Aus v Windies

[Napster]

Cracking game so far

Australia 81/2 (15.6 ov)
West Indies won the toss and elected to field first

Australia RR 5.06
Last 5 ovs 20/1 RR 4.00

Last bat RT Ponting run out 35 (36b 4x4 1x6) SR: 97.22
Fow: 76/2 (14.4 ov); Partnership: 66 runs, 10.3 overs, RR: 6.28 (Hayden 25, Ponting 35)

14.4 Taylor to Ponting, OUT, and a piece of brilliance gets rid of a brillant batsman! A good length delivery outside off stump, Ponting lunges forward and drives into the covers and sets off, Sarwan collects the ball and has one stump to aim at, and doesnt miss! A superb throw that catches Ponting just short of his crease, even though he was going full stretch! Great work!

30th over: Australia 170-2 (Hayden 76, Clarke 39) One offspinner, Samuels, replaces another, Gayle (4-0-29-0), who was taken apart really, but what West Indies really, really need are wickets, not dot balls. They get one of the latter in that over but it still yields six of the most risk-free runs. This is glorious batting you're reading about on an increasingly shambolic OBO report here.

Clark's gone!

WICKET! Clarke LBW b Bravo 41 (Australia 174-3) A really important breakthrough for the West Indies. Bravo jagged an off-cutter into Clarke, who played around his pad off the back foot and missed it. It looked borderline, but Hawkeye had it hitting the outside of leg and Asad Rauf raised the finger. Still, blessing don't come much more mixed: here's Andrew Symonds, whirling those almighty forearms of his.

31st over: Australia 174-3 (Hayden 78, Symonds 0)
