Australia have 88 minutes to bat tonight. Abhimanyu will step into commentary.

7.54pm Innings break West Indies are all out for 193 with Shamar Joseph retiring hurt. Australia need 216 to win. West Indies might be a bowler down too. It is highly unlikely Shamar Joseph will be able to bowl. He couldn't walk as he came off.

Shannon: "Australian cricket tragic here: I really don't want Aus to win a scintillating test match like this because an opposition bowler broke a toe. That's a very unfortunate injury. "

Tim: "Ahh the old sandshoe crusher. Can confirm, I got one of those in under 16's and man, the bruising and swelling really really hurt. Not broken but couldn't play for games."

Mal: "That's a huge shame, Shamar has been a delightful story in this short series, and WI in general have performed creditably, they deserved to have the best chance to fight for victory, but now they're almost certainly a bowler down."

7.52pm It hit flush on the front of his right foot. His right big toes is split open. He can't walk on it. Having broken a toe like that, I would be surprised if that isn't broken. And Shamar Joseph has retired hurt. The innings ends

Starc to S Joseph, 1 no ball, given lbw! Searing inswinging yorker! Shamar reviews and then checks his toes. But it is a no-ball! Not out. But Shamar Joseph is in a lot of pain. He might have broken a toe or his foot here! He took the shoe and sock off. Travis Head asked him if he was OK and he shook his head
