Anderson Phillip to Alex Carey
FOUR! FIFTY FOR CAREY! Gets to it in a streaky fashion, but this has been a fantastic knock from the Aussie keeper. His second consecutive half-century against the Windies. Anderson Phillip bowls this on a good length and just around off, shapes away. Alex Carey looks to push at it but gets an outside edge that goes between the keeper and second slip for a boundary. He raises his bat to soak in the applause.

Justin Greaves to Alex Carey
OUT! TAKEN! Justin Greaves gets the crucial breakthrough! West Indies have finally managed to break the massive 112-run stand. Greaves bangs this one into the pitch hard, on middle. Alex Carey looks to take it on and goes for the pull, but gets a bit cramped up and hits it from the higher part of the bat. The ball loops straight to mid-wicket, where Kraigg Brathwaite takes an easy catch. Carey knew as soon as he hit it and started to walk away. He goes back for a fine 63 off 81, and Australia are 222/6!
