Jediah Blades to Aaron Hardie
DROPPED? The umpire at the bowling end indicates that it came off the thigh. On a back of a length, too straight from Blades, around the thigh pad, Hardie swings to go behind square on the leg side. The ball actually grazes the inside edge of the bat and goes low to the left of the keeper. Shai Hope dives to his left but fails to hold on.

DRINKS BREAK! Australia are in control of the chase at the moment. Despite seeing the back of Josh Inglis, West Indies haven’t been able to dry up the boundaries or apply any real pressure, with 63 runs coming in 23 balls since. Since losing Inglis, Glenn Maxwell has taken charge and, alongside Cameron Green, has brought the equation down to 77 needed off the last 10 overs. West Indies have struggled with their lines and lengths under pressure and need a couple of quick wickets to spark any hope of a fightback.

Jediah Blades to Mitchell Marsh
OUT! LBW! Maiden T20I wicket for Jediah Blades and it's the big one of Mitchell Marsh. Keeps it on a length, on the middle, and leg. Mitchell Marsh looks to play across the line and misses. He is pinned in front, and the umpire had no hesitation in raising the finger this time. Marsh decides against the review and Australia suffer an early blow. Well, well, well, the Ball Tracking is in and it shows that the ball pitched outside the line.
