Mitchell Starc 2-48(15.3 ov)
69.3
Starc to Roston Chase, out Caught by Lyon!! Starc wraps it up! Australia finally hold onto a catch in this last-wicket stand, a good diving take by Lyon at fine leg and that's the end of that. Pacy hard length ball on the hips, Chase goes for the pick-up shot but ends up getting it more off the top edge of the blade. Was dipping on Lyon who did well to get forward and timed his dive well. Roston Chase c Lyon b Starc 34(56) [4s-4 6s-1]
69.2
Starc to Roston Chase, 2 runs, a touch too full and Chase times the drive fairly well, easing this off the front foot through the covers

67.5
Starc to Mindley, SIX, fired on the pads and Mindley has flicked this over deep backward square leg as the ball goes the distance
67.4
Starc to Mindley, no run, dropped again! Australia's fielding in the last 10 minutes has been a joke. Too many dropped chances. Was a back of a length delivery outside off, and Mindley got an outside edge as he got squared up. Carey dives to his left and gets his gloves to it, but fails to cling on to the catch. Should have taken that!
67.3

41.4
Starc to Joshua Da Silva, FOUR, nicely done! Overpitched inswinger by Starc, Joshua Da Silva gets his bat down in time and jams this with a closed bat face, finding the gap at mid-wicket in the process. Decent timing and it races away for the first boundary of the day
41.3
Starc to Joshua Da Silva, no run, back of a length on middle and leg, Joshua Da Silva gets behind the line and defends solidly
41.2
Starc to Anderson Phillip, 1 run, angling across from a good length, Phillip taps it gently to the right of Labuschagne who can't quite make the stop initially and that allows the single. There was a moment of hesitation between Phillip and Joshua Da Silva
41.1
Starc to Anderson Phillip, no run, back of a length around off, Phillip stays on the back foot and defends

39.2
Starc to Holder, out Caught by Carey!! Edged and taken! Starc is on fire here! First that fielding brilliance to get rid of the well-set Chanderpaul and now has the usually solid Holder nicking off for a duck. West Indies in a pickle. It's the away-angler, fullish around off and asking Holder to have a drive. He obliges but without any footwork and the angle across does the rest. Perhaps a hint of seam away too, and Carey completes a fine diving catch to his right. Holder c Carey b Starc 0(4)
39.1
Starc to Holder, no run, angling across from a good length, Holder doesn't offer a shot

37.4
Starc to T Chanderpaul, out T Chanderpaul Run Out!! The dive can't save Chanderpaul! An unfortunate end to what was promising to be a long innings from the young man. Nudged this gently towards the off-side and set off for a non-existent single. Never a run there and Starc quickly got across from his follow-through to unleash a direct hit at the striker's end. Despite a full-length dive, Chanderpaul was always struggling and he is just short of his crease. Sharp work from Starc and the perfect start to the day for Australia. T Chanderpaul run out (Starc) 47(102) [4s-3 6s-1]
37.3
Starc to T Chanderpaul, no run, proper pacy bumper, well-directed and Chanderpaul does well to duck under it

29.3
Starc to D Thomas, FOUR, there's the length and there's the error. Thomas was very reluctant to move his front foot and you could almost sense a bit of uncertainty while playing the full balls.
