11:05am Australia need 26 to win and go 1-0 up. Not a lot of resistance this morning from West Indies. Hazlewood completed his five-for but will have to wait longer for a match haul of ten wickets. Starc struck twice - getting Da Silva out hooking and then Alzarri Joseph caught behind - before that.

Usman Khawaja and Steven Smith have rushed out to get their batting pads on. A ten-minute turnaround time, do hang on for the last rites.

Mal: "Who has the most career wickets without a ten-for?" Bob Willis, Hazlewood placed seventh
