18:00pm Australia win by 63 runs (D/L method) and go 2-0 up in the five-game series. West Indies were never in the chase after Lee struck first ball and Gayle went soon after, triggering a spate of silly shots. Chasing 213 wasn't easy on this tough track but West Indies really blew it. Chanderpaul notches up another unbeaten score, this time 45 off 77 balls. Injuries didn't help West Indies.

Clarke is the Man of the Match for his half-century and three wickets.

Thats it from Brydon, scorer Raju and myself tonight. Do come back and see us for game three on June 29 at 09:30 local, 13:30 GMT. This is Jamie Alter signing off. Cheers!

  • Ponting fined for dissent

    Ricky Ponting's 300th one-day international produced an Australian win but it ended on a slightly sour note for him personally after he was fined for showing dissent at an umpire's decision

  • Deputies give Ponting a day to remember

    Ricky Ponting is accustomed to leading from the front and playing mammoth innings in his milestone matches but in his 300th ODI it was his two most senior assistants who got Australia over the line

  • Australia hammer undisciplined Windies

    Michael Hussey and Michael Clarke showed West Indies how to apply themselves on a difficult pitch but their hosts ignored the lesson and threw away wickets when the going got tough, handing Australia a comprehensive 63-run Duckworth/Lewis win
