- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR2.2 stumps clattered. The entertainment's over. Gayle was looking good, but has to go. Fuller ball around off, looking to punch on the up, gets an inside edge that goes onto the stumps. Gayle's wearing a disappointed look as he walks off, but he's played his part in getting West Indies off to a flier. Walking off the field with sunglasses under the helmet after an innings that featured two big sixes - not a bad way to walk off, if this is Gayle's final innings for West Indies. 30/19.3 super catch by Steve Smith at long-on. Googly on a length on leg, Lewis looking to hit against the turn, long-on side, gets a leading edge that swirls up high. Smith moves in from the boundary and has to dive forward to grab this safely. 70/43.1 he's picked out cover. Back of a length outside off, he was looking to get on top of it and crash it through the offside, but that probably bounced a bit more than he expected and was much closer to offstump too, so he couldn't get on top of it as he wanted to, ball flies in the air straight to the fielder for an easy catch. 35/23.3 castled. West Indies suddenly rickety after a rocket start. Perfect length just outside off, think there was a hint of movement inwards, Chase beaten while trying to play an expansive drive and has his off-stump knocked out of the ground. Chase was to be the glue around which the other hitters functioned, but he's gone in just two balls. 35/312.5 gloved down the leg side! A short ball from Hazlewood, at good pace, climbs around leg stump and Hetymer gets himself into a bit of a tangle. Glances it through to Wade. Big wicket. Excellent bowling 91/519.2 full at leg stump, long way up in the air and Maxwell has plenty of time to judge it from long-on 143/717.3 how much has he got of this? Not enough! It's four for Hazlewood. A full delivery, Bravo aiming straight down the ground, slices it high in the air, leaning back on the stroke, and very well-judged catch at long-on 126/6Extras9 (lb 6, w 3)TOTAL157/7 (20 Overs, RR: 7.85)Fall of wickets: 1-30 (Chris Gayle, 2.2 ov), 2-35 (Nicholas Pooran, 3.1 ov), 3-35 (Roston Chase, 3.3 ov), 4-70 (Evin Lewis, 9.3 ov), 5-91 (Shimron Hetmyer, 12.5 ov), 6-126 (Dwayne Bravo, 17.3 ov), 7-143 (Kieron Pollard, 19.2 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR3.3 chopped on!. Flat outside off and coming in, not short enough to cut but that's the shot Finch was attempting, and he gets an under-edge that shatters stumps. Too close to his body too. First breakthrough made for West Indies 33/115.6 driven to mid-off, Gayle has a wicket! And he hugs Mitchell Marsh. Not sure Marsh really appreciated that. A full ball, Marsh trying to finish, thumps his drive but head-height to Holder 157/2Extras10 (lb 3, nb 1, w 6)TOTAL161/2 (16.2 Overs, RR: 9.85)Fall of wickets: 1-33 (Aaron Finch, 3.3 ov), 2-157 (Mitchell Marsh, 15.6 ov)
