West Indies vs Australia, 2nd Test - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

Alzarri Joseph to Lyon, out Caught by Shai Hope!! The frustration ends for West Indies. Alzarri finishes with a 4-fer. The short ball ploy works out. This is angled down leg, Lyon swivels around and tries to help it along the way, but all he manages is to glove the pull and Shai Hope moves to his left to complete the catch. Lyon c Shai Hope b Alzarri Joseph 11(17) [4s-1]

Shamar Joseph to Hazlewood, leg byes, FOUR, these are handy runs. Shamar sprays it down leg, Hazlewood misses the glance but the ball brushes the pad and races past a diving Shai Hope

Alzarri Joseph to Hazlewood, FOUR, streaky! Nips in from short of length and Hazlewood is caught in the crease, he dangles his bat away from the body and the inside edge flies past the stumps

Alzarri Joseph to Webster, out Webster Run Out!! 1 run completed. How many times have we seen this? A run-out when a recognised batter is trying to protect or farm the strike with a no.10 or 11 at the crease. It happened recently with Kusal Mendis versus Bangladesh and now it is Beau Webster's turn. There was never a second. On a length and outside off, Webster drives on the rise and the ball races towards sweeper cover, Carty swoops down and sends in a good throw to Shai Hope, who does the rest and catches Webster well short of the crease. Webster run out (Keacy Carty/Shai Hope) 60(115) [4s-6 6s-1]

Jayden Seales to Lyon, FOUR, that must have slipped out. High full toss, close to being a no-ball, the line is outside off and that allows Lyon to pick up the boundary, he opens the bat face and guides it behind square on the off-side

Jayden Seales to Mitchell Starc, out Caught by Shai Hope!! Edged and caught! West Indies keep striking, pitched up and holding its line outside off, drags Starc forward into the drive and he does so with minimal foot movement - a loud audible sound is heard as the ball goes through to the keeper. Starc simply turns around and walks away - can West Indies keep Australia under 300? Mitchell Starc c Shai Hope b Jayden Seales 6(8) [4s-1]

Alzarri Joseph to Mitchell Starc, FOUR, top-edge and four, banged in short and Starc is late on the pull, catches the top-edge and lobs over Shai Hope's head - Starc is off and running with a boundary, brings up Australia's 250 as well

Alzarri Joseph to Cummins, out Bowled!! A third wicket for Alzarri, has been impressive today and he's got his rewards, but Cummins will feel mighty unlucky to be at the recieving end of an absolute grubber, was banged into the pitch and had Cummins hopping up in defence, but this one shoots from a length and Cummins has no chance of getting his bat down in time, ricocheted off the pad and it then crashed into the middle-stump. Cummins b Alzarri Joseph 17(20) [4s-3]

Justin Greaves to Cummins, FOUR, more runs for Cummins, but this is a lucky boundary, short of a good length and around the off-stump channel, Cummins stays leg-sided and then looks toc ut, chops an under-edge which runs away past the leg-stump

Justin Greaves to Cummins, FOUR, beautifully played, pitched up by Greaves - Cummins leans forward, presents the full face of the bat and then drives it back past the bowler, to the right of mid-off and the ball rolls away

Shamar Joseph to Webster, 1 run, 4th Test fifty for Webster, short of a good length and just outside off - he's looking to force it away off the back-foot and gets a thick inside edge, behind square on the on-side

Justin Greaves to Cummins, FOUR, cracking shot, a friendly half-volley and Cummins despatches it in some style - climbed into the drive and then drilled it powerfully over cover, races away to the ropes

Justin Greaves to Carey, out Caught by Brathwaite!! That's a sitter and Greaves has broken through for the West Indies - short of a good length and angling across the left-hander, Carey stayed on the front-foot as he shaped for the pull, doesn't get anywhere near the middle of the bat and spoons a simple catch to Brathwaite at mid-wicket. The shoulders were beginning to droop, a big wicket in the contest of restricting Australia to a reasonable score. Carey c Brathwaite b Justin Greaves 63(81) [4s-10 6s-1]

Justin Greaves to Carey, SIX, hammered, too short from Greaves, he doesn't have the pace to trouble Carey and the ball simply sat up to be smacked - Carey picks the length early, swivels across and then dismisses it over square leg for a maximum

Shamar Joseph to Carey, FOUR, edged, and the ball went flying wide of the man at slip, who was wide himself - fuller length delivery and pushed across the left-hander, Carey saw the width and threw his hands on the drive, gets a big edge and Chase can only watch it fly past his reach

Shamar Joseph to Carey, no run, another run-out chance and it's gone in waste, Carey nudged one straight to left mid-wicket and set-off for a non-existent single - he's sent back as Greaves ran to his left and got into an excellent position to nail on the throw, he didn't miss by much with Carey having given up

Anderson Phillip to Carey, FOUR, fifty for Carey. He raises his bat and soaks in the applause. Not a fluent knock but it has been effective. He has rode his luck but is still out there. This too went off the outside edge. Fullish delivery angled across, Carey defends with hard hands and the outside edge goes away fine. There is just one fielder at slip and he's well wide of Shai Hope

Anderson Phillip to Carey, no run, dropped! That's a regulation catch which Shai Hope has put down. West Indies continue to be poor in the field. Short ball banged into the surface, Carey stands tall and plays the ramp, does not get the elevation to clear Hope who jumps up and gets his hands all messed up. The ball hits his fingertips and drops wide of the slip fielder. How costly will that be?

Anderson Phillip to Webster, FOUR, poor delivery and deserved the treatment. 138.2ks full delivery on the pads, Webster flicks it backward of square and splits the two fielders in the deep perfectly

Roston Chase to Webster, FOUR, neatly done! 88.4ks tossed up outside off, Webster sits down and laps it to fine leg. He used the pace and gave the ball direction

Anderson Phillip to Carey, FOUR, 133.5ks fullish delivery outside off, Carey throws the kitchen sink on the drive and slices it over the backward point region. He went hard and didn't bother to keep it down the ground

Roston Chase to Carey, FOUR, just over the fielder. Something had to give as Carey had played a maiden off Chase's previous over. He sits down and drags the sweep wide of mid-on. Gets enough elevation to evade a leaping Seales

Jayden Seales to Webster, FOUR, shot! The line was the problem here. Full and outside off, not much swing on offer now, Webster leans forward and caresses the drive in front of square. He transferred his weight nicely into the shot

Roston Chase to Webster, SIX, does not take long for Webster to bring out the sweep. He gets down and does not quite get under the flighted delivery, gets more of a top-edge and the ball sails over deep backward square

Jayden Seales to Carey, FOUR, ends the over with a boundary. Carey gives the charge once again, converts it into a full pitcher and drives it in front of square. He's been doing that quite often in this innings

Alzarri Joseph to Webster, FOUR, on a length around off, the ball keeps a touch low and straightens off the deck, Webster gets an outside edge through gully for four runs

Jayden Seales to Carey, leg byes, FOUR, sprays this down the leg-side as the ball clips Carey's pads and races away to the fine leg boundary. Some bonus runs for Australia

Alzarri Joseph to Webster, FOUR, lovely timing. This was pitched up outside off and Webster creams it through covers for a boundary. 150 up for Australia at the same time

Justin Greaves to Carey, FOUR, Carey on the charge. Shimmies down the wicket and flicks the length delivery over wide mid-on for four useful runs. He's going along at run-a-ball for the moment

Justin Greaves to Carey, FOUR, starts off with a loose delivery down the leg-side, Carey nonchalantly flicks it away to the fine leg fence for four runs

Alzarri Joseph to Webster, byes, FOUR, short and quick down the leg-side, misses the batsman, misses the keeper and races away to the boundary, some bonus runs down the leg-side

Anderson Phillip to Carey, FOUR, well-timed off-drive. This was pitched up by Anderson Phillip and the batsman has drilled it through mid-off with impeccable timing and placement. Lovely shot by the Australian keeper

Anderson Phillip to Webster, no run, run-out chance missed! Webster flicks this towards mid-wicket and the non-striker sets off for a single. Had the fielder nailed a direct-hit at the bowler's end, it would have been curtains for Carey who was miles outside his crease. Lucky escape for the Australian keeper

Anderson Phillip to Carey, FOUR, back of a length delivery outside off, Carey plays this pretty late, and with not much movement on offer the southpaw manages to steer it past the fielder at backward point

Shamar Joseph to Carey, FOUR, stylish shot. On a length from round the wicket, Carey picks the length early and flicks it through the leg-side for four runs. Opens his account in style

Shamar Joseph to Head, out Caught by Shai Hope!! Shamar Joseph gets the big fish. Head is gone as it's a clean catch by Shai Hope. Was a shortish delivery outside off and Head tried to fend it away. Got somewhat surprised due to the steep bounce and ended up getting an outside edge. Hope extends his left arm out and plucks out a well-judged low catch, just inches above the ground. Enough fingers underneath the ball and the third umpire reckons it's a clean catch. Australia have lost half their side with plenty of overs remaining in the opening day of this Test. But they can't afford to be complacent as the Australian lower-middle order batters made the difference in the previous Test. Can't afford to take them lightly by any means. Head c Shai Hope b Shamar Joseph 29(43) [4s-3]

Shamar Joseph to Head, FOUR, easy pickings! Drifting on the pads and Head glances it away to the fine leg fence with nonchalance

Anderson Phillip to Webster, FOUR, back of a length delivery outside off, Webster opens the bat face late and steers this through backward point for a well timed and well placed boundary. As cool as a cucumber while playing that

Shamar Joseph to Head, FOUR, 100 up for Australia! Shamar Joseph goes full outside off and Head drills this through covers with an impeccable cover drive, right into the gap and no chance of stopping that

Jayden Seales to Green, out Caught by Roston Chase!! West Indies go to lunch on a high - that missed chance hasn't cost them more than a single, another loose drive to a wide awayswinger, another edge and Chase has taken a good catch, right across at gully. Green was very tenattive to that line and length and it has caused his downfall. His feet hardly moved as he went chasing with hard hands. Green c Roston Chase b Jayden Seales 26(37) [4s-4]

Jayden Seales to Green, no run, chance and Campbell has dropped it, they missed 7 chances in the first Test, the count starts here - full and wide of off, lured Green into the drive and he couldn't keep it down, went at a good height to the right of cover, Campbell got both hands and it burst out

Shamar Joseph to Green, FOUR, full and wide of off - Green throws the hands on the drive and gets enough to clear cover, bounces away to the ropes in a hurry

Jayden Seales to Head, FOUR, beautifully played, too full and too straight as Seales starts a new spell - Head gets inside the line and then whips it disdainfully over mid-wicket, bounces away to the ropes

Alzarri Joseph to Green, FOUR, back-to-back boundaries for Green - Alzarri goes full, but it's met with the full face of the bat from Green, past the keeper and beats mid-off to his right, this will make him feel better

Alzarri Joseph to Green, FOUR, thumped, another short ball from Alzarri, but this one doesn't rise a lot - Green picks the length early, swivels across and then hammers the pull over square leg for a boundary

Alzarri Joseph to Green, FOUR, beautifullly played, overpitched on the pads as Alzarri went for the magic delivery - Green shuffles across, gets inside the line and then whips it through mid-wicket for a boundary

Alzarri Joseph to Smith, out Caught by Anderson Phillip!! Did that distraction break his concentration? Smith has holed out to long leg and Australia have lost three on the bounce - banged in short and at the stumps, Smith shuffled across and was looking to use Joseph's pace on the pull, he doesn't get on top of the bounce, a masive top-edge is found and Phillip has plenty of time to settle under it - he keeps calm and completes a fine catch. Smith c Anderson Phillip b Alzarri Joseph 3(6)

Alzarri Joseph to Smith, 2 runs, short of a good length and shaping away from the right-hander - Smith gets on top of the bounce and punches it wide of cover for a couple

Anderson Phillip to Sam Konstas, out Caught by Shai Hope!! Edged and taken! This was always on the cards. He survived several times before, but this one had his name written on it. Anderson Phillip goes full outside off and the ball nips away sharply. Sam Konstas goes for a drive away from his body and the outside edge has been taken by the keeper. Both the openers have been dismissed in back-to-back overs. Australia will have two new batters at the crease.. Sam Konstas c Shai Hope b Anderson Phillip 25(37) [4s-4]

Alzarri Joseph to Khawaja, out Lbw!! Alzarri Joseph draws first blood! Back of a length delivery from round the wicket with some extra bounce and the batsman gets beaten due to the movement. Struck on the pads and the replays confirm there was no bat involved. Impact's in line and it's clipping the top of middle and leg. The onfield decision stays and Khawaja will have to walk back to the pavilion. Australia will retain the review though as it was umpire's call. Khawaja lbw b Alzarri Joseph 16(29) [4s-2]

Alzarri Joseph to Khawaja, leg byes, FOUR, drifting down the leg-side, Khawaja looks to nudge it away, clips the thigh pad and rolls down to the fine leg fence

Alzarri Joseph to Khawaja, FOUR, make that four boundaries in a row. On the shorter side, Khawaja plays a controlled pull shot and sends this away to the deep square leg boundary

Alzarri Joseph to Khawaja, FOUR, they are dealing in boundaries. A short ball by Alzarri Joseph and the batsman has pulled it through square leg for four more. Runs coming from both the ends now
