Lyon to Warrican, FOUR, that's lovely from Warrican and for a change, the ball runs through. The batsman skipped out of the pitch, hit through the line to loft it over the bowler's head. Lyon protracted his left hand up but the ball was too high. And too well-timed to defeat the outfield demons

101.5 -
Lyon to Ramdin, FOUR, this line's not working for Lyon. Gives him room outside leg again, Ramdin turns inside his crease and tickles it to fine leg. Not off the middle but you only need to do so much to get runs off that sort of a delivery
89.5 -
J Pattinson to Ramdin, FOUR, that had more wrists than the barre chords. Gets forward, hauls his back leg in air and plays a stylish one-legged clip to through mid-wicket
89.2 -

88.2 -
Hazlewood to Roach, FOUR, oh, edged and that had run away! Roach was cemented inside his crease, didn't come forward to this full ball and eked out an edge. The second slip dived low to his right, stuck out his hand but let it go through
81.2 -
J Pattinson to Brathwaite, FOUR, edged and four, Brathwaite got lucky there, this was full and on the off-stump line, Brathwaite was looking to work it towards the on-side, closed the face of the bat a tad too early, gets a thick outside edge that looped over the slip cordon

72.3 -

Lyon to Ramdin, FOUR, looped up but the line's wrong. Down the leg side, Ramdin swivels inside his crease and sweeps it ruthlessly to the fine leg fence
68.4 -
O'Keefe to Brathwaite, FOUR, flat and quick, Brathwaite gets on one knee and sweeps the ball out of his sight. Played with such nonchalance that. Backward square leg fence is the victim there
66.2 -

45.5 -
Lyon to Blackwood, FOUR, lovely shot, fraction too short from Lyon, Blackwood swivels across, plays with the spin and pulls it past the square leg umpire for a boundary. Chris Gaffaney did well to get out of the way, it was heading straight at his legs
40.3 -
Hazlewood to Kraigg Brathwaite, FOUR, this batsman is riding his luck like a rodney horse. Full length invites the batsman forward, Brathwaite obliges and drives. Isn't quite as forward as he should have and the attempted drive ekes out an edge that runs along the carpet to the third man fence. Split the gully and the backward point perfectly there
36.5 -
J Pattinson to Samuels, FOUR, spears one into the pads, Samuels just wristed the clip to backward square leg. Hazlewood had a lot of running to do from fine leg, did so but wasn't good enough to stop the ball
34.1 -
J Pattinson to Kraigg Brathwaite, FOUR, edged and four! Brathwaite had his feet in a pot. No movement whatsoever. Just hung back in the crease and arched forward to defend. The ball moved away ever so slightly and the healthy edge went at a catchable height through the vacant third slip region
29.2 -
Mitchell Marsh to Kraigg Brathwaite, FOUR, short, wide and four, poor delivery from Marsh, Brathwaite gets on top of the bounce and cuts it behind point, no need to run for those
28.4 -
O'Keefe to Darren Bravo, FOUR, gorgeous, O'Keefe drops one way too short and well outside off, Bravo makes room and cuts it square past cover-point, he doesn't need to run for those

13.1 -
Lyon to Kraigg Brathwaite, FOUR, aggression is always inductive. Rubs on Brathwaite too. Fullish ball is clobbered towards the long-on fence post a little shimmy down the track
13.0 -
J Pattinson to Darren Bravo, FOUR, that's gorgeous. You could watch it all day long. Not all that short a ball, Bravo fetches it from wide of off. Swivelled into the pull, rolled the wrists and whacked it to the long-on fence. Dismissed will be a good word to describe that shot
10.5 -

10.4 -

6.1 -
Hazlewood to Kraigg Brathwaite, FOUR, this was the sucker full delivery outside off, Brathwaite pounces on it. Gets half-forward, not much feet but all timing on that push-drive to long-off
112.1 -
O'Keefe to Jerome Taylor, out Caught by Lyon!! And that's a wrap. West Indies have notched up 330 runs after electing to win the toss. Not a bad effort to get to a 300+ score and having batted across all five days. Well, good effort from the Windies and the rain. The ball was short and wide, Taylor looked to flay the cut, got a top-edge that popped at a comfortable height to backward point. Jerome Taylor c Lyon b O'Keefe 13(27)
103.1 -
Lyon to Roach, out Caught by Burns!! And the march back has begun. Under sunny skies, Lyon drags one back. Had bowled it very slow to allow it to turn. The pitch obliged and the ball spun in viciously, made Roach's hung back approach look mediocre as he took his bottom hand off while fending. The ball took the bat-pad and lobbed in front of the batsman. Burns ran in from FSL and grasped it with ease. Roach c Burns b Lyon 15(52) [4s-1]
102.4 -
O'Keefe to Ramdin, out Caught by Smith!! And he perishes now. Had looked fidgety after getting to his half-century. There was minimal turn and bounce on this ball, the sort you expect on a makeshift Day 5 wicket. Ramdin slashes at it hard, got an outside edge that was palmed by Smith at first slip - skid across, stuck his hands out as he arched back and safely held on to it. Ramdin c Smith b O'Keefe 62(151) [4s-5]
85.5 -
J Pattinson to Brathwaite, out Bowled!! Beautifully bowled! Lovely delivery from Pattinson, this was full and swung away at pace, Brathwaite was completely opened up as he looked to work it towards the on-side, the ball curved past the outside edge and hit the base of off-stump. Perfect delivery to get rid of a well settled batsman. The umpire has a check for the no-ball, but Pattinson is fine on that count as well. Brathwaite falls after a fighting knock, the stubborn stand comes to an end. Brathwaite b J Pattinson 69(71) [4s-7 6s-4]
64.3 -
O'Keefe to Holder, out Caught by Burns!! That's a sharp catch from Burns at FSL! O'Keefe has a wicket to his name. This was tossed up on middle, Holder was pushing forward, turned it off the face of the bat, it went to the right of FSL, Burns was staying low, gets across with soft hands and takes a one-handed blinder, clasps his other hand around it and starts the celebrations. West Indies are falling apart once again. Holder c Burns b O'Keefe 1(9)
62.0 -
Lyon to Kraigg Brathwaite, out Caught by Smith!! No hundred for Brathwaite! He misses out on a hundred once again, nicely bowled by Lyon, tossed up outside off and spun back in, extra bounce as well. Brathwaite was looking to dab it late, didn't account for the bounce. The ball lobbed off his gloves and it's a simple catch to Smith - bending forward at first slip. West Indies have lost half their side now. Kraigg Brathwaite c Smith b Lyon 85(174) [4s-10]
49.4 -
Lyon to Blackwood, out Bowled!! Cleaned him up! Lyon has a wicket to show for his efforts. Massive spin does Blackwood in, this was tossed up well outside off, Blackwood stood in his crease and let the ball go through. Massive spin from the straight once again, the off-stump wasn't covered by Blackwood, it kept spinning back in and rattles the top of off, disappointment once again for Blackwood, West Indies are in some trouble now. Blackwood b Lyon 10(29) [4s-2]
41.3 -
Lyon to Samuels, out Samuels Run Out!! That's a horror. So bad that you would prefer watching this to a horror movie in a scare-me challengathon. There was some width on this flighted delivery outside off, Samuels flayed the cut and just decided to jog. No communication or calling. Hazlewood charges in from backward point, collects and throws it to Nevill who flicks the bail. Has an eternity to do that because the non-striker was perhaps waiting for the call. Actually he responded but turned around, slipped and dropped his bat mid-pitch to save himself. No one else should fall for that attempted run. No one else. Samuels didn't even attempt to turn back but his anger at Brathwaite's response was the thunder-stealer. Samuels run out (Hazlewood/Nevill) 4(20) [4s-1]
34.4 -
J Pattinson to Darren Bravo, out Caught by Khawaja!! That delivery should suggest that Pattinson had a good lunch. Bends his back and surprises Bravo with the rear off the pitch. Batsman didn't back away and took it on. Went with the hook shot with his eyes closed, perhaps hoping that he would middle it. Deep square leg ran forward and slid in front to snaffle the top-edge inches above the turf. A quick check for the no-ball to ruin the moment but Pattinson had something behind the umpire's line. Darren Bravo c Khawaja b J Pattinson 33(95) [4s-6]
4.3 -
Hazlewood to Shai Hope, out Caught by Nevill!! There goes the first one! That beautiful looking drive was afterall just a flash in the pan and Hope's Test return didn't last longer than 20 minutes. Bowled fullish outside off, Hazlewood invited Hope forward. The batsman stayed rooted to the crease and poked at the delivery to eke out a healthy edge to the keeper. Shai Hope c Nevill b Hazlewood 9(17)
