West Indies beat Australia, West Indies won by 7 wickets (with 11 balls remaining)

A sensational run-chase from West Indies. It is getting as dark as the World Cup final now, but Bravo saw that like a beachball. That's the first Twenty20 international in the Caribbean, and what a marker it's laid down. England might not fancy their chances of those Stanford millions after all ...

A brilliant momentum-seizing 36 from 15 balls from Xavier Marshall set the tone of this run-chase. Once he was gone, it was just a run a ball that West Indies needed. Routine stuff in this day and age.

Thanks for your patience, it was worth it in the end. I've been Andrew Miller, goodnight.

Hopes to Fletcher, no run

an anticlimactic dot to finish the over ...

Fletcher pumps his fists as soon as he hits it. He knows ...

8.5

Hopes to Fletcher, FOUR runs

stand and deliver! That was pitched up towards the blockhole, but Fletcher drove through the line, inside-out, and two bounces into the extra cover advertising hoardings!

8.4

Hopes to Dwayne Bravo, 1 run

pulled out to midwicket. West Indies are all but home and hosed

8.3

Hopes to Dwayne Bravo, FOUR runs

up and over the covers handsomely! That was in the slot for the shot, and he went for it well!

8.2

1lb

Hopes to Fletcher, 1 leg bye

hit in the groin, but an instant call for the single. Hopes fields well in his followthrough, but Bravo is safely home

7.6

Johnson to Dwayne Bravo, 1 run

short, banged in towards the gloves, an attempted single is turned down, but they claim one for the rebound as the shy hits the stumps from the gully

It's getting seriously dark, but West Indies are seeing it well

7.5

Johnson to Fletcher, 1 run

full length but outside off, guided to third man for another single

7.4

Johnson to Dwayne Bravo, 1 run

guided to third man for an intelligent single. West Indies are ahead of the rate this over

remarkable shot! That was a violent outside edge, one hand came off the bat as well, but the ball cleared Brett Lee at third man by a distance

Back comes Mitchell Johnson. He went for 20 in his first over, how can he respond?

6.6

•

White to Dwayne Bravo, no run

a fuller length, and it almost sneaks through. Either way, it's a dot ball

6.5

•

White to Dwayne Bravo, no run

better ball. Defended into the covers

6.4

White to Dwayne Bravo, SIX runs

short, and slapped handsomely over backward square. A rank long-hop, to be honest

6.3

White to Dwayne Bravo, 2 byes

a beautiful delivery, at last, but it deceives everyone, not least the keeper. Extras are keeping West Indies in the hunt in this over
