West Indies still had Justin Greaves and Kevin Sinclair out in the middle when the last session started but added just a few runs and ran out of tail. Australia are in the driving seat at the moment. They need 216 runs to win. The hosts are the favourites but the ball is doing enough for West Indies to inspire and end the day on a high. Can they scalp some wickets in this small phase? Let's find out.

The pain is too much for Shamar Joseph to bear and that will be the end of the Windies innings. A horrible hour with the bat for West Indies and on top of that Shamar Joseph is injured now. They were at one stage cruising through and in full control of this match but Australia turned the tables. West Indies lost half of their side inside 50 runs.The momentum changing period was when Kavem Hodge got out and all thanks to Travis Head at short leg for his quick reflexes.

No ball! A huge appeal for LBW and up goes the finger. Shamar Joseph reviews it but hang on it is deemed as a no ball. A yorker, right at the base of leg. Shamar Joseph gets his foot out to defend but misses and gets hit right on the toes. That looks really painful.
