Transcript
00:00Now we are ready for day two of this second test between the West Indies and Australia.
00:17Yes, we welcome you to the Grenada National Cricket Stadium.
00:20Absolute pleasure to be here and to witness yesterday what we saw from a bowling perspective on a surface here that was encouraging.
00:28It meant that Australia, in choosing to bat first and winning the toss, were dismissed for 286.
00:35The West Indies did not start or begin their first innings response because of bad lights.
00:44There we go, first ball on day two.
00:53Did have the chance of looking at the surface before the start of the day's play.
00:57Again, not a lot of diverts from those 66.5 overs on day one.
01:08Just a little bit of wear and tear from the bowlers' foot marks.
01:11But still, very even in terms of that covering of grass and root structure.
01:16Going after it, first ball, John Campbell, as we've seen throughout the course of this test series, gets four.
01:34Still not advised, but at least he threw his hands at it.
01:53How long can he resist the urge?
01:55And Josh Hazelwood making no mistakes.
02:06So, Greg Brathwaite doesn't trouble the scorers in his 100th test match.
02:13Yeah, just a good length.
02:21Not sure if that held in the cricket, but it seemed like a drive.
02:26A good grab, low down by Josh Hazelwood.
02:33Brathwaite gone for none.
02:34West Indies 7-4-1.
02:35Gissicati hit at number three for the West Indies.
02:43Not the ideal start for the West Indies on this second day morning session.
02:49And through that slip region, one score all along the ground, John Campbell, flirting with danger, that gets away.
03:05They will play shots, John Campbell.
03:08Not sure if it's advised, no ball, upside-off stump, airy-fairy, but it's all along the ground.
03:15Not out, says the umpire.
03:26Adrian Holstock, there is a discussion.
03:29You might just want to go for the review.
03:36And the review is taken.
03:38Over to you, Nitin Menon.
03:44Not umpire to director.
03:45We have a player review for LBW.
03:49Original decision is not out.
03:50I have checked the feat.
03:51It's a fair delivery.
03:52Front on spin vision, please.
03:59Ball is very close to the bat.
04:01Can we have ultrash, please?
04:07Just keep it going, please.
04:08Yeah, just one frame back and roll again, please, Gavin.
04:12Okay, clear gap between bat and ball.
04:14Yes, keep it going, please.
04:15Clear gap between bat and ball.
04:17No bat involved.
04:17Ball tracking, please.
04:24Fishing outside off.
04:25Impact in line.
04:26Wickets missing.
04:27I'll go back to Adrian on field.
04:29Adrian, you can stay with your decision.
04:32You're on screen now.
04:33You can signal, not out.
04:34Glove, luckily, beyond the wicket-keeper and into the boundary for four.
04:45Four more for the West Indies.
04:46I was eventful when John Campbell is at the crease.
04:57This occasion, a short ball.
04:59And it's scary.
05:00Look, interested.
05:03Well, if only for a moment.
05:05Sounded really good.
05:11Goes all the way.
05:12So that's a statement from Campbell.
05:14I'm going to get an opportunity like this.
05:25Short.
05:26And he absolutely climbs into it.
05:28No intention to keep it down.
05:32No one is out there.
05:33I'll take full runs on offer.
05:38And it's gone a mile.
05:39Move the umpire.
05:48Going down the leg side.
05:49Yep.
05:50Adjuster from Pat Cummings.
05:53Indicates such.
05:54You want to put these away, though, John Campbell, though.
06:14Half volley on leg stump.
06:16Pushed down the leg side on the angle where Mitchell starts.
06:19So not quite challenging.
06:21Those are the ones you want to capitalize on.
06:23When you're facing a barrage of good bowling.
06:30Clever down the ground.
06:32He was ready for it.
06:35So much conviction in that stroke.
06:3935 for one.
06:44Wonder if he expected a short ball, but...
06:47Give it a proper lash down the ground.
06:50John Campbell.
06:51He's more than a runner-up ball.
06:54Going to 30.
06:55Difficult.
06:59Oh, that looks as it's a brilliant catch.
07:02Absolutely terrific from the Australian captain.
07:06The umpires may want to see it again and to confirm, but it is an athletic effort of the highest class.
07:17As soon as I saw the inside edge, I thought, where's the short leg?
07:21As soon as I saw the inside edge, I thought, where's the short leg?
07:23We have an umpire review for a fair catch.
07:25I have checked the pitch.
07:26I have checked the pitch.
07:27It's a fair delivery.
07:28Can we start with front-on spin vision, please, first?
07:30I need to check the ball hitting the bat first.
07:32Okay, it is clearly off the bat.
07:43Yeah, please roll it through to the catch, Gavin.
07:45Yeah, looks like fingers are underneath the ball.
07:53Uh, just show me opposite angle once, Gavin.
07:55I want to confirm again.
07:58Yes.
08:04Fingers are underneath.
08:05Yes, keep it rolling.
08:06Let him finish.
08:08Okay, yeah.
08:09Ready with my decision for the big screen.
08:10Well, it should be out.
08:15Decision pending.
08:16There it is.
08:17There's confirmation.
08:18And that is a fantastic piece of work from Paddy Cummins.
08:24Six foot five, and the athleticism on show.
08:28Gone for six.
08:29It's 40 for two.
08:33Brandon King.
08:34Joined his Jamaican counterpart, John Campbell.
08:5044 for two.
08:54That's what he likes.
08:55That's a top shot for a few runs.
08:58Jeez, he's really troubled with that ball coming back into him.
09:17So, I think he's got a fair idea how Pat Cummins is trying to dismiss him.
09:23He's going to target his stumps.
09:26And then, he's just going to, as Pat Cummins does, he's just going to straighten the odd
09:32one, which makes it very, very difficult to face.
09:35But at the moment, a lot of these deliveries are just nipping back a fraction.
09:45More runs for Brandon King.
09:48They're trying to stay straight on bad occasion.
09:51Two straights.
09:52Maybe off the inner half of the bat.
09:56Yeah, it's an inside edge.
10:03He's trying to get it away to the leg side.
10:06But that was another inside edge, which is more evidence for the Australians on why that
10:12short leg is so important.
10:14Yeah, the field in the deep didn't pick it up at all.
10:22And so, the ball dribbles into the boundary.
10:26Constance down there.
10:27Yeah, you can see from his reaction that he picked it up quite late.
10:32In fact, not early enough to avoid the boundary.
10:35John Campbell, he's been pretty good so far.
10:44Picking up the length, knowing which deliveries to play at.
10:47And having said that, he just gives his wicket away.
11:01It's the sixth time now that he's been dismissed in the 40s.
11:06After looking so comfortable and composed, a brain fade from Campbell.
11:16Here, was this necessary?
11:19Made the movement, the initial movement to score on the leg side.
11:23But it's not necessary at this phase.
11:27It's an easy catch for Mitch Stark.
11:33Now, Campbell goes for 40 from 52.
11:36Westonese lose their third on 64.
11:42Westonese captain, Ruston Chase, makes his wicket out to the middle.
11:50Oh, it's gone!
11:57Wonderful delivery from Mitchel Stark.
12:06And there's still something in the surface for these fast bowlers.
12:11We saw Hazelwood getting that lateral movement.
12:13Now, Stark didn't opt to review.
12:18Just a flap of the pad on the way through.
12:22But really hustled Ruston Chase there.
12:24And you see deliveries like that.
12:32You compare it to the one that dismissed Pat Cummins.
12:35And it's a mixed bag.
12:42It just seemed to have kicked off the surface.
12:45And came off the stickers of his bat.
12:47And that's where he's very strong.
13:01Strong offside because he stands legs out of the ball.
13:04And he's just looking for any bit of width.
13:07And credit to him that he's still looking to be positive.
13:10And coming off the line previously, Hazelwood and giving a bit of room to Branded King.
13:24And well executed.
13:25Shot again, four again from King.
13:35A couple fours in the over.
13:3978 for three.
13:40And split arms from Ruston Chase.
13:48That's his first boundary.
13:51Good so far.
13:52Nice little partnership here brewing.
13:53Yep, a couple of things in favour there for Ruston Chase was the length, but also the width.
14:05His balance was nice.
14:10Had to reach a fair way.
14:21Pulse on that one.
14:23And Brandon King just waited for that width on off-off.
14:28And the execution was great.
14:36Nice little bit of width, doesn't he?
14:38Looks like he likes to stay sort of leg side of the ball.
14:41What do I mean by that?
14:42Doesn't really go across his stumps.
14:44Just stays on around about the leg stump line.
14:46And then anything outside his eye line just likes to throw his hands at it.
14:53Flipped away.
14:57Beautifully played.
14:58That's Ruston Chase pulsing on an errant delivery.
15:061-1 for three.
15:08Well, have a bit of that.
15:14There's the 100 up for the West Indies and it's come in great style.
15:18Came out of nowhere, really.
15:20Picked it up early.
15:21Knew that it was going down the leg.
15:23Really nice hands through the ball.
15:26Good power.
15:30And King good streets.
15:33Slightly over pitch delivery from Lyon.
15:37And he helps himself to fall.
15:38Not too fazed that it's the last open for lunch.
15:45He's still happy to play shots if the ball's in his zone.
15:52Probably thinking if it's a foolish delivery from Nathan Lyon with the field up,
15:57then he's going to take him on.
15:59Changing the angle now.
16:00Rile the wickets.
16:01Oh!
16:02And sweeps well.
16:05King.
16:07So that's another boundary in the over.
16:11Runs coming easily for the West Indies.
16:20Great momentum going into the break.
16:23This will do these two the world of good.
16:26But also the rest of the dressing room to come.
16:29And he squeezes that one out for a single.
16:41So that's the end of the first session.
16:45Craig Rathwaite wouldn't like the result that he got in the first and in.
16:50He was dismissed without scoring.
16:52John Campbell looked so, so good in his ultra attacking style.
16:57Got to 40.
16:58And then gifted his wicket away.
17:01Casey Carty felt a brilliant catch from Pat Cummings.
17:06And Australia.
17:08They rely a lot on these five bowlers to continue wicket taking.
17:13A wicket apiece for Hazelwood, Cummings and Webster.
17:16So look at where the test mat sits.
17:20The West Indies still trailing by 176 runs with seven wickets in hand.
17:26They'll feel that they'll go into lunch feeling comfortable.
17:31And then have the opportunity to prep themselves for that post-lunch session.
17:37Just Hazelwood starting things off after lunch.
17:50Good indication of how straight they will bowl.
17:53To these two West Indian batters is the leg side field with a short leg, mid-orange, square leg and fine leg.
18:03Like you, I love the way Brandon King has defended the ball very solidly up to now.
18:14Deep point in place.
18:25Deep point offers him that is a single.
18:27Question asked, is there a bat involved?
18:33Question asked, is there bat involved?
18:36Kerry has his arms spread.
18:39Cummings will run into the group.
18:46And they go for it.
18:473rd Umpire 2 Director, we have a player review for LBW.
18:58Original decision is not out, I have checked the feed, it's a fair delivery.
19:02Front on Finvision, please.
19:14Okay, Vol looks to miss the bat, can we have Ultrash, please?
19:17There seems to be a gap between bat and ball.
19:26Yes, gap between bat and ball.
19:28Yes, clear gap between bat and ball.
19:30Can we go to ball tracking, please?
19:41Pitching outside off, impact in line, wickets hitting.
19:43Thank you, I'll go back to Adrian on field.
19:45Adrian, you need to change your decision.
19:49You are on screen now, you can signal out.
19:53Your decision overturned.
19:59Now, Rustin Chase has to depart.
20:01He goes for 16, Westin is lost.
20:09Therefore, it's on Nelson.
20:13Immediately after lunch, Josh Hazlewood, who has a phenomenal average, bowling average,
20:20against the Westinese, gets a wicket and it draws Shea Hope to the crease.
20:25They are unrelenting, this bowling attack.
20:35Now, is that the other one?
20:37Is that the other one where it, it just, instead of nipping in, hits the pitch and just hold its line?
20:43Let's have a look.
20:48Yep, little wobble on the seam, but the seam position, Stacey is canted and that is straight.
20:53Well, sometimes I have to laugh at myself.
21:05Lovely shot though.
21:07From a Shea Hope, not back-to-back made.
21:10Milwa's one, one, five for four.
21:17That's good, again.
21:2048 to Brandon King.
21:23On the cusp of a maiden test match, half century.
21:34Now, this is an excellent shot.
21:35Now, he pulled, waited, he sat back, and pulled for six.
21:48There's that variability again.
21:51Ball keeping low.
21:52We saw some deliveries from Hazlewood, I think it was, against Brandon King,
21:57that just kicked from a similar length.
22:01Look at that one.
22:05Yeah, that's gone.
22:11For four, it will be a maiden test, half century for Brandon King.
22:17The first by a West Indian in this series, and only his second test match.
22:25Applauded by his coach and his teammates and everyone around.
22:29A milestone moment for King.
22:31I've enjoyed watching Brandon King so much in this series.
22:40He's been so determined.
22:43Anything's true, he's blocked it, kept it out.
22:52Deliberate from Hope, we've seen that from him in white ball cricket with fluency.
23:01Not many more elegant players in the world cricket, whether through the field or over it,
23:15than Shea Ho.
23:21Shot again from Brandon King.
23:22Probably won't go all the way to the boundary to the test of fitness.
23:29And it does.
23:31Nice and controlled from Brandon King.
23:35145 for four of the customers.
23:37His protection there, so, as the 150 comes up before the Western East.
23:55He was looking for this triangle down the leg side.
23:58It's a big responsibility given to him by the coaching staff and the skipper.
24:12He should get himself a couple.
24:13That's a technique that was employed with great success by Alex Carey.
24:18He should get himself a couple.
24:31Lot of the drive.
24:34Inside out you can see.
24:36The confidence of Brandon King on the split.
24:39Yeah, I think this is really important that they don't let Nathan Lyons settle into a nice long spell.
24:53Try and score at all opportunities.
24:57That is a very good shot.
24:59A little bit inside out.
25:00There is a 50 run partnership.
25:11Really solid between King and Hope.
25:18Two players who recognize the situation.
25:21Shea Ho.
25:23His contribution 21 from 43.
25:26He just arrived at the crease.
25:28So, he's assessed conditions in quick time.
25:31Brandon King, he's had to work really hard.
25:35But his team out of a crisis, so to speak.
25:38Now he looks in full control.
25:43Once more, great use of the feet.
25:47And the maximum for King, so,
25:51using his feet and executing well.
25:54Well, he could not care less that deep mid-on was back there.
26:01Well, he dragged it actually.
26:02I think he was trying to go straighter.
26:04He was trying to go straight over Nathan Lyons head, but he ended up dragging it.
26:10Still got enough of it.
26:11Oh, and again, wide of the crease.
26:23So, that angle has worked.
26:25Now, instead of it straightening up, that has come back in.
26:28That is an absolute peach.
26:30Pat Cummings, you beauty.
26:39The skill of the highest class.
26:42That delivery coming back.
26:43It's in the top of half.
26:44Deceiving Shea Hope.
26:49With the angle, with the lateral movement inward.
26:54Virtually unplayable.
26:56Hope departs to 21.
26:57The breakthrough comes.
26:58169 for five.
27:05Justin Graves.
27:06A little appeal coming from the wicket keeper.
27:20It's prompting a discussion.
27:22No real conviction.
27:24Coming forward.
27:25It's Steve Smith.
27:28Just asking the question again.
27:33They go for the review.
27:36Third umpire to director.
27:38We have a player review for court behind.
27:40Original decision is not out.
27:42I have checked the feed.
27:42It's a fair delivery.
27:44Front on spin vision, please.
27:54Okay, ball is very close to the glove.
27:56Can we have ultrash, please?
28:00We're going, please.
28:02Okay, freeze it here, please.
28:03Freeze it here.
28:04There's a clear spike when the ball is next to the glove.
28:08I'll go back to Richard on field.
28:10Richard, you need to change your decision.
28:15I'll let you know when you're on spin now.
28:16You can signal out.
28:17Well, great referral by the Australians.
28:21It just took a little bit of glove on the way through.
28:24Good catch by Alex Carey.
28:26And the Aussies have gone bang, bang.
28:29He played beautifully, Brandon King, for his 75-169 for six.
28:34Good catch by Alex Carey.
28:36The pendulum swing in favor of the Australians.
28:40Two quick wickets now putting more pressure on this West Indies batting lineup.
28:47And Zari Joseph, now striding to the middle.
28:54Yes, last ball.
28:56Australia believe and Graves goes.
28:59You can never, never relax against Australians till there is something for ballers across the phases on this surface.
29:12Just wanted to sit inside there.
29:22It doesn't look to be stumped.
29:26So caught behind.
29:29Justin Graves gone for one.
29:31The slide continues.
29:33174 for six.
29:48Steve Smith believes that there was something on it.
29:51He wants Pat Cummins to review it.
29:52He's adamant and Cummins goes for it.
30:03He's not umpired to director.
30:04We have a player review for catch.
30:07Original decision is not out.
30:08I have checked the feed.
30:09It's a fair delivery.
30:10Front on spin vision, please.
30:28Okay, ball looks like missing the bat and the glove.
30:31Can we have ultra edge, please, Gavin?
30:33Okay, clear gap between bat and ball.
30:44Keep it going.
30:45Okay, clear gap between bat and ball.
30:47No bat and ball.
30:48I will need to check ball tracking.
30:51Next up the pad.
30:54Original decision not out.
30:56Pitching outside off.
30:57Impact is outside.
30:58I'll go back to Richard on field.
31:00Richard, you can stay with your decision.
31:01You're on screen now.
31:03See, go not out.
31:08And it will remain four wickets for 75 runs
31:12in the middle session of day two of this second test.
31:21Jamar Joseph will return after the T-interval and this must feel very good for the persevering Australian bowling attack.
31:30John Campbell, John Campbell got to 40 in quick time.
31:39A little bit of a strangle down the leg.
31:40A little bit of a strangle down the leg side from Nathan Lyon ended what was a really good knock.
31:43Chase and Hope fluttered to deceive, didn't quite make the best of two starts.
31:48And at T West Indies 185 for seven.
31:53From a bowling perspective, start the only bowler without any success in the right hand column.
32:00It means that the West Indies still trail Australia by 101 runs and they've got three of their first innings wickets in hand Australia at the moment in the ascendancy.
32:19So, Shamar Joseph and El Zari Joseph, a couple of Josephs out there.
32:28They love playing their shots, so we're in for some entertaining cricket.
32:35And it's going to be Pat Cummins to bowl straight after T.
32:50And there is a shot, it's going to fall just over mid-wicket to get things moving after T.
32:58As I said, both these batsmen love playing their shots, so strap yourselves in.
33:12Yeah, that's gone.
33:14And that's massive from El Zari Joseph.
33:18Just marginally short from Lyon and quickly onto that one.
33:28Yep, superb from El Zari Joseph.
33:31You can see he picked up the length, stayed nice and still as the ball was released.
33:35And then as soon as he saw it a little bit short, used the depth in the crease, then those long levers.
33:42And that's nasty.
33:50He's taken a few of these already against this opposition.
33:54And that 44, which was incidentally his career best.
34:00And to add to his tally of nine wickets, there was a barrage of short balls at him.
34:05I suppose in the end negotiated well.
34:10There isn't a bad part or anything like that.
34:15And that just ballooned perhaps in a catching position.
34:20And that's in the air and lands safely.
34:27Both fielders looking at each other, puzzled.
34:30We're just finding the gap.
34:37Yeah, that's in there.
34:38Fielders converging.
34:41Brilliant effort, but just short.
34:45Nathan Lyon, the man in the deep.
34:48Maybe just cooling up in the wind.
34:50Not able to get there.
34:511-9-9-4-7.
34:52He does take him on, but he goes straight.
34:59That's a good strike from Azari.
35:06Yeah, I like that.
35:07Aim at the side screen.
35:11Enough elevation to get it over the outstretched hands of Nathan Lyon.
35:17And he's taken it to one field there in the deep, but he just has to look at it sail over his head.
35:23And that's brute force from Azari.
35:25Another 6 for him.
35:28To 12 for 7.
35:32The sound of the butt.
35:34He has such a pure flow of the butt.
35:38And Shamara Joseph saw one Joseph match in the other.
35:43Outstanding bat speed there from Shamara Joseph.
35:46He's got such a natural flow when he picks that up and his hands at the same time and then through the ball.
35:58And that will challenge the boundary.
36:05In fact, it gets there.
36:08And that's a 50 partnership for the Westernese.
36:12The Josephs.
36:13The 2.25 for 7.
36:21The end of a fighting partnership.
36:27Nathan Lyon strikes again.
36:29You know once these two outs in the middle.
36:32It was entertainment guaranteed.
36:36They're going again down the ground.
36:38Azari Joseph and comfortably taken by Green.
36:44He goes for 27 from 49.
36:46Westernese leaves their 8 on 2.25.
36:50First wicket after T4 Australia.
36:52Anderson Phillip makes his way to the crease.
36:55There's that ability again.
37:07I remember saying in his very first test innings at Adelaide in 2024.
37:14That if you give that young man responsibility.
37:17Particularly when he goes back to domestic record.
37:19To bat him higher.
37:20To take his responsibility more seriously.
37:24And continue developing his batting.
37:29Stark has his man.
37:32Brought him to the attack.
37:33First over of a new spell.
37:37And he cleans up the stumps.
37:41Now first wicket before him as well.
37:44In this match Mitch Stark.
37:51Following Shamar Joseph with this delivery.
37:54It came off his pads and onto the stumps.
37:59Because he was just trying to make room to whip it into the leg side.
38:07Just too quick that delivery.
38:10Shamar Joseph goes for 29.
38:11Weston is 2.3-7 for 9.
38:15Jayden Seals arrives at the crease.
38:16With Weston Lee still trailing by 49.
38:23That was well directed.
38:27Negotiated well in the end by Jayden Seals.
38:29Yeah fast water is tuning in.
38:33The thing of the pass.
38:34Jayden Seals ditches it out.
38:38Gets it back.
38:41I love his character.
38:43Let me have it.
38:44I'll take it.
38:45Tuneen across the line.
38:53And that dreaded finger goes up.
38:55Well I'm sure.
38:57The review will be taken.
39:02Yeah confirmation of that.
39:03So we'll have a second look.
39:05We have a flare review for LPW.
39:08Original decision is out.
39:09I have checked the feed.
39:10It's a fair delivery.
39:10Front on spin vision piece.
39:12Okay ball is very close to the bat.
39:22Can we have ultra edge please.
39:25Okay gap between bat and ball.
39:28Keep it going please.
39:31Keep it going.
39:32Keep it going.
39:33Gap between ball and the glove as well.
39:35Okay no bat and ball.
39:36Ball tracking please.
39:42Pitching outside of impact in line.
39:49Wickets missing.
39:52I'll go back to Richard on field.
39:54Richard you need to change your decision.
39:58You're on screen now.
39:58You can signal not out.
39:59That massive cheer is 250.
40:15Catch it.
40:16Yeah.
40:18Now Travis Head thinks that he's got his man finally.
40:22Jaden Seals is saying that it's bounced.
40:24Anderson Philip is not moving.
40:26The umpires will come together and discuss.
40:30Third umpire to director.
40:31We have a umpire review for a fair catch.
40:34I've checked the feed.
40:35It's a fair delivery.
40:36Can we have the best angle for the catch piece?
40:39Thanks for mine.
40:39Yeah just rock and roll once.
40:51Rock and roll once.
40:52I can see fingers are underneath.
41:00Yes I can see the fingers are underneath the ball.
41:02I am ready with my decision for the big screen.
41:09And that will be another one that will be discussed for some time.
41:2333 runs behind Australia's first innings total.
41:29And we will have something in the region of about 40 minutes batting.
41:34Light permitting to close out day two.
41:37It could be a tricky period.
41:39This 19-year-old Sam Constance is finding out all about it.
41:47Muslim Guadja ticked over 6,000 runs now.
41:52Has been of one of Australia's outstanding test players.
41:56But this is where the West Indies need to be switched on as well now Bish.
42:00Because this is a big moment.
42:01He has knocked him over.
42:06Difficult period to bat.
42:07More problems for the 19-year-old Sam Constance.
42:14And Jaden Seals.
42:17His reputation continues to grow.
42:19Well here we go.
42:27The West Indies.
42:29Just about the perfect start.
42:31Wasn't his best delivery.
42:34Sam Constance saw the width.
42:38Just in the end got a bottom edge.
42:42Dragged it onto the stumps.
42:44And he's out for a dark great start for the Windings.
42:47They get there first.
42:54Cam Green.
42:56Talked about these difficult little periods.
43:02Oh, it's just bounced.
43:04It spat at Cam Green.
43:07Spat at him.
43:08Very good fast bowling from Jaden Seals.
43:12Steaming in.
43:13Getting everything out of this pitch.
43:15That really bounced.
43:22Off the shoulder of the bat.
43:24Just short of second slip.
43:27And again, very similar.
43:32In fact, eerily similar.
43:35From the first innings.
43:36It was Azari Joseph then.
43:38It's Jaden Seals now.
43:41And the struggle continues for Kawaja.
43:44Wrong the wicket.
43:45Is he going to review?
43:47He's considering it.
43:48Time is running out.
43:50And there goes for it.
43:51Just in the nick of it.
43:52And there goes for it.
43:56Third Umpay to Director.
43:58We have a player review for LPW.
44:00Original decision is out.
44:02I have checked the feed.
44:02It's a fair delivery.
44:03Front on spin vision please.
44:10Okay, ball is very close to the bat.
44:12Can we have ultra edge please?
44:15Skip it going please.
44:17Okay, clear gap between bat and ball.
44:18No bat involved.
44:19Ball tracking please.
44:22Ball tracking please.
44:28Pitting outside of.
44:29Impact in line.
44:30Wicket setting.
44:32I'll go back to Adrian on field.
44:34Adrian, you can stay with your decision.
44:36You're on strain now.
44:37You can signal out.
44:39The hope turns to despair for Usman Kawaja.
44:45Make that three times in succession.
44:48Dismissed in a similar fashion.
44:50He goes for two of Australia.
44:52And early trouble here.
44:53Four for two.
44:58He's taking a blue.
45:00He takes the single this time.
45:02No one backing up.
45:05So that was quite good of the feeler as well.
45:10Who sort of checked his through.
45:12He realized that there was no one behind backing up.
45:16And Lion will require some bit of treatment.
45:18This will eat away at the precious few minutes remaining.
45:23But I just want to make special mention of the game awareness here.
45:26I'm not entirely sure who the feeler was.
45:28I wonder if it was Craig Brothway.
45:32Left shoulder.
45:33He realizes that there's no one's chase.
45:37That no one is backing up.
45:38So he just checked his through.
45:40And it seems as though it's going to be the final bit of play.
45:52Yes, it is.
45:53And so that stumps on day two.
45:57Nathan Lyon completed his task of remaining unbeaten at the end.
46:03Protecting the others to come.
46:06But Jaden Seals doing what West Indies hoped that they would do.
46:12By getting a couple of wickets.
46:13And keeping this game with a certain level of parity.
46:21Summary Australia 286 in the first innings.
46:26West Indies 253.
46:28Australia now 12 for 2.
46:32And West Indies will be pleased.
46:36Lead by 45.
