Andre Russell walks out to a guard of honour from both teams. He's then greeted by the Minsiter of sport and culture, Mrs Olivia Grange, and she presents him with a massive momento. Warm applause from the crowd as Russell poses for pictures with the momento.

They've taken drinks with the game well poised. Brandon King's rapid fifty gave West Indies a great start, but back-to-back wickets have helped Australia pull things back. There's spin, grip and turn for the spinners, so might not be a 200 wicket as one suspected

Andre Russell, right handed bat, comes to the crease

WI 98/5 (13.5) CRR: 7.08


Dre Russ walks out to a loud cheer. Powell also walks across to greet him. This will be his last innings for the West Indies.. Can he play the rescue act one final time?

Zampa to Russell, 1 run, low full toss outside off, Russell drills it to sweeper cover and retains strike

Dwarshuis to Russell, SIX, Russell wasting no time - pumps his second ball over the rope. Angled across him and there was room on offer, he extends his hands and launches it down the ground. 77-meter six..

The ball seems to have into some hole near the sightscreen.big grin

Dwarshuis to Russell, SIX, back to back sixes. Not where he intended but Russell will take that. 127.8ks short of length delivery and Russell is rushed on the pull, gets a thick top-edge and the ball sails over fine leg


14.4
Dwarshuis to Russell, SIX, this is classic Russell. It was in the slot alright but still had to be put away. Lenght delivery around off, Russell clears his front leg and launches it over deep mid-wicket. 84-meter six but it has gone out of the ground.. Replacement ball coming out

Nathan Ellis to Russell, out Caught by Josh Inglis!! Josh Inglis looks relieved. The ball went miles up and kept swirling, Inglis called for it and he never took his eyes off the ball, manages to hold on. David walks across to shake Russell's hand, Maxwell follows and soon the rest of the Australia team. Russell raises his bat and walks off to a grand ovation from the Jamaica crowd. Slower delivery around off, Russell looks to mow it down the ground but is deceived for the pace, skies it straight up and Inglis calls for it

Russell c Josh Inglis b Nathan Ellis 36(15) [4s-2 6s-4]

Akeal Hosein to Mitchell Marsh, 2 runs, just wide of Russell at cover-point - was pushed through around off and Marsh backed away on the cut, hit it uppishly and to the right of the fielder. Russell dived, got both hands and plams it away

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

Russell to Josh Inglis, FOUR, Inglis wants to get this over with quickly. Slower back of a length delivery, Inglis lined-up for the scoop and he had to delay his shot,
11.3
Russell to Josh Inglis, wide, 133.9ks strays down leg, Inglis misses the glance and it is called a wide

11.2
Russell to Josh Inglis, FOUR, oh my! This is incredible. Not a bad delivery and almost travels the distance. Very full and close to yorker length, Inglis bends down and reverse laps it over short third, just bounces inside the rope

11.1
Russell to Josh Inglis, SIX, Russell greeted with a massive six. Fifty for Inglis. He's got there in just 22 balls. Full and right in the slot, Inglis does not need a second invite in this kind of form, he pumps it with a clean strike over long-off and it is one of the biggest of the night - 98 meters. The umpires call for a replacement.. Meanwhile, Shai Hope is having a word with Russell
