Voges is the Man of the Match: " I think new players bring fresh energy. It was also great for Marsh and Haddin (he's not new) to get an opportunity."

Watson: "We held our nerve. Voges was absolutely amazing. They were cruising along at one stage and I knew they will take risks at some stage. I'm very excited to get on that plane to India."

West Indies won't be on that plane back home yet. There's the T20 at the Gabba on Wednesday. Their last chance to salvage a win in what's been a miserable tour. Do join us for that. Thanks for your company today. Cheers!

McKay to Best, OUT

Best connects alright but it's down to deep midwicket! Big swing, and not enough power on that to carry it over the rope, Coulter-Nile judges it well under the lights. Australia have sealed this 5-0.

yet another dot ball! Narine doesn't offer a shot this time, maybe wants to leave the hitting to his captain

Faulkner to Narine, no run

that's a yorker length which he drills down towards cover, can't do much with that
