42.1 Symonds to Ramdin, 1 run, full and straight, punched to a wide mid-on

42.2 Symonds to Taylor, no run, again pushed to mid-on but timed it too well to get a run

42.3 Symonds to Taylor, no run, pushed back to the bowler

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

JE Taylor lbw b Symonds 10 (13m 18b 1x4 0x6) SR: 55.55

The end is nigh

42.5 Symonds to Powell, 5 wides, the wrong line, drifting down the leg stump and it races for four. Pretty sloppy from GIlchrist

Or rather, five

42.5 Symonds to Powell, 1 run, pat-pads this to cover

42.6 Symonds to Ramdin, 1 run, a full toss which is pumped to long-on to end the over

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

End of over 43 (8 runs) - West Indies 206/8 (117 runs required from 42 balls, RR: 4.79, RRR: 16.71)

D Ramdin 45* (38b 5x4) A Symonds 4-0-32-1
DB Powell 1* (1b) GB Hogg 10-0-56-3

43.1 Tait to Ramdin, 1 run, worked off his legs for a single

43.2 Tait to Powell, 1 run, crashed on the front foot, but there's no power in the stroke

43.3 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

43.4 Tait to Powell, 1 run, pushed out to mid-off, to Symonds, who shies and - breaking news - misses

He hardly ever, ever misses

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

41-ball 50. Well played

43.6 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

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

End of over 44 (10 runs) - West Indies 216/8 (107 runs required from 36 balls, RR: 4.90, RRR: 17.83)

D Ramdin 52* (42b 6x4) SW Tait 7-0-43-1
DB Powell 3* (3b) A Symonds 4-0-32-1

44.1 Bracken to Powell, 1 run, pushed out to cover

44.2 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

D Ramdin c Gilchrist b Bracken 52 (56m 43b 6x4 0x6) SR: 120.93

44.3 Bracken to Collymore, 1 run, excellent ball, squaring him up but he plays it well, angling it down

44.4 Bracken to Powell, no run, and a play-and-a-miss

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

44.5 Bracken to Powell, 1 run, gone! No, ignore me. A big swish over cover but it lands safe

44.6 Bracken to Collymore, no run, neatly defended on the front foot

End of over 45 (3 runs) - West Indies 219/9 (104 runs required from 30 balls, RR: 4.86, RRR: 20.80)

CD Collymore 1* (2b) NW Bracken 9-1-25-1
DB Powell 5* (6b) SW Tait 7-0-43-1

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

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

45.3 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

DB Powell b Tait 5 (10m 9b 0x4 0x6) SR: 55.55

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.
