00:00and so we come to the spice isle of grenada here for the second test between the west indies and
00:16australia with all to play for australia one up in this three test match series well there you have
00:23it folks the news from out in the middle australia they've won the toss and they've decided to bat
00:27first magnificent weather conditions and these are the two teams one change for the westernies
00:34anderson phillip the right hand fast bowler comes into the side and for the australians
00:44sieve smith the prolific right-handed batter goes out of that first test because of injury and now
00:51you'll bolster that batting lineup so picturesque this ground here in grenada just adjacent to the
01:01ocean left of screen there is a little bit of sea movement as expected this surface here lush
01:18with an even covering of grass tinge of green as well
01:31pulled aggressively in front of square that's four more real intent and real statement there from
01:39constance well it's a beautiful shot that will give sam constance a lot of
01:52just getting into his innings a lot of confidence in shamar joseph straight away going back and having
01:59a look at the crease so he might have just slipped the fraction but constance was alert enough to pounce on
02:04it landmark achieved six thousand runs in test match cricket falseman kwadja the 16th australian player to
02:16do so congratulations well without loss
02:24oh no pitcher for delivery there one and about that off stump and a little extra bounce and it just
02:31went away from the right hander
02:37yeah angling in and then just shaping away so that's a
02:43root of a delivery just a little bit of extra bounce
02:52the inside edge just away from she who
02:55wants us will get four
03:05i mentioned a bit of luck it seems to be going the australians way at the moment there was
03:11a bottom edge i think the shot was on obviously just didn't bounce as much as he thought and it's gone
03:17reasonably close to the stumps
03:23came in
03:26he's doing a little too much to entice the empire
03:31a good element of surprise from seals
03:33yeah just coming back in straight away shea hope the keeper
03:45suggesting it was going down leg so really only a half an appeal from the west indians and no
03:50referral but yeah he's showing his skill here can swing it both ways very very impressive this young man
03:57not sure that any hand was laid on that but not a control shot from sam constas but four important runs
04:14teams
04:17and shima joseph wouldn't mind seeing this
04:24edged
04:27just over the arms
04:31of roston chase
04:34fortuitous
04:40that's very confident
04:44that is a very confident boosting shot 30 without loss
04:53he's greeted with a boundary as well
04:56this time off the bat of kawaja
05:05yeah just waited kawaja picked up the length
05:08and knew exactly where he wanted to score
05:16a good pivot as well the rotation of the hip
05:25two very good pull shots from kawaja but two deliveries that are neither here nor there
05:31from alzari joseph to start his spell
05:36just looking for that rhythm alzari joseph
05:43missed his length on two occasions
05:47both occasions kawaja has dismissed him for four runs
05:53it might be leg buys but again joseph struggling with his line it is leg buys
06:14he is swinging quite a lot that delivery but again just needs to start possibly a bit more
06:27on the off stop
06:32how close is that
06:35finger goes up
06:37they'll talk about a review i think constance is thinking height
06:42they do review it
06:47third empire to director we have a player review for lbw
06:52original decision is out i have checked the feed it's a pair delivery front on spin vision please
07:10okay ball is very close to the bat can we have ultra edge please
07:12okay keep it going please clear gap between bat and ball clear gap between bat and ball okay no bat involved ball tracking please
07:28here it comes
07:31pitching outside of impact in line wickets umpire's call thank you i'll go back to richard on film
07:37richard you can stay with your decision you're on screen now you can signal out
07:43your decision upheld
07:46musman kawaja has to depart for 16 from 29 and he's pick up there first in 47 for one
07:54you can come on green the new batter
08:03average of 83.31
08:09very good very good from anderson phillips
08:13and again we talked about not reaching
08:16to the line and sometimes the length
08:19that was on the cards from sam constance
08:26now one wicket brings another but again the channel just leaving the batter
08:34learn him into the shot sam constance
08:38and anderson phillips picks up the wicket
08:40and then he's going to be able to go back to the back of the wicket
08:45and then he's going to go back to the back of the wicket
08:49now constance goes for 25 from 37
08:52australia loses second on 47
08:58now let's look at that average 56.56
09:01the best of 239 steve smith
09:10yeah that's in the air anderson phillips settles anderson phillips
09:15takes the catch
09:18and zary joseph wickets in consecutive overs for him
09:22and it's the big fish
09:25the wicket of steve smith unsettled
09:27momentarily before he has to go
09:37short ball
09:39and taking it on quite early steve smith top edge
09:43a little settling from anderson phillips it looks like an easy catch
09:48but having an awareness of where you are in relation to the rope was very important
09:52it's a massive wicket of steve smith 50 for three australia
09:57the play of the match in the first test of course
10:03how do you cancel the novel
10:06twin half centuries there in what
10:09proved to be difficult batting conditions the match ended
10:12inside three days 40 wickets falling
10:15stays wrong the wicket joseph
10:17one of the marks straight away 51 for three
10:28edge then taken is it well there is a a massive appeal no interest from the umpire
10:36and i don't think that they are looking to review so it was a confident shout might just have been
10:46the back thigh
10:51the timer has gone so
10:52no opportunity no for dismissal but it did seem confident initially
11:03that is extremely close
11:09i would say the way it went to the keeper it definitely said back thigh
11:14to the way almost looped to him
11:19this also looks it looks close enough that could have brushed the edge on the way
11:29yeah that will challenge the boundary well timed
11:32and so quickly puts that previous delivery
11:35behind him and focuses on the other such an important part of button and gets a boundary
11:46well player by cam green like the area in which he hit it as well
11:50then go across it still a straight back but through wide mid-wicket wide mid-arm
11:57one
12:0461 for three
12:09that's a huge shot did it do too much that's the question
12:13and i suppose that's the rationale from umpire kettleborough and there'll be some discussion again
12:20are they taking it rust and chase seem loath to take the review it's been a good decision previously
12:31is this another good one we'll do some inspection of our own but certainly some inward movement from azari
12:40good length as well but the angle from around the wicket
12:46and swinging i think worked against alzari look good
12:56he probably wanted it reviewed on the basis of that reaction
13:02it's so important carlos and viewers to get the own field call how many times have we seen it
13:09we're down to umpire school
13:16on to that one quickly
13:26very good from cameron green i think he's looked a lot better in this game than compared to the first test match
13:34batting at number three another short delivery and he picked the length up really well
13:44i guess the question is is alzari going to go searching back into frontage of a good length or into a good length
13:50does go full nice punch back to back boundaries to end the over for cam green 73 for three
14:01oh goodness oh goodness what could have happened there if seals had picked it up
14:12and hit the stumps yeah that would have been extremely tight and it's just those little
14:18opportunities that you feel what the west indies have got to take a little bit more often
14:22it was pushed firmly and there if he picks it up clean and gets rid of it
14:28and there's a direct hit that would have been really close you would feel
14:33just like shemar did starts two straight at travis head that's gone all the way for four this time
14:46yeah i spoke about travis head and always looking to score and
14:57often a batter will try and target a bowler early in his spell and i think travis head
15:04wanted to put the pressure straight back on seals
15:07early in this spell that wasn't actually a bad ball that was off middle stump
15:12down again to the beach it was absolutely brilliant monkeys and waterfalls went for a swim
15:21so first time i've been to grenada a couple of times but that was the first time i'd had a
15:26good chance to have a look around and we had a great day what an island
15:31they've been able to score relatively quickly in this session though australia the rate is over
15:44four and over in terms of run scoring
15:50there's that little bit of outswing again from shemar joseph but too much width and those big levers
15:58cameron green
16:02had a really good start
16:03oh dropped it oh my goodness that was straightforward
16:12john campbell and i don't want to hear no catches easy i've played enough cricket to know there are
16:17some simple ones
16:21spot on and it's cameron green who's really looking comfortable at the moment too he's
16:29starting to get more confident and then when you're presented with a catch like that please
16:38it's not like it was hit really firmly it was
16:41just to the field is right hand side both hands and that is you're right bish that's the sitter
16:51this time john campbell will be the most relieved man on the field
16:57again it's driving again it's reaching for cam green brilliant from seals to keep the ball up there
17:05the tall figure of roston chase holds on sorrow has turned into joy see that's lateral movement that's
17:18a similar length that we talked about with green
17:25definitely the west indian session as green goes for 26
17:29it's so while runs have come in the session at a pace over four and over
17:38wickets have just tilted it in favor of the west indies in this session
17:45australia with constance getting to 25 kawaja to 16 26 degrees so guys got starts apart from smith
17:54to return after missing the first test match travis head that was still there in 17 and ever-present danger
18:06the bowling led by their senior alzari joseph with two for 20. he didn't start his first few deliveries as
18:13he would like but got better the wicket to anderson phillip
18:17getting rid of constance and seeds now picking up green in not unfamiliar fashion
18:26on the cusp of lunch
18:31bo webston his short career has played a few important knocks
18:35average of 43 350s memorable one in the first test as well
18:40very close very close indeed travis head so quick to respond
18:58yeah good awareness from travis head realizing the back spin of the ball not sure i've had enough
19:04pasted the stump he wasn't testing fit got the back down just in time
19:15more runs firm push that will go into the boundary line so more confidence from travis head
19:29always keeping the game moving travis head
19:34a delightful drive
19:39beautifully timed brings the 100 up for australia
19:50good hands very good hands will bring four so low wrist stroke from bo webster and he gets moving
20:04yeah he loves to drive he loves that offside area
20:10a bit technically through that area as well on this occasion letting it come
20:15he goes past the eyes into the turf the rice smile from anerson phillip but well played from bo
20:21webster
20:25this will be four more just getting a little too straight on that occasion shemar joseph
20:31and there is a one-hander she hope didn't celebrate straight away
20:58but on first look of things he looked as though he's got it cleanly
21:07empires will converge and have a chat and richard cattleborough goes for the review
21:15third umpire 2 director we have a umpire review for fair catch i've checked the feed it's a fair delivery
21:25can we start with the front on screen vision plus
21:28okay it's clearly off the bat uh can we go to the catch please gavin
21:45yes keep it going yeah just rock and roll once rock and roll once
22:02yes keep it going please keep it going i can see the fingers underneath the ball yes let him complete
22:07the catch keep it going please gavin let him complete the catch
22:15yeah just keep it going i want to see the completion let him go let him go
22:21okay fingers are still underneath thank you i'm ready with my decision for the big screen
22:25out is the call and the west indians they'll celebrate another wicket
22:36she hope behind the stumps we spoke about shemar joseph not intervening in this test match with the
22:42wicket well here it is important wicket of travis head
22:47a solid 29 from him australia 110 for five
22:57alex carried a new batter
23:02pulled in front of square
23:06nice intent from curry straight away ends the over with a four 114 for five
23:17some flaying that one from alex scary second boundary of his innings
23:30beautiful scary lots to love about the shot almost just slashing
23:40got there to his weight back
23:47well for the chance of the non-strikers and derek that is gone
23:55missed it confusion kira
23:59it was well that ends well for australia hello stacy
24:03just a bit of excitement out in the middle
24:07he whipped into the legs head with really good work from shaman joseph
24:10the bull in his stride so couldn't get back
24:18definitely needed a direct hit
24:25a huge shot more from behind the wicket than from in front
24:31i don't know where city is no important this partnership is it was defining in the first test
24:38so they'll be desperate to break this partnership and get into the bowlers
24:46and the angle from wrong the wicket is going to be difficult
24:50for him to get that decision with that length in particular mikhail louis on the field
24:56really expertly played by alex carey he has a penchant for that particular stroke advancing down
25:12the picture and just holding his sheep 129 for five
25:16here's some bounce down the leg side buys signal
25:31it starts with an errant line and dispatched for four
25:35i think this has been the story of the day before the west indian bowlers
25:48when they start this spell and they tend to just be a bit wayward
25:54he just helped along carrie
25:56good timing this one will dribble away to the boundary from bo webster a good end to the oval
26:09150 comes up for australia
26:16and that's going to be four it might be leg buys just a weak confirmation yes it is
26:20so from wrong the wicked angle taking it further down for more
26:31that is the angle just helped on its way from carrie
26:37it's finer so the fiender has no chance of getting around
26:42through the gap and four so this partnership continues to grow it's now 49
26:58small win for the west indies they've gone a bit straighter and it's from the outside edge from that
27:04straight line unfortunately extra feeders in the legs side to compensate
27:10outside joseph will take heart from being able to bore that line
27:17create an opportunity crush upon the cusp of 50 and in quick time only off 60 balls
27:28he's done it again he's not doing it to alzari joseph who's the quickest of the west indian
27:33bowlers but for all of us he's down the track 163 for five
27:40it's a good 50 partnership the highest partnership of beginnings so far 69 balls for 53
27:46all the way all the way all the way all the way all the way over the boundaries of this
27:59impressive partnership continues to grow
28:01the victim's attempt to roll his wrist on it it's a healthy top edge if it was
28:18the driving of webster in a couple of innings in this series has been quite imperious
28:32a good awareness of where he wants to strike how he wants to strike when it comes together it's beautiful
28:50just out of his reach might have been samar joseph jiden seals actually
29:03marginally away from it hello great blue
29:08nearly the breakthrough that they're after alex carey just got a finger on it
29:15he's got a little bit too full for alex carey and he's trying to get over mid-wicket
29:27now that's in the air not as controlled as he would have liked but quite deliberate
29:33in what he was trying to do another boundary for carey 191 for five
29:45so yeah we like his great mate travis here they just always looking to score
29:55i don't want the game just to go idle saw the width and just threw his hands at it
30:06now this should go for four
30:08really well played by bo webster just using the pace and angle of the delivery another boundary to
30:18australia a nice touch there by bo webster so where i'm going with that really in these conditions i
30:27feel like if you're batting in the top three or four it's got to be that sort of bit of old-fashioned
30:33test cricket where the bowling attack down
30:46that's well placed you know there are two fielders in the deep
30:50one backward square one fine leg and it bisected them both perfectly
30:58that's the 200 up for australia
31:00so going at a very good run rate loose delivery and bo webster is able to
31:09put those loose ones away good batting from bo and he just continues to impress
31:20dropped short delivery from philip gets the edge she who cannot hold on
31:30it was a ramp shot that went awry but he survives two or three for five
31:48his hands just crossed over
31:52looking to glide it over the slips got a really thin edge
31:56just burst through the gloves unfortunately for the winnies are just searching for this breakthrough
32:08gets the edge but in the gap
32:1050 for alex carey his 13th 50 plus score on his third against the westernese his second in succession
32:23rich vein of form in 2025 and it continues for the wicketkeeper battle
32:29and that is t on day one 209 for five
32:38very good session for the australians just lost the one wicket that of travis head got a very good delivery
32:50and that bounced and left in but this partnership now between alex carey and bo webster
32:5799 of just 130 deliveries so 116 runs scored in that session by the australians and they are in a very good position
33:08direction in this test match so australian winning the toss selecting the bat starts for
33:16most of the aussie batters apart from stephen smith he went for three
33:20and it's dominated so far by that partnership as you can see right on 100 99 of 130 deliveries
33:36and they'll continue on after this tea break
33:45west indians an extra bowler philip is playing in this test match 12 overs one for 46 got a decent
33:51breakthrough two wickets to alzari joseph who was good early and samara joseph's one wicket and seals one wicket
34:00the state cnn and viewers uh mercenese will have a look at uh alex gary scored most of his runs
34:24he did speak about his ability to advance and drive down the ground scored a fair amount of runs behind
34:32square two with offside and late side
34:40that's a century run partnership that was another opportunity for the west indians to secure a wicket
34:46throw not accurate miscommunication between the two batters
34:57he just played into the leg side and just having a look at the ball carrie
35:02yeah i think he himself thought that's it for me
35:15another outside edge goes wide up the field lane that slip cordon 100 partnership comes up but not
35:24convincing
35:27move 13 for five
35:30here living on the edge playing at this delivery and not in control but just too wide of roston chase
35:38100 100 100 partnership comes up between this pair
35:54goes short into the vacant lakeside region totally contrary to what was expected from justin graves
36:08yeah the plan is to pull across the left-handed batter to possibly bring those two slip into play
36:16but gets too straight and it's pulled
36:20for a maximum
36:28straight to the fielder the breakthrough comes good to see justin graves
36:33a weak pull shots a weak pull shot gets rid of carrie
36:40and he'll be disappointed in carrie
36:44a short length delivery
36:47and came up high on his back
36:50made for doozy catching before craig brathwick
36:54and the breakthrough is made that 112 run partnership is broken
37:00running scary goes to 63 australia 222
37:09skipper pat cummings strides to the middle
37:12and he chucked on a little bit of inward movement again
37:19the webs are trying to force dsu 226 for six
37:27thumped christley for a four that's pat cummings for you
37:32the over pitched from justin graves and pat cummings will
37:45absolutely not miss out on scoring on the half volley
37:48get his fourth 15 test match cricket and it's a good record actually
38:04consecutive half centuries coming out of barbados
38:07and he's only in his sixth test match
38:16six thousand first class run so he's playing a really good part in australia's journey in recent matches
38:25and that's a good indication of the talent
38:34comments with the bat
38:36sorry may just be getting himself loose with that jump to come into the attack
38:43yeah he has some button pedigree let's look at the way he plays at this stroke
38:47yeah batters loves that drive past the bowler really good timing
38:57good extension there good technique
39:05still some lateral movement to be hard off this surface
39:09fortuitous though for cummings two four six six
39:13he has his man that short ball certainly set things up i don't know if that one bounced as much
39:26and it was certainly effective
39:30it was almost as if pat cummings was looking to jump under this one initially have a look here
39:36oh that one didn't bounce at all not much he can do there pat cummings
39:45this is the variability in bounce and the uncertainty that these players have been speaking about
39:52he goes for 17 247 for seven
39:57mitch stark replaces his skipper pat cummings
40:06not where stark intended but he'll get four
40:12250 comes up 251 for seven
40:18he has his man and stark goes it was an indeterminate push
40:23and seal strikes pumping those numbers up ever more
40:28yeah that plan from wrong the wicked good seam position and a tickle through so we could keep us she hope
40:40exceptional stuff no send off this time from jaydon seals
40:46and he'll take the single because after this delivery there's only one
41:02delivery left so i'm not sure whether the west indies got that one right
41:19they probably thought they over started over
41:21oh that's a that's a full toss that's gone for four thick edge
41:37back in back in back in back in back in back in back in back in back in back in
41:43naughty front toss must be close to have been in the ball
41:49but nathan lyon just showing ball webster how to get boundaries
41:52he thinks he can get two but if the fielding's good should be out should be out good throw good fielding
42:05bro webster trying to get back on strike and he is one out
42:12third umpire to director we have umpire review for run out at the striker's end can we have the sidon
42:18replay piece okay the battery is well short of the ground thank you i'm ready with my decision
42:30for the big screen yeah miles out good
42:36building by the west indies
42:41casey cardi the fielder very well done well played by bo webster as well
42:45made a beautiful 60. 267 for ninth josh hazelwood batting at number 11 for australia in his normal
42:54position
42:58loves giving himself a little bit of room josh hazelwood two more to the total
43:06more inside edge and more runs to the aussies
43:09she's not happy it's not much azari could have done medalli
43:19well ball he's gone full he's trying to push him back
43:22gone a bit fuller and taking the inside edge
43:26oh now where's that hit josh hazelwood he looks like he's okay i thought it for a second it might
43:37have got him on the elbow
43:42must have got him on that arm guard
43:49there isn't much skin available he's got the arm guard chest guard elongated typo tall pods helmet
43:59just about everything look at the samurai warrior
44:07they played
44:14more runs it'll be leg buys but it's four more to the total
44:18one shot that's clearly glove and confirmed by the umpire so alzari joseph picks up the last wicket
44:32and leads this bowling effort for the west indians he finishes on four for 61 what an effort from the
44:39the senior statesman in this bowling lineup and finally finally the west indians close the innings out
44:51now the crowd in full support and australian wickets have been taken
45:00with a short rising delivery at lions and just gloves it into the wicket keeper
45:05a really good effort from the west indian ballers
45:15and led by alzari joseph with his four for 61. after the australians batted so well
45:24confirmation that there was starts at the top that opening partnership of 47 looked threatening
45:30before alzari joseph got the wicket of usman kuwaja then wicked stumble they finish at lunch
45:38on 93 for four the australians roared back with 116 runs good to see half centuries uh from webster and
45:50from alex kerry
