A reasonably chanceless hour or so hear for the Windies – Australia must create one thing earlier than lunch, which is about 10 minutes away.

The tv commentators have been eager to see some chin music for some time, and it appears they’ve lastly received their want with some deep squares and fines coming into play.

And yep, Starc bangs one in again of a size. Chase sways inside the road.

That is over.

Night, Mike!

Effectively, you’d suppose part of him should be, however as quickly as Hope hit these couple boundaries, Lyon determined to go across the wicket and begin darting them in fast.

After which he was taken out of the assault.

Australia turns to its fifth bowling possibility.

Not a lot occurring there in the mean time for the vacationers.

Webster’s first two are broad and left alone by Chase.

And the third is even wider and transferring away by the air, and Chase is chasing it however not making contact. The umpire calls it a entrance foot no ball.

Webster is discovering his line and Chase is leaving a pair which might be nearer to the stumps.

He is coming over the wicket to the correct handed Chase, who’s defending the primary of the over.

A wayward one from Starc is just too brief and broad and is left alone by Chase.

This one is fuller and Chase is driving upishly. Nevertheless, the ball is effectively and really on the carpet earlier than it reaches the fielder at cowl level. No run.

Starc misses his line and it is down the leg-side. Chase is making an attempt to look it however would not get something on it. A leg facet strangulation seems about Australia’s finest likelihood of a wicket in the mean time, really.

Vanguard to complete the over – the batters scamper by for a single.

And he is nonetheless across the wicket and darting a pair in.

Hope is working a pair to the leg-side.

4! One other one into the physique is labored away behind sq.. It is within the air and it seems like one of many two males in shut on the legside is likely to be in play…however they are not. It flies previous each of them and to the fence and that is the 50 partnership for these two.

And over.

And he is across the wicket to the left handed Chase for his first spell of the day.

Starc is simply again of a size and Chase is again and defending.

Crunched! However straight to mid-wicket and it is no run. Starc pitched that one up a bit and also you fancy he was looking for that signature miracle ball.

This one is sliding throughout Chase who’s leaving it alone. Good carry by to Carey.

Starc serves up a little bit of a half-volley that Chase is pushing into a spot by cowl level. It is within the air and never fairly timed however the batters come again for a pair.

That is over.

Smashed! Shai Hope frees the arms, vegetation the entrance leg and simply thunders Lyon again over his head. 4 runs.

Woah! Now that is even higher. A single had introduced Roston Chase on strike and he steps ahead and performs a beautiful, looping, lofted off drive over the fence. That is six.

Lyon says sufficient is sufficient and he strikes across the wicket and darts one in faster.

Chase is again and dealing it by midwicket for a single to finish the over.

12 off it.

Cummins is in at Chase who’s again and defending.

This one is a bit straighter and Chase is ready to work it previous Sam Konstas at brief leg. The batters come again for a pair.

A shorter one is sort of dramatically left alone by Chase, who swivels his entire physique and brings his bat down like a lightsabre inside the road.

Chase is effectively behind one to complete the over.

Crazy from Lyon to start. Chase is again and defending after which pushing the subsequent one again previous Lyon for a single.

Fascinating discipline right here – a slip and two brief legs.

Spin! That one got here in a bit from Lyon, pitching effectively exterior off stump and turning sufficient to hit Hope exterior the leg stump.

That is over.

Hope is again and defending the primary ball of the over.

Shai Hope is an fascinating cricketer. He is had a little bit of a stop-start check profession, and when he has performed, he hasn’t precisely set the world alite. A median of simply over 25 from 38 matches doesn’t mirror his high quality. His ODI stats are excellent. He averages slightly below 50 from 139 matches.

So all that is to say, he has the power to go huge right here right now.

Magnificence from Cummins! He bangs one in barely fuller and Hope is presenting his bat however lacking it utterly because the ball strikes away from him off the seam.

Hope is swaying exterior of a brief one to finish the over.

Likelihood! Thick edge from Chase, who’s flashing at a large one exterior off-stump. It flies previous Khawaja at first slip who was full stretch however cannot get a hand on it. The ball races to the boundary.

A pleasant reply from Chase, who punts one again previous Lyon for a pair.

Two dots to finish the over.

He is been bang on up to now right now, Pat Cummins.

And he is true to type along with his first couple deliveries after drinks – Roston Chase is defending after which shouldering arms to a wider one.

Chase dangles the bat out a contact and French cuts it down behind sq. for a single.

Shai Hope is defending.

This one will get up a bit and Hope is chopping it down on the

So we’ll see Nathan Lyon within the first hour.

He’ll love the bounce accessible on this deck – and the flip that ought to be on provide too. Will likely be very fascinating to see the way it performs for him.

Slip, leg slip and a bat pad in place as Hope punches to mid on for a single.

Lyon is usually a conservative starter along with his line, so anticipate no fireworks within the first couple of balls.

Chase clips the ball away to midwicket for an additional single.

Hope will get proper again in his crease and defends solidly.

There may be some gradual flip, Hope getting deep in his crease to observe that flip and defend.

Around the wicket now from Lyon and Hope slashes to cowl, the place it is effectively stopped.

Hope drives once more and, once more, Marnus fields within the slips.

That is the primary over down and it has been a good one for the West Indies.

I am gunna have a break and Henry Hanson goes to take over to carry you thru to lunch.

No Lyon but, maybe subsequent change.

Chase is given a bouncer exterior off and he leaves it alone, nearly, the bat perilously wafting exterior off and near the ball because it flew by.

One other broad bouncer, making an attempt to entice the wild shot.

Tight exterior off this time, fuller pitched however nonetheless a bit up an excessive amount of to problem the stumps. Pleasure considerably unfounded from across the bat, the three slips making loads of noise.

Chase leaves exterior off.

This has been an excellent begin for the West Indies to day two – solely King’s momentary lapse a blemish on the hosts’ day.

Exterior off, left alone by Chase.

BEATEN! That is a ripper of a ball to complete the over – so tight to the off stump that Chase merely needed to prod at it. Nice stuff.

On day one the host broadcaster was explaining that you just’d at all times bat first in Barbados and, given the patchy nature of the grass on the strip, it was anticipated to interrupt up round day 4 or 5.

So it was fascinating to see that batting was so laborious for the Aussies on day one.

Zinc unfold liberally throughout his nostril and cheeks, hair tousled, Starc stands on the finish of his run up.

He bowls exterior off and somebody, presumably Konstas given Marnus is again on the bench, lets out an exaggerated howl.

Heading in the right direction this time, strong defence from Hope.

FOUR! Unsure how that ended up down at third man, however Hope tried a drive, slashed at it late, the ball hit the underside of the bat and squirted previous the second slip and away for a boundary.

Stable defence this time from Hope.

Exterior off, Hope considered a wild slash however determined in opposition to it.

I’m wondering when the GOAT will probably be referred to as upon… He is on the boundary signing autographs in the mean time as Hope defends the final ball of the over.

Superb shot by Chase this time! That is a sq. drive out to the quilt level boundary that has the locals purring in pleasure. Marnus Labuschagne is on the market doing the fielding and he takes a good divot out of the outfield as he slides. Three runs.

Three slips and a gully for Hazlewood, who bowls exterior off to Hope.

Hope takes a single now to cowl, effectively fielded.

Effectively bowled, defended properly by Chase as Hazlewood arrows in direction of the stumps.

Stable defence once more by Chase.

And now exterior off from Hazlewood to finish the over.

There are an enormous variety of youngsters within the crowd right now, which is very nice to see – all of them seem like they’re having fun with themselves rather a lot too.

I used to be questioning once we’d see Mitch Starc – he was good yesterday.

And right here he’s, coming across the wicket.

Hope clips ahead of the brief leg fielder and takes a single to midwicket.

Two slips, two gullies, Chase is whacked on the thigh and limps down for a trio of runs – Josh Hazlewood does brilliantly at high quality leg to cease a boundary and save a run.

Stable defence there from Hope, as Starc simply begins to nudge his tempo up in direction of 140kmh, he isn’t there but however getting there.

FOUR! What a shot from Shai Hope! The native lad crushed that drive by the covers for a boundary. Stunning shot, great timing. No have to run he hit that so effectively.

FOUR! That is simply nearly as good! If not higher! Only a push straight again previous Starc, a real straight drive and textbook good.

He arrows one in at Hope’s stumps and he defends solidly.

Now a great little push into the off facet will get Shai Hope off the mark with a single.

A decent go away by Chase now and that is over.
