Mitchell Starc to Kieron Pollard
OUT! CAUGHT! Edged and Gone! And finally, Australia get rid of the BIG MAN! Good bowling change this from Alex Carey. Starc comes into the attack and provides the team with the breakthrough straightaway. It is a length ball, around off stump. The ball just goes on with the angle, and Pollard pokes at it. The ball takes the outside edge straight to Ashton Turner at first slip, who does not make any mistake. And this should be curtains for West Indies. Starc has been quite exceptional with the bowl today.
