- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR3.6 Nicked off! Pitched up, swings away at 133ks, Athanaze tries driving through cover and feathers it to the keeper. Athanaze played for the inswing, took a small stride towards middle and off and had to reach out for the drive. Bartlett surprised him and has both openers. 17/21.3 Pitches up and rattles off stump! Bartlett off the mark. Outswinger angles in before swerving away late, Greaves didn't move his feet and got squared up as he tried to drive through mid-on. Playing the line doesn't work for him. Pace - 130.9ks 6/140.6 And Carty is run out for 88! A length ball around off. Walsh pushes it towards extra cover and sets off. Carty was slow to take off but there was never a single there to start with. Carty's only chance was if Abbott missed his direct hit. He didn't and Carty's brilliant innings comes to an unfortunate end 193/69.5 Flashes, edges to slip. Bartlett has three in the powerplay. Wide on a fullish length, 129ks, huge away swing. Hope threw his hands at it, tried flaying over cover, the back foot went across upon impact. But the movement had the ball hit bat on the toe rather than in the middle. Catch to Short at first slip came around shoulder-height. 37/315.2 Green strikes! Was on the fuller side of good length, in the line of the stumps. Hodge looks to go aerial but fails to middle it and mid-on takes a step or two back to gobble it up 59/436.3 Bowled round the legs! 83ks, very full, landed on leg, Chase got inside the line and tried playing it along the ground. The ball landed as Chase swept, he probably expected it to turn but it went straight and hit leg stump. Video analysis shows Zampa slowed the pace down for this ball after bowling around 90ks the last two balls. 169/548.4 Labuschagne makes amends with an excellent catch. Walsh charges at the short ball and pulls it to the right of deep midwicket. Labuschagne sprints to his right and puts in the slide to pouch it with both hands. And that also means no debut five-for for Bartlett 231/1041.2 and given lbw. The batter wants to review it. Was a full-length ball that came in with the angle. Shepherd was looking to flick it but missed and got hit on the pads. No inside edge and the ball-tracking shows it would hit middle and leg 194/746.2 down the track and launches this length ball towards deep midwicket. But he gets more height than distance and Hardie takes it reverse cups, well inside the boundary line 222/847.1 short of length around off. Motie goes for the big hit but ends up miscuing it. An easy catch for mid-off and a fourth wicket for Bartlett 226/9Extras11 (lb 5, nb 1, w 5)TOTAL231 all out (48.4 Overs, RR: 4.74)Fall of wickets: 1-6 (Justin Greaves, 1.3 ov), 2-17 (Alick Athanaze, 3.6 ov), 3-37 (Shai Hope, 9.5 ov), 4-59 (Kavem Hodge, 15.2 ov), 5-169 (Roston Chase, 36.3 ov), 6-193 (Keacy Carty, 40.6 ov), 7-194 (Romario Shepherd, 41.2 ov), 8-222 (Matthew Forde, 46.2 ov), 9-226 (Gudakesh Motie, 47.1 ov), 10-231 (Hayden Walsh, 48.4 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR0.5 Loose ball nicks Head off. Wide on a shortish length, Head crouched a bit and tried to carve it square. The ball bounced more than he expected and he feathered it. The wide-of-the-crease angle from around the wicket works for Forde. 4/111.3 Appeal for caught. Not given. West Indies have a chat, Hope reviews. Inglis shaking his head as players wait for the replay. But is that a give or am I reading too much into it? Hotspot shows it did actually pop right off the glove! He has to go and walks back in frustration. Was a loopy full ball at 83ks, Inglis went for the hard reverse, the bat jammed into the ground after missing the ball and it then ballooned off the glove. Motie bowled that real slow and was angling it just down leg. 83/2Extras7 (lb 1, w 6)TOTAL232/2 (38.3 Overs, RR: 6.02)Fall of wickets: 1-4 (Travis Head, 0.5 ov), 2-83 (Josh Inglis, 11.3 ov)
