Mitchell Starc to Nicholas Pooran
Play and a miss! Short in length and outside off, Pooran tries to cut but it bounces over his blade.

Mitchell Starc to Nicholas Pooran
Fuller in length and on off, NP is forward as he defends it to covers.

Mitchell Starc to Nicholas Pooran
Too full in length on off at 145 kph, Pooran digs it out back towards the bowler who jumps to gather the ball on the bounce. Fails to do so cleanly and palms behind. Pooran spots the chance and calls his partner through for a run.

Mitchell Starc to Jason Holder
Fuller and on middle, defended off the pads to mid-wicket.

Mitchell Starc to Jason Holder
Great timing! Fullish and outside off, Holder pushes it through the gap at covers for one. 30 needed more.

Mitchell Starc to Nicholas Pooran
Beaten! Back of a length delivery outside off, zipping off the surface and holding its line, Pooran pokes at it tamely and is beaten all ends up.

Ashton Turner to Jason Holder
FIFTY for Jason Holder, his 10th in ODIs! What an innings this has been from him! He walked in when West Indies was in a spot of bother but along with Pooran, he has managed to put the home team on top. Slightly shorter around off, punched off the back foot to deep cover for a single.

Ashton Turner to Nicholas Pooran
Short ball on middle and leg, Pooran makes room and looks to pull but misses the ball. He is hit high onto his pads.

Length ball on top of off, Holder tries to block but it's very quick and hits him on the gloves.

Mitchell Starc to Jason Holder
NOT OUT! Length again on off, Holder looks to loft it over mid on but gets it off the inside half. It still manages to clear mid on. The batsmen scamper for two but there's a direct hit at the bowler's end. They appeal and it's referred upstairs. Pooran has made it safely back in as we can see in the replays.

Mitchell Starc to Jason Holder
OUT! LBW! Length ball around off, angling in at 144 kph, Holder looks to tuck it away on the leg side but misses and the ball crashes into the pads. Starc appeals and the finger goes up. Holder reviews it but it's in vain as the wickets are the umpire's call which means the original decision stands. Can Australia carve an opening now?

Mitchell Starc to Alzarri Joseph
Pitched up outside off, looking to swing it in. Joseph shoulders his arms at it.

Mitchell Starc to Alzarri Joseph
Very quick and full delivery, drifting down leg. Joseph looks to flick but the ball catches the pads and Carey takes it beautifully. Certainly saved a boundary there.

Ashton Turner to Nicholas Pooran
A bit of turn and grip for Turner, pitching on off and turning away, Pooran pulls out of the cut shot.
35.2

Ashton Turner to Nicholas Pooran
SIX! Tossed up on off, Pooran decides to take it on and whacks it behind the bowler's head. It's not a clean connection but has enough to clear the fence as the long off fielder runs across to his left.

Ashton Turner to Nicholas Pooran
Darted in at the stumps, well defended away by Pooran.

Ashton Turner to Nicholas Pooran
DROPPED! A sharp chance for Wade at first slip but he fails to hang on. Flighted delivery on off, spinning away, Pooran tries to cut way too hard and gets the edge. He is lucky as the catch is dropped by Wade. The ball deflects behind and they cross. Fifty for Nicholas Pooran!

IN THE AIR...AND SAFE! Starc bangs this one short at 141 kph and the ball bounces a bit higher and takes the handle of Joseph's bat who was looking to defend. The ball falls safely in front of square leg as the batsmen take a run.

In the air... falls safely! Fuller in length and outside off, 142 kph, Pooran plays a mistimed lofted shot towards cover. It clears the infield and they cross.

A yorker in the blockhole, Joseph has his bat down in time as he blocks it to the off side. End of another breathtaking spell by Starc, 10-1-26-3!

FIVE WIDES! Straying down the leg side, spinning past Joseph's pads, missed by the keeper and by leg slip, racing into the boundary. West Indies are almost there.

FOUR! WEST INDIES WIN BY 4 WICKETS! A flatter full ball around off, Alzarri Joseph goes with the turn and heaves it over mid-wicket for the winning runs. The series is levelled now.
