AUS vs WI, 1st Test, Day 2 Live
We are back for Australia's second innings. The umpires are out in the middle as the West Indies players are seen in a huddle around the sidelines before walking out to the middle. Usman Khawaja and David Warner are the openers for Australia. Kemar Roach has the new ball in hand and is raring to go.
Brendon Julian and Michael Hussey are pitchside and they inform us that Australia have gone for the heavy roller. They add that the pitch will stay good for at least the first hour and 14 overs or 50 minutes of play is left in the day, whichever comes last.
... THIRD INNINGS ...
West Indies fought hard but after Jermaine Blackwood departed it all went downhill quite quickly. Brooks though played well and Chase also showed some good fight but against a disciplined bowling attack they could not hang on for a long time. Earlier, Kraigg Brathwaite and debutant Tagenarine Chanderpaul had set up a good foundation for the rest of the batting line-up but it was always a case of finding one or two quick wickets for the Aussies and then with pitch fastening up, West Indies could not handle the classe of the Aussies. Australia would be looking to get some quick runs with the bat now and get that lead over 450 at least. Let's see how they go about their business now. Stay tuned.
West Indies are bowled out for 283 and Australia have a lead of 315. They have not enforced the follow-on though but would be pretty happy with their bowling effort in the second and final session on Day 3. As expected, the second new ball did the trick for them as Starc got rid of Blackwood who was showing some great grit and determination and that opened the floodgates as the lower middle order and tail-enders found it tough against some quality bowling. Cummins ended with three wickets along with Starc who also took three and overall they got six wickets with the second new ball by giving away just 39 runs.
OUT! CAUGHT! That's it, West Indies have been bowled out here! Pat Cummins bangs this one in short over middle and at a good height as well. Alzarri Joseph looks to take it on but mistimes it badly. The ball pops up around the mid-wicket region and David Warner over there takes a simple catch and sprints back to the dressing room which is an indication that Australia will bat again. West Indies are bundled out for 283 and Australia have a mammoth first-innings lead of 315 runs.
Good-length delivery around middle. This one nips in a touch and Joseph nudges it onto the leg side.
Nicely flighted around the off pole, Seales leaves it alone.
Tossed up around middle and leg, Jayden Seales blocks it off the front foot.
Jayden Seales is the last man in.
OUT! CAUGHT! A brilliant reflex catch at first slip by Steven Smith and Kemar Roach has to walk back for a duck. Lovely flight on this one from Nathan Lyon and he pushes this outside the off stump as well. Roach goes for the expansive drive against the turn and ends up getting a thick outside edge. Smith has almost no time react but does well to push back and grab it with both hands to his left. Australia are now just one wicket away from bundling out West Indies.
Flighted, around off stump, Kemar Roach blocks it out.
Tossed up around off stump, Roach pushes it out on the off side.
Sharp turn there. This is tossed up on middle and the ball spins into the right-hander. Joseph gets an inside edge on it that goes just past the diving man at short leg. they do get a single.
Kemar Roach is the next man in.
OUT! LBW! The skipper with yet another masterful stroke and West Indies lose their eight wicket. Pat Cummins serves this one a touch fuller on off stump and angles it in. The ball nips back in sharply off the deck and keeps a shade low as well. Roston Chase gets completely caught on the crease and ends up getting pinged right in front. There is a huge appeal and the finger is raised almost instanteanously. No review from Chase and rightly so as ball Tracking shows it was crashing into middle stump. West Indies still need 117 runs to avoid the follow on.
Cummins keeps it full and tries to attack the pads but spills it down the leg side. Chase misses the flick as well.
On a good length, close to the off stump and holding its line. Roston Chase makes an assured leave.
This is full and on off, Chase drives it straight towards mid off.
Around the top of off and just nipping back in a touch. Chase covers the line well and makes the block.
