- BATSMENRB4s6sSR1.6 chipped to midwicket! A mistake from King. Back of a length on middle, it holds in the surface a touch, he tries to work square of midwicket but just chips a catch to the man on the ring. Bartlett strikes 23/13.1 miscued to mid-on! Bartlett has two! Hard length tight to the body on middle, Hope tries to free the arms and muscle it over mid-on but he completely miscues off the sticker of the bat and it carries to Maxwell who takes it diving forward on the circle! 32/24.1 A Maxwell speccy! He reaches up casually to pluck a one-hander at mid-on! Good length, fourth stump, Chase muscles this towards mid-on and looks to have hit it well enough to clear the man on the ring but not enough to beat Maxwell. What superb catch. And he made it look so easy leaping up and casually plucking it like it was nothing 42/36.5 sliced to backward point! Zampa does him with drift! Full again but he drifts it well wide of off, Rutherford lazily drives, not in control, and slices it off a thick edge straight to the man at backward point. Well bowled by Zampa 67/411.1 taken at deep midwicket! Hitting into the wind. Full outside off, Powell tries to fetch it with a mighty heave, goes very high into the leg side and Fraser-McGurk, on as a sub, settles under it 119/69.5 brilliant catch by Owen at deep backward point! Full, angled across, he tries to loft over long-off, it slices high off a thick outside edge behind point, Owen runs in off the rope and dives forward to take an outstanding catch. That is superb fielding again from Australia 110/514.2 oh, wow! Maxwell again. Amazing stuff. This was pulled powerfully straight down the ground, Maxwell sped around at long on, took it just inside the rope, then managed to flick it back before he went over the boundary. Incredible awareness and timing. Good work from Green, too, to track Maxwell 153/718.1 cleaned up! Pushed through quickly, short of a length, Holder goes for the pull, takes a bottom edge into his back pad then into the stumps 194/916.4 taken at midwicket! Keeps it short outside off, Forde tries to drag it over the on side and it just loops to Green inside the ring 184/8Extras14 (lb 6, nb 1, w 7)TOTAL205/9 (20 Overs, RR: 10.25)Fall of wickets: 1-23 (Brandon King, 1.6 ov), 2-32 (Shai Hope, 3.1 ov), 3-42 (Roston Chase, 4.1 ov), 4-67 (Sherfane Rutherford, 6.5 ov), 5-110 (Shimron Hetmyer, 9.5 ov), 6-119 (Rovman Powell, 11.1 ov), 7-153 (Romario Shepherd, 14.2 ov), 8-184 (Matthew Forde, 16.4 ov), 9-194 (Jason Holder, 18.1 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR0.2 given lbw! Marsh walks! 138kph, full length, shaping back into the front pad and it hit him flush infront of leg. Marsh knew he was in trouble. Big scalp first up for Blades! His first T20I wicket! 0/110.1 taken at long on! Maxwell tried to take this from wide outside off, dragging it towards long on, comes from low down on the bat. Nicely bowled by Hosein, made Maxwell fetch it 129/36.1 flicked straight to deep backward square! Inglis is filthy with himself! Low full toss outside leg, hitting with the wind, he flicks it off the toe of the bat too flat and Rutherford on the rope takes the catch 66/211.2 straight to deep cover! Blades strikes. Owen cleared the front foot, looked to send this over cover but could only picked out the sweeper 134/411.4 taken at mid-off! Another one goes. Connolly looking to drive on the up, some pace off from Blades, he's through the shot and it's a simple catch. Very well bowled. 134/516.1 down to long off! Door still open for West Indies? Round the wicket, full toss, looks to loft down the ground and skews it 185/618.5 oh boy, what a way to go! Green nails a powerful straight drive, clips Shepherd's fingers and into the non-striker's stumps. Bartlett is out of his ground 203/7Extras18 (lb 1, nb 1, w 16)TOTAL206/7 (19.2 Overs, RR: 10.65)Fall of wickets: 1-0 (Mitchell Marsh, 0.2 ov), 2-66 (Josh Inglis, 6.1 ov), 3-129 (Glenn Maxwell, 10.1 ov), 4-134 (Mitchell Owen, 11.2 ov), 5-134 (Cooper Connolly, 11.4 ov), 6-185 (Aaron Hardie, 16.1 ov), 7-203 (Xavier Bartlett, 18.5 ov)
