...THE CHASE...

Australia will back themselves to chase this down. The wicket is really good and they have quality in their line-up. Windies on the other hand, need wickets and at regular intervals if they are to stay in the game or the hosts can just cruise to this target? Join us back for the reply in a bit.

An excellent bowling performance comes to an end by the Aussies. It was Xavier Bartlett who began things brilliantly by taking three in no time. Courtesy him, the Windies were in big trouble at around 60 for 4. The visitors though then fought back as Chase and Keacy Carty put up a really good partnership. Both scored half tons and then, Windies looked all set to reach the 250-run mark at least. However, once Chase fell, Keacy Carty also departed quickly and the lower order struggled to score runs. The Aussie bowlers came back strongly towards the end. Sean Abbott and Cameron Green gave really good support to Xavier Bartlett as they picked up two each. Steven Smith will be very satisfied as of now.

OUT! TAKEN! That is a really good catch by Marnus Labuschagne! He redeems himself for a missing a run out on the last delivery. This is short and on middle, Hayden Walsh steps out and pulls it hard towards deep mid-wicket. Marnus Labuschagne runs to his right and takes it with a slide. West Indies HAVE BEEN BOWLED OUT FOR 231!

OUT! TAKEN! Xavier Bartlett has 4. This is banged in short and on middle, Gudakesh Motie looks to flat-bat it over the mid off fielder but it goes off the splice and it is taken by the cover fielder. He has five balls in this over to get a fifer. Also, he has the last batter in front of him.

How is Gudakesh Motie still out there. Shorter and outside off, this is slapped towards deep cover. The fielder runs to his left. Travis Head it is but he fumbles. They go for the second. Motie takes off for the third but is sent back. The throw is towards the keeper who collects it ahead of the stump. He turns and looks to underarm it from close range onto the stumps at his end but misses.

Back of a length and on middle, this is nudged to mid-wicket.
