    8.6 sits back on the launch through the line, gets right underneath his stroke! The keeper circles beneath it, swallows the chance in the vicinity of gully, and Gittens looks more embarrassed than celebratory, but to be fair to the young man, he's held his nerve in a very trying spell, and prised the opening 73/1
    27.5 picks out deep midwicket! Samuel can't believe it. Lawes drops short, but from deep in the crease he can only drag a pull straight down Gittens' throat in the deep. An 85-run stand for the third wicket comes to an end 169/3
    10.6 chops it on! Gittens is having quite the day of it! He holds his hands out in a shrug gesture as he ends up in a heap in his followthrough! It was a fine delivery, made even better by the inconsistent fare that had preceded it! A perfect length outside off, good nip and bounce back into the right-hander, and a startled inside-edge, down into the leg stump! 84/2
    49.6 round the wicket, very full length, driven hard to long-off, they push for the second, and it's a close call on the run-out ... yep, he's an inch short! No red-inker for Peake, but a captain's innings all the same! 314/7
    40.5 has a big swipe, top-edged to backward point! That's good legspin bowling. Holding his line and length outside off, giving it a big rip and inducing the error as Lee Young tried to smash him off his length but skewed an outside edge high in the air 238/4
    46.4 makes room to leg, Pollard dangles the ball outside off, demands he takes on the longer off-side boundary, and he can't do so! Deep point is in the way of his slap for the fences, and that's a timely wicket to slow the charge 285/5
    48.1 uppercut to deep third! Pollard is getting his rewards now. Good lift on the tight line from over the wicket, Sharma looked to clear the ropes but didn't get enough bat through the ball. Easy take as Lawes settles beneath the chance 293/6

    11.3 strikes with a full toss! Chaos! A quick full toss, crashes straight into knee roll on the front pad to knock Francis off his feet, and up goes the finger! Francis hauls himself to his feet and hobbles off... was that hitting leg stump? It shaped into the right-hander in the air... Might have snuck down, but it's all academic with DRS unavailable 88/1

    15.1 strikes first ball! Cleaned up. Carter is furious with himself. He smacks his pad with his bat, and takes an age to peel himself off. Cooray starts from wide on the crease with a full, flat and fast legbreak, which sneaks underneath the bat and crashes into middle and leg stump as Carter looks to heave over the leg side once more. Australia reel in the big fish! 123/2
    26.1 yorker, straight through him! That's the wicket Australia needed! Andrew is slow to react to the change back to pace, and the loosener is anything but! Right up to the blockhole, through his flimsy defences, out comes the middle stump! Huge moment 171/3
    42.5 pressure bursts pipe! Four dots in a row, and Dorne looks to manufacture something from a ball that isn't there to be hit. It's a hard length again, not quite short enough to pull, and Dorne's attempt to haul it across the line into the leg side results in a bottom-edge chop-on 246/5
    40.4 nicks him off! Full and wide outside off, and Tilokani looks to launch it into the next state with an expansive off drive. His thick outside edge is gobbled up safely by Lee-Young behind the stumps, and Lachmund strikes a huge blow! 239/4
    48.3 speared in halfway down, lines up the pull, but picks out Draper at deep midwicket! Game, set and match. Van Lange got a decent piece of this, but not enough to clear the man just off the rope, and he walks off taking West Indies' chances with him 287/7
    47.4 long-on settles underneath it! Back of a length, Belle looks to swing hard down the ground and gets a decent piece of it. Plenty of elevation, but not quite the distance, and Aryan Sharma pouches the chance just inside the rope. Atones for his earlier miss! 285/6
    49.4 picks out long-on! Lawes clears the front leg and looks to swipe him into the sightscreen, and makes a decent enough connection. But Hogan makes no mistake just off the rope, and Lachmund has a fourth 291/9
    48.4 chops on! Sharma on a hat-trick. Angling in from around the wicket, Gittens hangs back and looks to chop him away through the off side, but he is late to jam down on the shot and is done on the inside edge. Two in two, and Australia are closing in... 287/8
