In dismissing them inside their 50 overs, Australia have avoided a slow over-rate penalty. And it's a big, big win for them - 103 runs - with just Brian Lara, inevitably, holding up their victory charge with a slick 77. Denesh Ramdin showed plenty of ability and class in his 52 but it was the failings of the top-order which hurt the West Indies. Chris Gayle 2; Shivnarine Chanderpaul 5; Ramnaresh Sarwan 29 and Marlon Samuels 4. There were some decidedly complacent, injudicious strokes in those wickets too. All in all, a comprehensive, worry-free win for Australia. Keep an eye out for the verdict and the bulletin but, from me Will Luke, and Jenny Thompson, it's good night.

W
Tait to Powell, OUT

gone! And it's all over. Full and straight from Tait; Powell takes another step outside leg, and is comprehensively bowled

Daren Powell b Tait 5 (9b 0x4 0x6 10m) SR: 55.55
45.2
Tait to Powell, no run

not quite sure what he was attempting there...he took a good step outside his leg stump, trying to uppercut it...missing it by at least a metre

45.1
Tait to Powell, no run

quick, spearing into the batsman who gives himself a touch of room, pinging it powerfully to mid-off

Bracken to Powell, 1 run

gone! No, ignore me. A big swish over cover but it lands safe

Bracken really trying to get through these overs to help Australia avoid a slow over-rate penalty

Bracken to Powell, no run

and a play-and-a-miss

44.3
1
Bracken to Collymore, 1 run

excellent ball, squaring him up but he plays it well, angling it down

44.2
W
Bracken to Ramdin, OUT

gone! A slower ball, on middle stump and just angling across the batsman who tried to smash it over the bowler's head...a thin outside edge which Gilchrist gobbles

Symonds is off. Nathan Aliceband Bracken is into the attack...off a very short run

Tait to Ramdin, 2 runs

turned around to fine leg and they pick up a single. No, they're going for two - and they'll get it easily

41-ball 50. Well played

43.5

Tait to Ramdin, FOUR runs

well that's a fine stroke with which to bring up a combative fifty, uppercutting it wide of third man. Excellent cricket

He hardly ever, ever misses

43.4

Tait to Powell, 1 run

pushed out to mid-off, to Symonds, who shies and - breaking news - misses

Tait to Ramdin, 1 bye

close! A huge swing and a miss, the batsman appearing to glove the ball mere millimetres from his off stump

Just two more needed for 'straya. Talking of Australia, ABC Radio Australia is running a headline: "Australia defeats W Indies in cricket", published yesterday. Slightly premature. Australia? Over-confident? Never

a full toss which is pumped to long-on to end the over

Symonds to Powell, 5 wide

the wrong line, drifting down the leg stump and it races for four. Pretty sloppy from GIlchrist

The end is nigh

42.4

Symonds to Taylor, OUT

and he's gone. Big indrift for Symonds there, foxing the batsman who tried to sweep and was trapped in front
