West Indies vs Australia, 2nd T20I

2.1
Akeal Hosein to Mitchell Marsh, FOUR, thumped, Akeal continues to be expensive - dragged short by Akeal, Marsh picks the length earlt, swivels across and hammers the pull over mid-wicket, one bounce and over the ropes

3.3
Holder to Mitchell Marsh, SIX, to long-off nicely played, change of pace from Holder, was the slower ball, but there's plenty of width on offer - Marsh waits on it and then carves it high over mid-off,s ent it sailing over the ropes for a maximum

4.6
Akeal Hosein to Mitchell Marsh, 1 run, was it a chance? Given as a run, so that'll go down as a chance - flat from Akeal, skids on and catches Marsh's inside edge on the pull, grazes Shai Hope's gloves and drops to the on-side. A half-chance at best, but West Indies need those to stick

42/1

5.1
Alzarri Joseph to Mitchell Marsh, SIX, beautifully played, short of a good length and just outside off - Marsh waits it and then drags the pull over deep backward square leg, sails over the short boundary for a 58m hit

42/2, Joseph gets Marsh!

5.3
Alzarri Joseph to Mitchell Marsh, out Caught by Shai Hope!! He's edged this one for sure, it' a massive top-edge - Shai Hope calls for the catch, runs towards square leg and then holds on with his big gloves. West Indies keeping themselves interested with timely strikes. On a length and just outside off - it wasn't there for the pull, Marsh stayed on the front-foot and then swivlled across as he looked to use Alzarri's pace, gets a steepling top-edge, high into the KIngston sky - Shai Hope had Akeal in his eyesight, but it was his clear and he ensured that he didn't drop it

Mitchell Marsh c Shai Hope b Alzarri Joseph 21(17) [4s-1 6s-2]

Gudakesh Motie, Left arm orthodox, comes into the attack
6.1
Motie to Green, 1 run, to mid-on

2 dropped catches

6.2
Motie to Josh Inglis, 3 runs, an ugly swipe, it's Andre Russell under the skier, and he's put it down - tossed up on off, drifts in and then spins away, lures Inglis into the big drive, the bat-face turned on impact and he skewed it high over cover. Russell ran back, kept his eyes on the ball and seemed to have it covered, but the ball moves away and he then can't get to it on the lunge, tips it off the palm

2 by Russell alone.

6.3
Motie to Green, no run, another chance and Motie has put it down now, West Indes can't afford to miss chances, half-chance at best, needed to stick, but it didn't - flat and on off, Green went back and drilled it to the right of the bowler, Motie got both hands and let it burst out

Looks like Motie has injured himself while going for the catch and the physio is out having a look

6.5
Motie to Green, no run, another chance and it once again goes in waste, Motie is left frustrated - lovely bit of bowling, tossed up slower around middle, drew Green into an almighty slog, spun across the right-hander and caught the edge. It went high and to Shai Hope's right, but he needed to be better, grabbed at that and shelled it, can't get around on the rebound either

6.6
Motie to Green, FOUR, , too straight from Motie, slides down low and Green helps it on its way with a fine sweep, beats short fine to his right and races away

7.6
Alzarri Joseph to Josh Inglis, FOUR, to deep backward point
7.5
Alzarri Joseph to Josh Inglis, FOUR, cheeky and four, yorker length delivery outside off - Inglis waits on it, opens the face of the bat and then runs it past the keeper, rolls away to the third man boundary

8.3
Motie to Josh Inglis, FOUR, cracking shot, dropped short by Gudakesh - Inglis makes room and then goes inside out over cover with the back-foot punch, races away to the ropes

Difference with Aussies. They pick their battles and execute to precision. That last 6 is a perfect example.
