Nathan Ellis to Alzarri Joseph. Half volley, wide outside off stump deep in crease Slog, inside edge to short leg for 1 run, shy attempt by Ellis, fielded by Inglis. That's the end of the first innings. After being put into bat, the West Indies have posted a competitive total on the board. Despite an early setback with Brandon King falling in the fourth over, Shai Hope and Roston Chase steadied the innings with a commanding partnership. Both batters brought up blistering fifties, laying a solid foundation. Shimron Hetmyer then joined skipper Hope and added valuable runs, keeping the momentum going. At one stage, the Windies looked well on course for a total well over 200. However, Australia clawed their way back into the contest, picking up four wickets in the final two overs. Thanks to that late burst, the visitors restricted the West Indies to 189. Join us for the run chase in a few minutes.
