00:00We move now to day four of this second test between the Westernies and Australia.
00:17This is the match summary.
00:19Australia ahead by 254 runs.
00:22The Westernies still needing three wickets to get that opportunity to bat and to chase the target.
00:28It sets up an intriguing day's play this fourth day.
00:35First ball, day four.
00:41Another run added, so Westernies and feelers and bowlers will be under a little more pressure.
00:48You can sense that Australia has that intent to add runs to this lead and add it in quick time.
00:58And there is a wicket.
01:05Shemar Joseph getting away movement to Pat Cummings and the ideal start for the West Indians.
01:13Could it have asked for a better start?
01:15Alex Kerrio strike first ball.
01:16The wicket of the Australian captain.
01:19Second ball of the day.
01:22Nicked off to Shea Hopak.
01:24Shemar Joseph again.
01:26The Aussie Slayer.
01:28Cummings gone for four.
01:29Australia 2-2-2 for eight.
01:34Powerfully struck down the ground.
01:35Will it be firm enough to get four?
01:38Yep.
01:40It is powerful enough.
01:44That's close.
01:45That's close.
01:46No, says the umpire.
01:48He's not convinced.
01:50Shemar Joseph pushes his captain to take the review and I'm sure they'll take it.
01:55Review taken.
01:55The ball is very close to the bat.
02:06Can we have ultra edge please?
02:09Let's keep it going please.
02:11Keep it going.
02:12Flat line as the ball passes the bat.
02:14Ball tracking please.
02:15Fitching outside off.
02:22Impact in line.
02:23Wickets hitting.
02:25I'll go back to Aiden on field.
02:26Aiden, you need to change your decision.
02:28That was expected.
02:29I'll let you know when you're on stream now.
02:32You can signal out.
02:33The bounce on this surface.
02:34So, Hawkeye just confirming.
02:37The ball going on to hit the stumps.
02:40And there is another wicket for Shemar Joseph.
02:42The important wicket of Alex Kerri.
02:45Solid 30 from him.
02:48It's 2.34 for 9.
02:53Very, very orthodox drive.
02:58Before any of the top order would be pleased with that shot.
03:05Oh, he pitches it up and hits the stumps.
03:08Bang on target.
03:10And that's the end of the inning.
03:12Stark is raced off.
03:14To the pavilion while Hazelwood saunteres off.
03:17There goes Mitchell Stark.
03:19He's eager to get into it.
03:24So, Josh Hazelwood, the final Australian battered to be dismissed.
03:29And the middle stump got rocked back.
03:36So, yes, he would have liked Pfeiffer.
03:38But I think the overall picture is get Australia out for as minimal runs as possible.
03:45That's been achieved.
03:46It does mean, though, that the batting now comes under the spotlight because the series is on the line with the Western Leagues needing 277 to keep things alive.
04:00So, yes.
04:01So, yes.
04:03So, yes.
04:03So, yes.
04:04So, yes.
04:05Huge shout on field call.
04:15So important to get that.
04:17They'll have a conversation.
04:20The opening batter is Australia celebrate.
04:22But, you know, he does review on field call.
04:27So important to get.
04:32Pitching outside off.
04:33Impact in line.
04:34Wicket sitting.
04:36I'll go back to Adrian on field.
04:37Adrian, you can stay with your decision.
04:40You're on screen now.
04:41You can signal out.
04:42Yeah, the original decision was out.
04:44And the review has also upheld that decision.
04:50Western Leagues lose their first.
04:53John Campbell goes with outscoring.
04:58Edged and through the cordon for Twitter's boundary to end the over for Kati.
05:08And they're celebrating 11 for 1.
05:12Oh, and out.
05:18Out side edge.
05:19Alex Carey does the rest.
05:24He had to play.
05:25The length a little bit shorter.
05:27And this delivery didn't come into the right-hander.
05:30Just held its line.
05:35Lucky for Stark and the Australians.
05:38They fall on the outside edge.
05:42KC Carty will be very disappointed without innings.
05:4610 from 20.
05:48It's 15 for 2.
05:48Oh, great start from Brandon King.
05:56Cover drive for 4.
05:57Oh, and another beautiful shot.
06:04So, very impressive start from Brandon King.
06:0824 for 2.
06:13Another beautiful shot.
06:15I'll tell you what.
06:16This guy can play.
06:1729 for 2.
06:1929 for 2.
06:25Yeah!
06:26Gone.
06:27He strikes for Australia.
06:29Bo Webster in his first over.
06:31Was that a delivery he had to play at?
06:39That was fifth stump, so to speak.
06:42So, no need to play at that one.
06:46Craig Brathwaite.
06:49But he departs for 7.
06:52And it ends a disappointing test for him.
06:5529 for 3.
06:59Cleaned up that ball change.
07:02Works immediately for Pat Cummins.
07:05And Brandon King, who was looking good,
07:09has to depart.
07:11Magnificent delivery from Cummins.
07:12Another pitch of a delivery from Pat Cummins.
07:19Hitting the top of off.
07:27For any young bowler,
07:29this is what you aspire to be able to do consistently.
07:32On the stroke of lunch.
07:34Ball change.
07:36Success for Australia.
07:387 wickets all told in the first session.
07:414 for Australia.
07:45And they're 6 wickets away from a series win.
07:4833 for 4.
07:53And all the players make their way off the field.
07:57That wicket falling just on the cusp of lunch.
08:03And this is where it's left us.
08:06West Indies.
08:07A mammoth.
08:082.44 to win.
08:10With only 6 wickets remaining.
08:13You have to think.
08:14It's the Aussies game to lose.
08:16Gents, let's play.
08:17First ball after lunch.
08:26And starts positively.
08:31You know, off the mark.
08:36With a boundary.
08:38With Shea Hope.
08:41For the top.
08:43Hitting that on the up.
08:45Shea Hope.
08:47Making contact on this occasion.
08:49So, he finishes the over with a boundary.
08:52It's 44 for 4.
08:58Ariel for a bit.
09:00The result is a good one for Shea Hope and the West Indies.
09:03He's taking his chances.
09:10That's a fine stroke.
09:13An over pitch delivery.
09:16And properly treated by Ruston Chase.
09:20In the air should be comfortably taken by Hazelwood.
09:27He's so good at getting wickets.
09:30Extra bounce.
09:32Not able to contend with it.
09:34And that attacking mindset and approach.
09:37Well, he has to go.
09:42Shea Hope on that occasion was trying to go over mid-wicket.
09:46A ball that probably may have bounced a little bit more.
09:50Simple catch to Josh Hazelwood.
09:52Into those big hands.
09:54That ball disappears.
09:55So, Shea Hope.
09:59Well, he tried.
10:00He really did.
10:01Made 17 of 25.
10:02It's now 71 for 5.
10:08That's going to be 4.
10:10In control of that one.
10:12Ruston Chase.
10:13And something for them finally.
10:16To celebrate and to make some noise about.
10:1978 for 5.
10:23Yeah, that's well played.
10:24Very well played by Ruston Chase.
10:28Got the length and just drifted into the pads.
10:31And helped it quite nicely for 6.
10:35Huge shouts.
10:37Might be going down.
10:38The umpire doesn't think so.
10:43Ruston Chase reviews it immediately.
10:46He's a little bit upset with himself.
10:51Ching upside off.
10:52Impact in line.
10:53Wicked's umpire's call.
10:55I'll go back to Richard on field.
10:57Richard, you can stay with your decision.
11:02Yeah.
11:02You're on speed.
11:03You can signal out.
11:04And rings.
11:04So, a little bit unlucky there.
11:06Ruston Chase.
11:07That ball just clipping the stumps.
11:12Promising innings comes to an end for 34.
11:15Off just 41 deliveries.
11:16Mitchell Stark gets a break through 86 for 6.
11:26Clean strike from Ansari Joseph.
11:29He's not going to hang around.
11:30If the ball is in his zone, he'll go after it.
11:32As he has done on this occasion.
11:40Gone again.
11:43Long enough to go over the boundary line.
11:45For a moment you felt.
11:46Constance in the backward square was in with a chance.
11:53Two sixes to end the over.
11:5499 for 6 now.
11:59That's close.
12:00That's close.
12:01And that's given once more.
12:04Another delivery.
12:06Appeared to be angling into the right-hander.
12:09Doesn't look like he's going to take the review.
12:12Justin Graves.
12:14So, that's another wicket for Australia.
12:17And further trouble now for the West Indians.
12:20Didn't bounce a lot.
12:22It's one of the reasons that Stark has come round the wicket with the absence of swing from over the wicket with a new ball.
12:31He went round the wicket quickly.
12:33So, he's able to attack the stumps.
12:36Occasionally take it past the outside edge.
12:40And they're just a great team.
12:42A great bowling unit.
12:44Graves goes for 2.
12:4699 for 7.
12:47And Zari Joseph goes again.
12:53Miscued this time.
12:56And dismissed.
12:59And this is what I was speaking about when he hit the 6 of Nathan Lyon down the ground in Lyon's previous over.
13:06He did it in the first innings as well.
13:08And Lyon would have said, no problem.
13:10Keep going.
13:10If you want to keep going, I've got my guys down in the deep there.
13:14And if you miss hit it, you're gone.
13:16And he is gone for 13.
13:181-0-3 for 8.
13:23Slug swept.
13:24Leg side.
13:26We saw that in the first inning from Shamar Joseph.
13:29He covers this one nicely.
13:36Beautiful shot.
13:38On drive.
13:38And that's another nice shot from Shamar Joseph.
13:52Down the track on that occasion.
13:55Hitting over cover.
13:57Takes him past 100 runs for the series.
13:59Out.
14:01Out.
14:08Good catch.
14:09Bo Webster moving away to his right.
14:12Very well balanced.
14:14And entertaining innings of Shamar Joseph.
14:17Comes to an end.
14:18Slow and wide.
14:22He almost dragged that from off the pitch.
14:25You can see Alex Carey's feet there touching the white linen.
14:28Bo Webster.
14:29Good catch.
14:30Eyes on it all the way into his hands.
14:34Almost straight back.
14:37End of another cameo.
14:3824 for Shamar Joseph.
14:40131 for 9.
14:41New West Indies.
14:50Yeah, Nathan Ryan.
14:51Very square.
14:54So that ball would have gone to a normal fine leg.
14:57Four more runs to the total.
15:01And that's a decent hit, too.
15:03Straight down the ground.
15:05The Sixers keep coming.
15:08Get it, guys.
15:12Get it, guys.
15:13Oh, Nathan Lyon trying to get back.
15:15And taken.
15:18Very good catch by Nathan Lyon.
15:21And that is it.
15:22Australia win the second test here in Grenada.
15:26Go 2-0 up.
15:28And the margin, 133 runs.
15:35And win the series.
15:37It's been a very comprehensive effort.
15:41Too good for the West Indies.
15:47A little bit of flight.
15:48A little bit of loop.
15:52Jaden Seals trying to repeat the dose of early in the over.
15:57Nathan Lyon taking an easy catch to seal.
16:01An easy victory.
16:03Team Australia.
16:07So Nathan Lyon finishes with three wickets.
16:10And the Australians have wrapped it up in day four here in Grenada.
16:20So they'll celebrate tonight and then try and regroup and make it 3-0 in Jamaica.
16:26Day-night test there.
16:27So Australia, too good again.
16:302-86 in their first innings.
16:32The West Indies, 2-53 in reply.
16:36Got Australia in their second innings.
16:37We're very, very impressive to muster up 243 on a deteriorating pitch here in Grenada.
16:44And in the end, just way too good for the West Indies.
16:48All out 143.
16:50Stark three wickets.
16:51Lyon three wickets.
16:52And Australia win by 133 runs and lead the series 2-0.
17:07And Australia win by 133 runs and lead the series 2-0.
