Australia win by three wickets and take a 4-0 lead in the series. Tighter than the last match, but always felt like they were in control of the chase despite the efforts of Jediah Blades. Josh Inglis' fifty did the early work in the chase then Glenn Maxwell cut loose. Cameron Green played very well to see things home as a wickets fell around him. West Indies pay the price for none of the top order converting into a 60, 70 or 80. Will bring you the presentation shortly.

Glenn Maxwell is Player of the Match for his fielding and top-order runs: "I spoke to Andrew McDonald and said whatever role you need me to play, wherever I need to fit in for this team to get some knowledge on how our boys are going to set up over the next little period. He was really happy with that. Together with Mitch Marsh, we've obviously come up with a plan just to give some guys some different roles through the middle and see how they adapt. I put a lot of emphasis on my fielding. I think it's one of the things that I've always held a high regard for in the way I prepare for any series, any team that I'm playing for. To make sure that I'm adding something different to the team, regardless of whether I'm batting or bowling, is, I think, one of the most important things."

Shai Hope "We understand how difficult it is to defend a score here. The way the Aussies have been batting, I think we need a little bit more runs to cushion our bowling performances. But maybe we didn't assess as well as we could have. That's something that we still need to look at going into the last game." [On the fielding] "We always understand or we kind of neglect the importance of strong fielding performances, especially when the ball is flying all over the place. You've got to ensure that you're putting your body on the line, taking those crucial chances because that can be the deciding factor of who wins and who loses. So it's something that we may have let ourselves down in a sense. But the reality is fielding is very important in cricket games, especially close ones when you have to give yourself a chance of winning."

Mitchell Marsh "I think it was an all-round really good effort. To take a few early wickets, we know teams like the West Indies are going, with how deep they bat, we knew that they're going to come hard the whole innings, which they did. But, I thought the way we were able to, I guess, navigate some tricky overs and keep taking wickets, I sort of feel 230 is probably par on that. I thought it was an outstanding effort with the ball."

That will wrap things up for today. Thanks for being with us. We'll be back for the final match of the series (and tour) on Monday/Tuesday in Australia. Until then, from Gnasher and Alex, it's goodbye.
