off side but could barely have picked out the fielder any better 42/211.6 Meredith ends the carnage with a slower ball at 123 kph! Short on fifth stump, Gayle struggled to keep his hands back with the lack of pace and tried to muscle it over mid-on rather than accessing the off side with the width on offer, winds up knuckling a thick edge that floats to Wade at head height. Gayle gets a hug from Pooran before walking off, and then another hug from Bravo who is on his way to the crease as the whole West Indies bench rises to give him a standing ovation. 109/314.1 tremendous catch by Zampa backpedaling at short third man! Short ball on fifth stump, Bravo tries to whack this over cover but skies a chance over the ring instead. Zampa is tangled up in knots initially trying to locate this going back from the ring and finally decides to attempt an over the shoulder catch with his body facing the boundary. It was theatrical as he almost overran the ball but he reaches out in front of his body and holds on in the end while collapsing to the turf. 124/4Extras10 (lb 4, nb 1, w 5)TOTAL142/4 (14.5 Overs, RR: 9.57)Fall of wickets: 1-4 (Andre Fletcher, 0.3 ov), 2-42 (Lendl Simmons, 5.1 ov), 3-109 (Chris Gayle, 11.6 ov), 4-124 (Dwayne Bravo, 14.1 ov)
