Proper, that is Take a look at match opening. Mitch Starc with three slips and a gully, and the pink ball, to Braithwaite. The West Indies have 34 minutes to outlive till stumps. And so they maintain a first-innings lead for simply the second time in 18 innings in Australia.
First ball: Quick and focused at Brathwaite’s ribs. Tucks it down into the onside however that was a nasty begin.
Second ball: In need of a size and Brathwaite is onto it late. However comfortable fingers let him steer it into the offside for a single and he’s off strike.
Third ball: Now to the left-hander Chanderpaul. 4 slips for him. Starc retains the road for the right-hander although and Starc sends it harmlessly down leg.
Fourth leg: Proper on the cash. Full and angling into off stump. Chanderpaul, with that homespun crab strategy of his father, is soundly throughout and defending effectively although.
Fifth stump: Shortish and effectively exterior off, didn’t have to play at that however he does, flashing and toeing the ball previous gully for 2 runs.
Sixth ball: Full and angling in. A touch of motion away however Chanderpaul goes with it and punches into the covers for a single.
Josh Hazlewood now to Chanderpaul from the opposite finish.
