Starc to T Chanderpaul, out Caught by Carey!! Fired down the leg-side by Starc, Chanderpaul goes for a flick but doesn't connect. In fact, Australia think the batter has nicked it and they take a review for a caught behind. The ball appears very close to the bat, and tell you what, HotSpot shows a faint edge. And that's a fantastic review by the Aussies. That brings an end to the opener's gritty knock. Didn't last long, but looked more composed than rest of the West Indian batters against the pink ball. The visitors are four down! Nearly 15 overs remaining in the day, and looking at how things have panned out in the last hour or so, Australia have a chance to take a few more wickets definitely.
