Al: "A collapse of 6 for 37? The WI test team would take that!"
8.34pm West Indies suffer a collapse of 6 for 37 in the last five overs, and as a result, will wonder what could have been. At 152 for 2 after 15 overs, and with a set Shai Hope at the crease, Hetmyer in flow, and Russell to come, 200-plus looked like a formality. But plenty of slower balls and some fine execution from Australia means they walk back with the momentum despite the short boundaries around. West Indies will hope that half-centuries from Chase and Hope, and a cameo from Hetmyer, are enough. Join Alex for the 190 chase soon.

Ellis to Joseph, 1 run, pretty full, and just outside off. Joseph jams it down, and the ball trickles to the on side
19.5
2
Ellis to Joseph, 2 runs, on a length, and slightly wide of off. Driven wide of long-off, and they take two. The throw from Green goes to the bowler; who clips the stumps, but not before Motie is in

Ellis to Joseph, no run, slower ball on a full length outside off. He looks to loft but misses, before taking off for a run and being sent back

Ellis to Hetmyer, OUT, you wouldn't have wanted any shorter man in this case. Green, as tall as a mountain, takes a step in the air to take the ball with a reverse cup at long-off. Shorter side of a length from Ellis, who angled it across, and bowled outside off. Hetmyer went thrashing at it with a flat bat, but couldn't get enough power to beat perhaps the tallest man in Jamaica at the moment

Dwarshuis to Holder, OUT, not a hat-trick, but Dwarshuis still gets three in the over. Holder gifts Maxwell a catch at long-on, as the latter takes it with a reverse cup. Slower ball on a length around middle, and Holder almost casually chips it down the ground to also depart without scoring

Dwarshuis to Holder, no run, slower ball on a length on the stumps, and Holder goes back to nudge it back

Dwarshuis to Rutherford, OUT, gone first ball!! Rutherford falls to leave Dwarshuis on a hat-trick. Short delivery getting big on Rutherford just outside off. He goes hooking, but gets it off top half of the bat bat. Abbott, the man at deep-backward square leg, rushes forward to complete the catch
SE Rutherford c Abbott b Dwarshuis 0 (1m 1b 0x4 0x6) SR: 0
Rutherford walks out

Dwarshuis to Russell, OUT, well take by Green! Given his height, he did well to go low while also moving his right from long-off. Dwarshuis bowled this fuller than the previous ball, although the line remained similar - around off or just outside off. Russell looked to loft down the ground, but the ball didn't travel
AD Russell c Green b Dwarshuis 8 (10m 9b 0x4 1x6) SR: 88.88

Dwarshuis to Russell, no run, change of pace, and another dot ball for Russell. This angles across, and lands on a length around fifth stump. Russell looks to hoick to the leg side, but misses

Ellis to Russell, no run, well bowled! He follows up the bouncer with a yorker. The ball is angling across, and pitching just outside off. Russell can only squeeze it out off the bottom of the bat

Ellis to Russell, no run, slower bouncer, and it works. This pitches around sixth stump, and has Russell throwing his bat at it while hopping the crease. But he doesn't connect, and is beaten

Ellis to Hetmyer, FOUR, driven down the ground this time. This is a low full toss on off, as Hetmyer again rams it back from deep in the crease. That nearly took the non-striker, though

Ellis to Hetmyer, FOUR, one bounce, and to the long-off boundary. Hetmyer stands deep in the crease, and reads this length ball angling across to arrive outside off
Ellis replaces Owen.

Abbott to Russell, 2 runs, good running gives Russell two. He looked to launch this fullish and slower ball just outside off, but got it off the toe end of the bat to short third. Zampa there tumbled to his right and parried the ball wide of point

Abbott to Russell, no run, ohh, slower ball from Abbott. He goes full and straight, and Russell pushes it back to the bowler
