WI vs AUS

2:47 PM local time, 12:17 PM IST | So, that is the Test match done and dusted in Grenada! But, the West Indian batting just keeps flattering to deceive! It has been yet another sorry state of affairs, even with some solid names in the line-up. Hard for any West Indian fan to follow, we understand! As for Australian, yet another away series wrapped up and with a match to go, the eyes will surely be on winning it and making it a clean sweep! This is Bidipto taking your leave. We will be back covering the 3rd Test of the Frank Worrell Trophy from 12 July at Sabina Park, Jamaica. Keep following Sportskeeda in the meantime!

Pat Cummins (Australia captain): "To find a way to win here in the Caribbean on these wickets is a special thing for us! The new ball has been tricky for both teams, but, we just have to find a way to tackle it. We, as a bowling unit, wanted to just hit the hard length and let the pitch do the talking. It is important to collect more World Test Championship points and so, will definitely look forward to the next Test. The good thing is, we have a week off! Alex Carey was good in the last Test as well, so, his consistency is really impressive!"

Roston Chase (West Indies captain): "The new ball was the biggest challenge on this wicket! But, we could not string together partnerships. If we could bat a little better up front, for 10 to 15 overs, we could make a better case of it. 270 was going to be a tough one, but still, we should have batted better. It is still important for us to stay confident, back up our bowlers and and nullify the new-ball attack. Our bowlers are really hungry, always want to bowl. Sometimes it makes it tough for me to rotate the bowlers because they love bowling, but, our batters need to step up."

Alex Carey (Player of the Match): "I think the players in front of me did a good job on this pitch to help me out! And I'm happy to contribute whenever required! Test cricket can be tough, but having the ability to grind it out and adapt is something we like to do. The bowling attack did a fantastic job and our batters are always improving. To be able to contribute and win a series here is excellent! West Indies did well when they went to Australia, so, this was an important one for us."

2:29 PM local time, 11:59 PM IST | Australia win by 133 runs!

Alex Carey - 63 (81) and 30 (35) || Nathan Lyon - 3/75 (19) and 3/42 (5.3)
Brandon King - 75 (108) and 14 (19) || Alzarri Joseph - 4/61 (15.5) and 2/52 (16.3)

Yes the West Indies were in a spot of bother at the start of the session, but, they batted really poorly to get bowled out within this session! Really poorly! 

Whatever work was put on by the bowlers, kept getting undone at the fall of every wicket! It was a bit of a procession here for the West Indies, as Shai Hope's impulsive batting just did not match up to the powerful Australian pace attack! 

Roston Chase tried to hang around and fight, but his knock was cut shot thanks to a Mitchell Starc delivery which caught him in front! Same for Justin Greaves, who got a tough one as it kept low, but, the footwork wasn't the best. 

The tail tried to wag, tried a few shots, connected a few, entertained for a while, but eventually, folded up. Australia, with a really mighty bowling attack, sailed through with some superb fielding as well!

34.3 Nathan Lyon to Jayden Seales, TAKEN! AND WITH THAT, THE TEST MATCH COMES TO AN END! AUSTRALIA WIN THE SERIES! WEST INDIES' BATTING FALTERS, YET AGAIN! Flighted around leg-and-middle. This pitches and turns. Seales lines it up and thinks that he has the turn covered. So, he swings it hard over mid-on and hopes to get it over the rope. Instead, he slices it high up in the air, just beyond the left of the bowler. Lyon though, turns around, keeps his eyes on the ball and takes a really good catch! 

34.1 Nathan Lyon to Jayden Seales, round the wicket, SIX RUNS! Tossed up around off-stump. Seales makes a bit of room and thumps it over the left of long-off for a maximum! 

33.6 Pat Cummins to Anderson Phillip, Oh! Effort ball! Dug in short around off-stump. Phillip tried the pull shot with the swivel and missed it altogether! 

33.5 Pat Cummins to Anderson Phillip, FOUR RUNS! Back of a length on off-and-middle. A lovely little leg-glance to the right of long-leg for a boundary off the pads! 

33.4 Pat Cummins to Anderson Phillip, full and really slow around off-stump. Stroked back to the left of the bowler off the front foot, no run. 

33.3 Pat Cummins to Anderson Phillip, full and angling down leg. Phillip tries to tuck it around the corner but fails to put bat on ball. The ball clips the pads and goes down to the left of Carey. He does well to stop it.
