WI vs AUS Live Score

11:21 PM IST Talking about bowling for West Indies across both innings, it was nothing short of superb. The first innings seemed to be totally reliant on Shamar Joseph but come the second dig, it seemed to be a total team effort. But fielding let the team down badly. They dropped 4 catches in the first innings and dropped 3 more in the second - a total of 7 drops in the match, with 5 of those coming from the bowling of Shamar Joseph alone! Crucially, they dropped Usman Khawaja twice in the first innings and Head in the second, with Australia at 107/4 on the morning of Day 3. Ironically, they did not drop a catch after Head's drop, but the game ran away from them. A shout out to Shamar Joseph for his 9 wickets in the match but the pace bowling, in general, looked terrific, with the 4-pronged attack in Shamar Joseph, Jayden Seales, Alzarri Joseph and Justin Greaves coming in at the Aussies consistently.

11:18 PM IST 'The Big Three' do it again. 7 wickets combined apiece in both innings for Mitchell Starc, Josh Hazlewood and Pat Cummins shows why they are considered as the Big Three. Despite a low score in the first innings by their batters, the bowlers did really well to restrict West Indies to a lead of 10, while in the second innings, Hazlewood was just outstanding, landing the ball on one area consistently. They too, have a decent fourth seamer in Beau Webster, who, just like Greaves, keeps the run scoring down and manages to nibble the ball away.

11:13 PM IST Disappointing would be an understatement for the home side. They had Australia in deep trouble, first bowling them out for 180 and then, in the second innings, at 65/4. But then, the hosts let it slip through some shoddy fielding combined with some inconsistent bowling and before they knew it, there was a mountain in front of them. The batting in the last innings was nothing short of shocking, collapsing from 47/1 to 86/8, before the 9th wicket stand gave them some sort of respect. Only 4 batters managed to reach double digits after a promising 43-run stand for the second wicket between John Campbell and Keacy Carty. Spare a thought for Campbell - he would be sitting in that Windies dressing room and thinking about that shot which brought about his dismissal in the fourth innings - a needless paddle. And the cookie crumbled.

11:07 PM IST Right. That accelerated pretty quickly. Australia were favourites before the start of the Test match and they were favourites post Lunch on Day 3. But, for the first 7 sessions, this game could have gone anywhere. West Indies will admit that they let it slip through some really poor fielding, where they dropped 7 catches while Australia will admit that they got very lucky through some controversial umpiring calls, as they earn their fourth straight win in Tests at this venue. But what's done cannot be undone. West Indies have given a terrific picture of themselves and for the first time in say, 25-odd years, a West Indies-Australia Test series will not be one-sided. The second Test is scheduled on Thursday, July 3, 2025, in Grenada. Looking at this Test, won't be surprised to see a fast, bouncy track over there too and this Windies bowling attack would be keen to inflict further wounds on an Aussie batting lineup which lacks confidence. But does the home side's own batting unit have the confidence of tackling the world-class Aussie attack? They will do well to learn from this mishap. The first ball is scheduled to be bowled at 2 pm GMT but our buildup will begin well in advance. So do tune in early. In the meantime, you can catch all the updates from Sri Lanka vs Bangladesh, South Africa vs Zimbabwe, England Women vs India Women and also, England vs India. Have fun. ADIOS! TAKE CARE!

11:00 PM IST The victorious captain of Australia, PAT CUMMINS, calls this a great Test match. Honestly says that on Friday morning, he thought it would be a very close game as it felt on balance. On the batting partnerships in Australia's second innings, Cummins says that he was thinking that they should try and somehow get to 200, but is amazed by the way Carey, Head and Webster batted. On Josh Hazlewood, Pat says that he would take this pitch and Hazlewood wherever they play. Details that Hazlewood presents a very good seam position and bowls on the same line and length over and over again. On Beau Webster, PC states that Webster made it to the Aussie team on the back of some Sheffield runs (First-calls tournament in Australia). Adds that Webster is positive and the way he makes his runs is exciting. On his message to his group ahead of the second Test, Pat Cummins wants the players to rest well, as the turnaround is pretty short. On the team changes, Cummins says that the management will take a decision on assessing the conditions at that venue. Wants this side to enjoy for a couple of days but warns them against taking it overboard.

10:55 PM IST The skipper of West Indies, ROSTON CHASE, calls this loss as heartbreaking. Details that West Indies started really well on Day 1 after losing the toss and would have taken Australia's score of 180 any time. Adds that while batting, the plan was to get a lead of at least a 100 which could set the game up for victory but rues the poor start. Cheekily says that himself and Shai Hope were getting a partnership in the first innings but some rough decisions derailed the team. Still, overall he feels that his side fought hard but could not get its batting innings together. On whether he could have done anything differently in the third innings, Chase honestly says that fielding let the team down. Admits that West Indies dropped too many catches and did not take their chances. Stresses that they cannot be giving opposition batters so many chances at this level. Gives full credit to Australia for batting well but praises his own bowlers for keeping on coming in and delivering. On Shamar Joseph, Roston says that coming into this game, Shamar had a fair bit of controversy regarding Sir Curtly Ambrose but he used that as fire to power hs game, which just shows his character. On the challenge of facing a world-class bowling attack in the final innings, RC says that the team didn't get off to a good start again. Details that they were looking for a 50-run opening stand as they were eyeing it as a new-ball wicket as the new ball was doing things. But rues the early loss of the experienced batter in Kraigg Brathwaite which never enabled them to get off the back foot from thereon.
