END OF OVER:

  • Spencer Johnson4-0-49-1
  • Adam Zampa4-0-65-1

Phew, that was some innings (and comeback) from West Indies. Superb batting from Rutherford and Russell. They have a hefty total to defend. That was the best sixth-wicket partnership even in T20Is. Xavier Bartlett started well on debut but there was some punishment for the bowlers later on, especially Zampa and Hardie.

Shariq: "If you check the timeline now, SA scored 220/6 in 89 overs, while WI scored 220/6 in 20 overs, perfect example of how each format of cricket is different."

Australia have plenty of batting power themselves, but this will be a huge task for them. Alex will be with you in a few minutes for the start of the chase.

Johnson to Russell, OUT, gone this time...comes from low down on the bat as he looks for another six down the ground and, for once, he doesn't have the power. Fantastic innings.
