5:47pm That will be all from us then. Australia had hoped to have a bite at the opening batters but it was not to be. We will be back again tomorrow as the visitors look to pry open the game, and West Indies look to thwart them. Until then, from Harshith, Ekanth, Raghav and myself, it is goodbye!
For those of you in Australia, New Zealand the Caribbean and US, catch up with all the wickets here:
Beau Webster: (On his batting plan) Trying to keep the straight balls out, and then cashing in (on when they erred). It (the pitch) does a little at the top - credit to the guys (for seeing it out). (On the conditions) The ball swung. A couple of deliveries early really shaped around. A bit of inconsistency (as we saw for the Travis Head wicket), and that can make it tough. That was my gameplan and glad it helped me through. Want to convert one of these half-centuries (eventually) but will take that for now. Probably blame myself a little bit (for not getting to 300 batting with the tail). Hopefully it gets a little tougher to bat on.
5:44pm And, we are back. The players make their way out to the middle - Brathwaite and Campbell to open, but scratch all of that because...they are now walking off. The umpires have the light meter in hand too, and this is a case of the light not being good enough to continue play. That will also be stumps, meaning that West Indies will have no tricky period to navigate tonight, and that they can come in fresh tomorrow.
5:36pm Australia, when they won the toss, would probably have wanted more than 286, but they will be fairly happy getting here, having been reduced to 93-4 earlier in the day. Webster and Carey, like they did in Barbados, performed the rescue act, with both registering half-centuries. Cummins, Lyon and Hazlewood popped up with handy cameos lower down the order too.
Alzarri was the pick of the bowling punch and walked away with four scalps. The others were also good in patches and even though WI would have taken 286 at the start of the day, they will feel they allowed Australia a few extra runs, especially towards the end. This is a tricky pitch, and an even trickier phase awaits the hosts batters in what remains of day one. Can they come through it unscathed? Join us in a bit to find out.

AS Joseph to Lyon, OUT, gloved and taken! Alzarri finishes with a four-wicket haul, and Australia have been bowled out for 286! Banged in short again and this just cramps Lyon a little. He tries to help it on its way but all he manages is a feather off the glove. Smart catch by Hope to his left, and that will be that for Australia with the bat today!
NM Lyon c †Hope b AS Joseph 11 (17b 1x4 0x6) SR: 64.7
WI have gone searching for a wicket and have leaked a few extra runs. This partnership is already worth 19

AS Joseph to Lyon, 2 runs, banged into the track outside off. Lyon gets on top of the bounce and swats it through mid wicket for a couple of runs
66.3
3
AS Joseph to Hazlewood, 3 runs, back of a length outside off. Hazlewood gives himself ample room and slaps it to mid off's left. The outfield is a little sluggish after the rain and Hazlewood has to settle for three

AS Joseph to Hazlewood, no run, length ball just outside off. Hazlewood stays leg side of the ball and jabs it towards extra cover

AS Joseph to Lyon, 1 run, back of a length just outside off. Lyon drops it into the off side and looks at his partner, who responds and completes the single with minimal fuss

S Joseph to Hazlewood, 4 leg byes, four more - this will frustrate the hosts! Back of a length and sliding down leg. Hazlewood does not get bat on it but the ball brushes the pad to trickle away past the keeper!

S Joseph to Hazlewood, no run, another short ball, angling into leg stump. Hazlewood ducks under it this time
65.4

S Joseph to Hazlewood, no run, ouch! Banged into the track on middle and leg. Hazlewood takes his eyes off the ball and tries to take evasive action. Cops a blow on the arm guard
65.3

S Joseph to Lyon, 1 run, shortish just outside off. Lyon picks the length up much better this time and powers a pull straight to deep square leg
65.2

S Joseph to Hazlewood, 1 run, hard length, angling into the pads. Hazlewood uses that angle and glances it down to fine leg

S Joseph to Lyon, 1 run, safe! Dug into the track straightaway, on middle and off stump. Lyon looks for the swivel-pull but top-edges it terribly. Thankfully for him, it does not carry to deep square leg

AS Joseph to Hazlewood, no run, back of a length on middle stump. Hazlewood does not really get behind the line of the ball but does enough to defend into the off side
64.5

AS Joseph to Hazlewood, FOUR, edged and four! Hard length just outside off. Hazlewood has a flat-footed waft at it and gets a thick inside edge that flashes past the stumps and then races away into the fine leg fence!
64.4
0
AS Joseph to Hazlewood, no run, sharp bumper on middle and leg. Hazlewood gauges the length early enough and ducks under it, just in time
64.3
2
AS Joseph to Hazlewood, 2 runs, full just outside off. Hazlewood stays well leg side of the ball before pushing it through the cover region for a couple of runs
64.2
0
AS Joseph to Hazlewood, no run, dug into the track on middle and off. Hazlewood backs away a touch before dabbing it towards backward point
Hazlewood is the last man in. Two slips, a leg slip and a short leg in place as Alzarri goes around the wicket

AS Joseph to Webster, 1 run, OUT, oh dear - that is terrible decision-making, and Webster has been run out! Length ball outside off. Webster drives it on the up towards deep point and calls for two. The second is never on, though, not in a million years and Webster may have realized that while turning as well. But because he had committed so much to the second, he has to try his luck. Carty's throw is accurate enough and Hope is tidy enough to whip off the bails and bring an end to another gritty Beau Webster knock!
BJ Webster run out 60 (115b 6x4 1x6) SR: 52.17
