Marcus Stoinis to Shai Hope
FOUR! DROPPED! Marcus Stoinis serves it short and over off. Shai Hope slaps it over mid on and the fielder is there near the cow corner area but he wasn't standing near the ropes. The ball flies over his hands and crosses the fence for four runs.

Marcus Stoinis to Shai Hope
OUT! TAKEN! It is Sean Abbott who takes the catch again! Marcus Stoinis bangs it short and over middle. Shai Hope pulls it well but this time doesn't get the distance.

Adam Zampa to Andre Russell
OUT! TIMBER! Adam Zampa goes full and straight at 98 clicks and gets it right in the blockhole. Andre Russell looks to put pressure back on the bowler by looking for the slog-sweep across the line but is beaten all ends up and the ball skids through to castle into the stumps. Dre Russ departs the second ball and Zampa picks up a huge wicket for his side.

Adam Zampa to Sherfane Rutherford
Leg bye! Slower through the air and floated up on the legs, Sherfane Rutherford misses the tuck and the ball goes off the pads to short fine leg. They get a leg bye.
15.3
6
Adam Zampa to Nicholas Pooran
SIX! That was raw power from Nicholas Pooran. Quick and a bit full around off, Pooran stays leg side of the ball and deliberately slices it straight back over the bowler's head and over the fence as well for a maximum. West Indies need a lot more of that now.
15.4
W
Adam Zampa to Nicholas Pooran
OUT! CAUGHT! A fourth catch in the deep for Sean Abbott and Adam Zampa has made Nicholas Pooran look like a fool here. Zampa knows Pooran will take him on again and just floats it up on the stumps but it is the wrong'un and Pooran has to slog-sweep against the turn to the longer boundary as well. Pooran backs himself to clear it but hits it straight down the throat of Abbott who gobbles it up. West Indies in a free fall now and Zampa has bhis third wicket.

Sean Abbott to Sherfane Rutherford
OUT! CAUGHT! Sean Abbott takes pace off this time and digs it in a bit short outside off. Sherfane Rutherford looks to stay put, reach out and fetch the pull shot but is way too early in his shot. The ball lobs up off the top edge and lands around backward point where the substitute fielder, Aaron Hardie reverse cups it while wearing Matthew Short's jersey.

Jason Behrendorff to Romario Shepherd
OUT! CAUGHT! Another one bites the dust and West Indies are going down in a hurry here. Jason Behrendorff stays around the wicket and bowls it really full and around off stump. Romario Shepherd reaches forward and looks to loft it on the full but toe-ends it. The ball is chipped just over cover where Mitchell Marsh reverse cups it and he is a bit casual and almost spilled it but the ball does stick in those big hands.

Jason Behrendorff to Akeal Hosein

Jason Behrendorff to Jason Holder
SIX! Clean strike from Jason Holder and he has just about kept West Indies in the contest. 40 needed now off 12 balls. Full on middle and leg, in the slot yet again, Holder takes the front leg out and just clubs it over deep mid-wicket into the breeze and the ball still sails over for a maximum.

Josh Hazlewood to Akeal Hosein

FOUR! That has been smashed away! Banged in short over off and at a comfortable height, Jason Holder stands tall and pulls it firmly in front of square and the ball rockets into the fence.

Josh Hazlewood to Jason Holder
A bit of cat and mouse between the batter and bowler. Jason Holder pre-meditates shuffling across the off stump and Josh Hazlewood follows him with a slower and fuller one. Holder gets into an awkward position but manages to work it away toward fine leg for a brace.

Sean Abbott to Jason Holder
SIX! Crunched! Sean Abbott misses his mark with the yorker and serves a low full toss instead. Jason Holder stays deep in the crease and uses those long levers to whack it over deep mid-wicket for a maximum. It's not over just yet.

FOUR! Creamed through the gap and West Indies practically need 3 sixes off the last 3 balls to win! This is full and wide again, Holder smashes it away along the ground and well wide of mid off for a boundary.

Sean Abbott to Jason Holder
Oh, dear! The fielder completely gets bamboozled by the spin off the turf. Full and wide yet again and in the blockhole, Jason Holder squeezes this one toward short third man where the fielder runs ahead of the ball and the batters get three runs in the deep.

Sean Abbott to Akeal Hosein
Full and straight, Akeal Hosein drills this one right back but Sean Abbott gets a leg in the way on the followthrough and the ball slows down to long on. Just the single.
