Australia have piled up a big total. Overall a very good innings. Was set up by David Warner and Josh Inglis then Tim David helped finish it off after a bit of a middle-order wobble. West Indies weren't great in the first 10 overs but pulled it back a bit before Australia went again. Still, this is a good pitch with some short boundaries - and the wind to help in one direction. Could be a good chase. You'd think Australia's attack will have learnt from the first innings. Alex will be with you shortly

Russell to Zampa, FOUR, finishes with a boundary...no hat-trick. Gets the line wrong, into the pads, and Zampa flicks wide of short fine leg

So David will only face one ball of the last over. The new rule does make a difference

Russell to Abbott, OUT, through him! Super delivery. Gets the yorker in and Abbott plays over it

Russell to Wade, OUT, finds deep midwicket. Short of a length, Wade pulls and can't quite get it over the fielder. Pace off works again

Super innings from David

Joseph to David, FOUR, all the way again! Full, angling into the pads, flicks this towards long leg where it hits the boundary marker on the full. Actually, this will be changed, it pitches just before the rope so will be four

West Indies behind the over rate so will need an extra fielder in the ring for the last

Shepherd to David, SIX, a skimmer! Barely gets off the ground. It's a low full toss and he uses immense power in the wrists to flick it flat over deep square

Holder to David, FOUR, a slower short ball, David waits a fraction and pulls it backward of square

Motown: "@Khalid - I would throw Holder into that equation too. I don't think he's guaranteed a place, and Shepherd is such a dangerous hitter."
