Right then, that’s all from what has been an entertaining Test match, where Australia sealed an unassailable 2-0 lead in the series. They'll now have their sights set on a clean sweep, while West Indies will be eager to bounce back and get on the board. The third and final Test will be a Day/Night affair at Sabina Park in Jamaica, and it gets underway on 13th July at 6.30 pm GMT (Previous Day). As always, you can join us early for all the build-up. Until then, take care and goodbye!
Pat Cummins, the victorious skipper of Australia, says both the Tests were fought hard, and he is happy to have come out on top, given that they were in a spot of bother at times in both the Tests. He adds that the Windies are always a challenging side to beat in their home conditions, and hence, he feels happy about the win. On whether there was a change in plans in the second innings, he says that the pitch deteriorated quite a bit, and it became easier for the pacers to keep on hitting the right areas and reap rewards. On the upcoming Pink Ball Test, he says they want to maintain the same high standards, as getting the crucial WTC points is important. He says that they deserve a bit of a break, and with a week's gap between the next Test, it’s just ideal. On Carey’s effort, he mentions that Carey has most of the time walked into bat in tricky situations and has delivered, so he feels that Carey’s knocks were very important in the context of the game.
Roston Chase, the captain of West Indies, says that the new ball was the biggest challenge, but they also could not get the partnerships in the middle. Adds that if they had batted better upfront for 10-15 overs, they would have had a chance. Admits that chasing 270-plus was tough but still thinks they could have done a lot better. Credits his bowlers for the way they have bowled and says that they are always hungry to bowl, and sometimes it becomes tough for him to rotate them.
Alex Carey is the PLAYER OF THE MATCH for his valuable contributions with the bat. He says he looks to score and put the pressure back on the opposition. He feels batting with a bit of intent on these wickets is important, and he tried to do that. On his mindset as a batter in these two Tests, he says it’s been enjoyable, and he understands Test cricket can be tough, and he has adjusted well to the conditions. He adds that to be able to contribute to the win is terrific, and he also reminds us of the last home series where they weren’t able to win the series, and says that because of that particular home series, this win feels sweet.
Presentation Time...
West Indies wrapped up the Australia innings quickly in the morning, conceding just 22 runs as Shamar Joseph finished with a four-wicket haul. Chasing 277, they were rocked early at 29/3, and just as Brandon King looked solid, Pat Cummins struck with a peach before Lunch. Roston Chase and Shai Hope fought back with a brisk stand, but once Hazlewood broke through, the collapse began. Despite some late hitting from Shamar, who is now their second-highest scorer in this series, Mitchell Starc and Nathan Lyon wrapped things up with three wickets each, sealing another convincing win for Australia by 133 runs.
Australia started the 'Moving Day' solidly as Steve Smith and Cameron Green soaked up the pressure and stitched a vital 93-run stand. Green reached a composed fifty but got out right after that. Smith also reached his half-century and, alongside Travis Head, helped stretch the lead past 200. But just as they looked set, Justin Greaves got a couple of quick wickets, and Shamar Joseph struck again to get Head. Alex Carey looked assured at the crease and, along with Cummins, guided Australia to stumps with a decent lead and a strong platform for Day 4.
West Indies showed fight with the bat on Day 2 as Brandon King led the way with a gritty 75. He built handy partnerships with Roston Chase and Shai Hope, but Australia hit back hard after Lunch with Josh Hazlewood striking early, and Pat Cummins and Nathan Lyon sharing three quick scalps towards the end. The lower order added crucial runs, with Shamar and Alzarri Joseph stitching a 51-run stand to cut the deficit to just 33. Jayden Seales then delivered a fiery burst with the new ball, removing both Aussie openers, but Cameron Green and Nathan Lyon saw out the day without further damage.
After electing to bat first, Australia got off to a steady start but lost three quick wickets to slip from 47/0 to 50/3. Travis Head and Cameron Green did some damage control, but Green fell just before Lunch. After a rain delay, Beau Webster and Alex Carey took charge, adding a fluent 99 runs in the session that kept the Windies under pressure. Carey notched up a solid fifty, Webster followed suit, and the lower order chipped in to push the total close to 300, but bad light meant the Windies openers were spared late drama.
AUSSIES ALL THE WAY! Another dominant win for Australia as they kick off their WTC campaign with back-to-back victories, sealing the series 2-0 in style. While the scorecard may suggest a comfortable result, it was anything but, much like the first Test, Australia had to dig deep and work hard for this win. West Indies showed flashes of promise yet again but couldn’t deliver the decisive punch, as the relentless Aussie bowling attack proved simply too strong to overcome.

The Ball Tracking shows the ball to be just clipping the leg stump.

With that wicket, drinks are called in. So after the Lunch break, the Windies definitely have looked to bat positively and have added 53 runs in 11.2 overs. But the big problem is that they have lost two set batters and are now 6 down. From Aussie point of view, they can smell the series victory as they are just 4 wickets away. Can the wrap it up in this session? Or will the West Indies tailenders again put up a fight?

Mitchell Starc To Roston Chase OUT!
OUT! LBW! Mitchell Starc gets his man now! A big blow for the West Indies as they lose their skipper, who was looking solid out there. Starc just goes a bit fuller and on off, coming in sharply with the angle. Chase is a bit stuck in his crease and looks to work it across the line but fails to take in the inward movement. He misses and gets hit on the knee roll of the front pad. There is a huge shout for LBW, and after some thinking, the umpire raises his finger. Chase takes the review, but he is also a bit unhappy with himself. UltraEdge confirms no bat involved. Ball Tracking comes up and shows that it is just clipping the bails. A bit unlucky for Chase, but he has to walk back for 34 off 41. West Indies are reeling at 86/6 now!

Josh Hazlewood To Shai Hope OUT!
OUT! TAKEN! Whenever Australia needs a wicket, they just get Josh Hazlewood back into the attack. He saw the batter advance on the previous ball and bangs this one into the pitch, off, nips back in a bit and bounces a bit more. Shai Hope stays back and tries to pull it on the front foot, but the ball gets big on him and rushes him. It takes the top edge and goes straight up in the air as Hazlewood settles under it and reverse cups it easily. Hope's intent was good, but he perishes trying to be aggressive. Windies lose half their side now.

There is a big appeal for LBW, but turned down. Pat Cummins takes the review after having a chat with his keeper, Alex Carey. Ball Tracking shows it is going down the leg side. Aussies lose a review!
Appeal for LBW not given! Pat Cummins, after thinking for a bit, goes for the review! Ball Tracking shows the ball missing leg stump by some margin. Not the greatest of the reviews from Australia!

... DAY 4, SESSION 2 ...
Well, the writing is on the wall for the West Indies, and it will be a challenge for them to get closer to this Aussie target. Their lower order and tailenders did contribute immensely in the 1st innings, and it will be again up to them to get this chase on track. The ball was just changed on the last ball before Lunch, so it is still new and spicy. The Aussie pacers seem to be in no mood to come back tomorrow, and they will look to wrap this up in the next session. So do join us for the post-lunch session at 4.40 PM GMT.
The Aussie Pacers were relentless, to say the least, as they kept on hitting the right areas from the word go. Campbell got out in the 2nd over to Hazlewood. Carty was the next to go as he edged one to the keeper of Starc's bowling. Webster's introduction in the 10th over immediately paid dividends as he got the big wicket of Kraigg Brathwaite, who is having a forgettable outing in his 100th Test match. Brandon King, the hero from the 1st innings, started off his 2nd dig on a positive note, scoring 3 boundaries in his 14, but Captain Cummins managed to sneak one through his defenses right on the brink of Lunch, leaving the Windies tottering at 33/4.
SESSION SUMMARY – 55 Runs, 19.4 Overs, 7 Wickets, and the Aussies are now 6 wickets away from going 2-0 up. To start the session, West Indies pacers were clinical this morning as they wrapped up the Aussie tail within 22 runs, with two Josephs sharing the remaining 3 wickets between them. Shamar eventually finished with a four-fer to his name as his record against Australia continues to elevate. After that, the Windies chase began as they batted 13.4 overs in the session. To no one’s surprise, they have found their going tough on this wicket as the Aussie pacers have come out firing on all cylinders.

Pat Cummins To Brandon King OUT!
OUT! BOWLED'EM! ABSOLUTE CORKER FROM THE AUSSIE SKIPPER! The ball change has worked wonders for Australia, and they are all over the West Indies now. Pat Cummins steams in from 'over the wicket and lands this a touch fuller, on off, gets it to straighten after hitting the deck. This is his stock delivery and he has troubled batters all over the world with this one. Brandon King, who had to wait for this ball for a bit with the ball change, loses a bit of focus. He does not really move his feet and plays down the wrong line as well as he expects it to shape in. The ball sneaks past the outside edge and hits the top of off. A dream dismissal for Cummins, and West Indies are 33/4 now. THAT WILL ALSO BE LUNCH ON DAY 4!
Oh, yet again the Dukes ball fails to pass the ring test, and we have a new set of balls being brought on. The Umpires will ensure the changed ball it is similar to a 10-15 over used ball. Selection done, and we are set to resume.

Webster lands this on a good length but much closer to the stumps, but still, the batter does not have to play that one. It is around the fifth stump line and holds its line. KB without moving his feet ,tries to have a poke at it, but only manages to get a nick behind where Alex Carey takes an easy catch. West Indies are 29/3, still needing 248 runs to win!

Back of a length and on middle, angling into the body of the batter, Keacy Carty adjusts well with the bounce and clips it towards fine leg. A bit of a hesitation, but the batters take the two in the end. A check for short run but the replay shows it is fine.

Josh Hazlewood To John Campbell OUT!
OUT! LBW! APPEAL FOR LBW AND GIVEN! Back-of-a-length ball that nips in sharply. Campbell, who is standing on middle and off stump, fails to bring his bat down in time as the ball nips in and skids off the surface to hit his front pad. He consults Kraigg Brathwaite and goes for the DRS. Nothing on UltraEdge. Ball tracking is coming up. Pitching outside off, impact in line and wickets hitting. Three reds and John Campbell has to go. West Indies lose a review too!
