A googly, around off. Alzarri Joseph is squared up as he looks to defend. A wicket-maiden over for Adam Zampa.

Alzarri Joseph is the new man in. Also, we did ask you if it was going to be the Hales show and guess what? IT WAS! Well, it was not exactly the Hales type of innings we are accustomed to but surely one he will cherish as he took his side over the line in a complete humdinger of a game.

OUT! BOWLED! Another one bites the dust and the Windies are in dire straits now! Zampa tosses it up, with an angle on middle and leg, it lands and spins in. It seemed like the googly. Holder is too early looks to go downtown but seems early in the shot, it goes under his bat and clips the leg pole. The pressure of dots just got to Holder.

OUT! CAUGHT! There is the big wicket Australia wanted! The Windies skipper walks back and he falls to Starc yet again. Really good change by Carey. We did feel this could be a good move and it does turn out to be a brilliant one. This is full and it is a cross-seam delivery which can be very effective on this surface and it is here. Pollard looks to drive but his mistake was he looked to drive on the up which is not a good idea on a wicket which is holding. It does stick in the surface, Pollard is through the shot, it goes uppishly to covers. Windies have half the side back in the hut now.

Starc is back! This could well be a good decision by Carey!

Full on middle. Pollard pushes it to long on for one.

Darted on the pads, clipped to mid-wicket.

On middle. Pollard misses his flick and gets hit on the pads. The ball lobs to the first slip.

Who will walk out now? It is going to be Jason Holder.

OUT! TAKEN! Bravo now departs! Agar gets his second. Really not sure if this was the right shot at the moment. Maybe his eyes just lit up with the ball being tossed up. It lands just outside off. Bravo looks to go over long on with the turn but the ball holds in the surface. He is through the shot and hence, it goes more off the outer half high up in the air towards cover-point where Josh Philippe takes an easy catch. Windies slip further.

Tosses it up on off, Bravo defends it.

Very full and on middle. Bravo eases it to long on for a single.

Again Bravo flicks this one to mid-wicket.

Flatter on middle. Bravo clips it to mid-wicket.

DRINKS! All Australia so far! However, it was Windies who started off decently but after Lewis walked off the field, they have lost three wickets in no time and the runs aren't coming too. They need the two out there to form a stand. Also, the good news for them is Lewis has passed all the concussion test and is available to bat but will still be under observation. Australia on the other hand, will want to keep taking wickets as batting second will be even tougher.

A maiden then by Turner! Shorter and outside off, this is slapped hard to covers.

Flatter and on middle, Pollard pushes it back to the bowler.

Kieron Pollard walks out to bat.

OUT! TIMBER! That is a complete error in judgment by Pooran! A brain-fade one can say. Really not sure what he was doing there. This is tossed up nicely, it does drift back in from outside off. Lands just outside off and instead of turning away, goes on with the angle. Pooran probably felt it would turn away, puts in a big stride forward and lets it go. This one though hits the off stump as there is no turn. The hero of the last game walks back quickly. Windies in big trouble.

Really full again and on off, Pooran pushes it to covers.

Well, if this slow approach from the Windies is something you are not enjoying, you can switch tabs and catch all the action from the 100. The home side there is chasing just over 130 and have lost Short, Root and Malan. Is it going to be the Hales show?

Shimron Hetmyer hops and looks to push at it but gets an inside edge and it hits the stumps behind. Hetmyer is gutted with himself. He could have so easily left that. He went after it, played it away from his body and pays the price. Hazlewood is rewarded for his excellent bowling so far.

We are all set for the action to begin! The Australian players make their way out to the middle. Now, the Windies openers, Shai Hope and Evin Lewis also stride out. Mitchell Starc has the first new ball in hand. Here we go...

Alex Carey says that it is a series final and we are excited. Says that the T20s didn't go very well but they are looking forward to this game. Informs they have quite a few changes.

Kieron Pollard says that the sun is out and also because of the nature of the wicket he wants to bat first. Informs the change that Jason Mohamood is out. Says that they all have roles and responsibilities and if he needs to bowl for the team he is ready. Says that playing cricket is an opportunity, we will come out and win and all achievements will come with it.

So the Windies have just the one change! Jason Mohammed makes way for Hetmyer! Australia do have a few changes, Hazlewood comes back in for Meredith! Agar too makes way for his brother Ashton which means Australia are going in with two spinners and two pacers. Christian finds a place in the side too. So he with Marsh will probably bowl the quota of 10.

Australia (PLAYING XI) - Moises Henriques, Josh Philippe, Mitchell Marsh, Alex Carey (C) (WK), Ashton Turner, Matthew Wade, Dan Christian, Ashton Agar, Mitchell Starc, Adam Zampa, Josh Hazlewood.

West Indies (PLAYING XI) - Evin Lewis, Shai Hope (WK), Shimron Hetmyer, Darren Bravo, Nicholas Pooran, Kieron Pollard (C), Jason Holder, Alzarri Joseph, Hayden Walsh, Akeal Hosein, Sheldon Cottrell.

TOSS - West Indies have won the toss and have ELECTED TO BAT! Quite strange to be honest! They won the last game chasing but batting first is a lot easier than batting second. Interesting to see if it does work for them.

With all the T20I action and 100 ball action going on, we now turn our attention to the longest white ball format which is the 50-over game and a game of high importance. The winner takes it all! It is the decider, the third ODI between Australia and the Windies. After being battered in the first game, the Windies returned the favor as they leveled the series in style. Can they put in another similar performance or are we going to see the Aussies take away this series? We will find out. Stay tuned for the toss in a bit.
