    13.1 bowled im. That's why he was brought back. Charles' struggling innings ends. A superb yorker again, not for the first time Charles gets an inside edge but this time it rattled into middle stump. Late swing back in. Superb stuff from Starc 59/3
    0.5 gone. Whoa. Some start this. Full and wide outside off, not a lot of swing but enough. Fletcher wafts at it aimlessly and the skew flies to backward point. Comfortable height and comfortably taken. Starc has a wicket in his first over on international return 6/1
    11.1 poor shot. Full and wide, Bravo lays into a drive but fails to keep it down. Hits an uppish drive but straight to extra cover who juggles it and then takes it inches away from the ground. Not sure what he was trying to do there, maybe through the stroke too early 50/2
    16.1 given this time by umpire Brathwaite. Flat on middle and leg, skids on with the arm. The ball thuds into Samuels' pads in front of leg. This time the finger goes up. Samuels went deep in his crease but just missed his flick. Umpire's call at best/worst so a good decision not to review 70/4
    22.2 an appeal for lbw, Maxi gets it to straighten, given! Pushed on middle, Ramdin presses forward and plays across the line and is trapped in front. Rapped on the front pad. No inside snick involved. Ump Brathwaite's call is vindicated. Ramdin's review amounts to nothing. The tracker shows it would hit middle. Maxi leaves the hosts six down 85/6
    16.2 straight to long-on. Pollard falls. Australia have two in two. Lyon has two in two. The same shot that got WI out of trouble in the previous game causes further misery for WI here. Tossed up on middle, some spin takes the inside half of Pollard's bat who looked to go down the ground with an uppish loft. That turn helped the ball lands straight in Warner's lap at long-on 70/5
    32.3 floated on off, 79ks Ricky has a big swing at it. He does not get under it. He has to settle with a sliced hit. Finch pouches it at the edge of the long-on boundary 116/10
    23.4 bowled 'em! Holder rocks away outside leg and exposes all three stumps. Zampa takes aim and locks his target. He fires a slider and takes the off stump. The hosts are seven down 88/7
    26.1 Soft, soft dismissal. Khawaja pats Lyon on the head. Looped up on middle, may have stopped a touch on Benn. He has to check his push-drive, he ends up plopping it back to Lyon 91/8
    30.4 wrong'un and Zampa strikes again! Narine showed his ace early by dancing out. Zampa dangles a googly outside off, got it to dip as well. Narine aimed a hack across the line and did not touch it. Wade flips the bails off 111/9

    7.4 plumb in front! Full and straight, Finch shuffles across, trying to flick over midwicket but just plain misses a straight one. The umpire's finger was up quicker than I could say out. Easy decision, Finch doesn't bother reviewing. 44/1
    16.6 Benn gets Khawaja. Rather, Khawaja gives it away. Subdued celebrations. Drifts outside leg, sticks in the surface. Khawaja flicks early and spoons a catch to short midwicket 85/2
    19.2 Narine returns and strikes! Umpire Llong's finger goes up. Was that doing too much? Looked so. Biting offbreak, tossed full, from Narine, Smith is deceived and is rapped on the front pad in line with the stumps. Perhaps, curling down leg. Smith has to go though. He could have review it. The tracker confirms that it was slipping down leg 92/3
    19.4 Narine takes down Maxi for a duck! Big offbreak, rips in from outside off, shoots through the gate and nails the off stump. Maxi aimed a cover drive and missed. Two wickets in three balls for Narine. He still has the fizz 92/4
