END OF OVER:
20 | 14 Runs 1 Wkt | WI: 157/7 | RR: 7.85

  • Andre Russell18 (7b)
  • Jason Holder1 (1b)
  • Mitchell Starc4-0-33-1
  • Pat Cummins4-0-37-1

West Indies have got to a decent total in the end. Feels, perhaps, a little light but certainly something to defend. Australia were pretty good with the ball after an early onslaught by the openers. Josh Hazlewood led the way with four wickets and Adam Zampa was excellent again. Will be a decent test of Australia's batting order. South Africa will be watching things very closely. Saurabh will be with you for the start of the chase.

Starc to Russell, SIX, and another! Terrific finish from Russell. It's a low full toss and it's lofted back over long-on. That's a boost for West Indies
19.5
6
Starc to Russell, SIX, gets hold of this one! Short of a length and that's certainly out of the middle as he pulls it way back over deep midwicket. TV says 111 metres. That's a big 'un

Starc to Holder, 1 run, stays round the wicket, gets the yorker in at the stumps, can only drive to mid-off
19.3
1
Starc to Russell, 1 run, round the wicket, banged in short, Russell pulls but it takes a toe end and early carries to long-on

Handy innings from the captain

Starc to Pollard, OUT, full at leg stump, long way up in the air and Maxwell has plenty of time to judge it from long-on

Starc to Pollard, no run, attempts to scoop a very full delivery, doesn't connect and ends up falling over in the crease. Not a shot you see often from Pollard

Sam: "Cricket is a game that brings one joy, but I feel so sad watching this game and seeing these legends wave goodbye. End of an era..."

Cummins to Russell, no run, another slower short ball, defeats Russell as he pulls. That's an excellent over from Cummins, just seven from it

Cummins to Pollard, 1 run, full at leg stump, clipped firmly but one bounce to deep square...a few metres either side and that was a boundary

Cummins to Russell, 1 run, a slower ball, short outside off, cracked over cover but can't beat the sweeper
18.3

Cummins to Russell, no run, swings to leg and doesn't connect, was there for shot...a full delivery in the swinging arc. Inside edge into his back pad

Cummins to Russell, FOUR, gets this away! Wasn't a bad ball. Fired in at the toes as he moves to the leg side but Russell clips it wide of short fine leg
18.1

Cummins to Pollard, 1 run, low full toss, speared into the pads, clipped straight to deep square leg

Sarah: "I honestly shed a couple tears just now watching bravo walk off. What a giant for windies cricket and global cricket by extension. "

  • Kieron Pollard42 (27b)
  • Andre Russell0 (0b)
  • Josh Hazlewood4-0-39-4
  • Pat Cummins3-0-30-1

Hazlewood finishes 4 for 39. A few more runs than he would have liked, but vital wickets. Can West Indies reach 160?

Hazlewood to Pollard, 1 run, full outside off, driven to long-on
17.5

Hazlewood to Pollard, FOUR, a length delivery, a slower ball, angling into the pads, tickled away fine and Hazlewood's figures taking a bit of dent
17.5
1w
Hazlewood to Pollard, 1 wide, very wide outside off, going for the wide yorker
17.4

Hazlewood to Pollard, FOUR, full and straight, powerfully flicked through midwicket. Excellent timing and placement

Bravo's final innings is over. He gets first-bumps from a few of the Australian players as he walks off. A hug from Andre Russell. And he salutes the fans. What a player he's been. Hugs and high-fives in the dugout

17.3
W
Hazlewood to Bravo, OUT, how much has he got of this? Not enough! It's four for Hazlewood. A full delivery, Bravo aiming straight down the ground, slices it high in the air, leaning back on the stroke, and very well-judged catch at long-on

DJ Bravo c Warner b Hazlewood 10 (26m 12b 0x4 1x6) SR: 83.33

Hazlewood to Pollard, 1 run, a slower ball, full outside off, dragged along the ground to deep midwicket as he loses his shape

Hazlewood to Pollard, 2 runs, full at off stump, a big heave across the line, takes a thick inside edge towards fine leg

Hazlewood for his last over

END OF OVER:

  • Kieron Pollard30 (22b)
  • Dwayne Bravo10 (11b)

Cummins to Pollard, 1 run, a slower ball dug in, tapped around the corner to keep the strike

Cummins to Pollard, SIX, he's up and running! It's another short one, he goes for the hook, it's a bit more top edge than middle but travels all the way over backward square leg
16.4

Cummins to Pollard, no run, goes short, well bowled, took the pace off as well and Pollard is through his shot early. Deflects off the toe end and lands short of Wade

Cummins to Pollard, FOUR, power! Full toss outside off, thumped straight down the ground and Warner has no chance with this one
