Live: West Indies vs Australia in Jamaica
28th over: Starc steams in again
So, the West Indies are now three down with both of their openers at the crease.
It’s a strange game.
Campbell is working one into midwicket and the batters scamper through for a quick single.
27th over: Cummins has two to come
Mikyle Louis, the second of the previously wounded openers, is now to the middle.
He has two Cummins rockets to negotiate.
Which he does by defending then swaying out of the way of a short one.
CUMMINS REMOVES CHASE!
It was coming.
Three balls of real quality from Cummins conclude with a ripsnorter that rears up and away from Chase from back of a length.
The bounce catches the West Indian captain off-guard and the ball balloons off the edge of his bat to Usman Khawaja at first slip.
It’s an easy catch for the veteran.
27th over: Cummins comes in
He’s angling one into the right-handed chase for a dot.
Ooh! Chase is coming across his stumps and down the wicket, and Cummins is on to it. He spears one in towards an unguarded leg stump but it’s just wide of it.
Big shout! Towards that same area, it strikes Chase on the pad and this one looks pretty good! Maybe? No. Not out.
26th over: Chase receives treatment
West Indian captain Roston Chase is strewn on the square, receiving some treatment from his medical team.
They’re strapping up his right knee, the same knee that got hit by the Cummins nip-backer last over.
Eventually, he’s back up and gingerly re-applying his equipment.
Starc is at the top of his run and ready to steam in towards Campbell.
The first one of the over is pitched up and Campbell seems to lose it a touch. He jams it into the ground and through to Carey.
Campbell is back and behind one assuredly.
A well-directed short one has Campbell ducking.
And that’s another dot to end the over as the ball flies past a leaving Campbell.
25th over: Cummins returns
The right arm fast bowling captain is coming around the wicket to the left-handed Campbell.
He’s angling in a sharp short delivery that Campbell does well to get underneath.
Campbell decides to walk down the track but can only defend.
A good, quick single from Campbell into the leg-side.
Chase is deciding to play this one very late – it’s on a fifth stump line and the West Indian captain is defending.
It has been a pretty dogged, determined knock here from Chase.
Good one! Cummins is angling one in, it’s thundering towards Chase’s front pad, but the West Indian captain manages to get an inside edge on it. Just.
That’s over.
24th over: Starc is back
He didn’t look quite as dangerous this morning as he did late last night, but Mitchell Starc is always a handful with the pink ball.
The first ball of his second spell on day two is a bouncer than Campbell manages to dig out.
Quick single and run-out chance! The batter’s scamper off as Pat Cummins runs in from mid-on. The Australian captain picks up the ball and throws down the stumps at the bowler’s end, but Campbell had made it home. Just.
Chase works a couple through the off-side.
Cummins is having a prolonged and rather animated decision with umpire Nitton Menon. Not sure what about.
Maybe he’s annoyed the umpire didn’t send that run-out chance upstairs for further inspection.
Either way, we’re eventually back underway and Chase is working a single.
Starc tries another in swinging yorker with Campbell back on strike, but this one is a bit ugly. It’s a full toss that Campbell can’t get away.
He works one off the hip to end the over.
23rd over: Hazlewood to Campbell
He’s on here, Big Hoff.
Coming over the wicket to the left-handed Campbell, he has one nipping back and then one moving away. Campbell is missing both.
The batter is then underneath a pretty sharp short one.
Four! A rare loose one from Hazlewood, who has decided to come around the wicket. It’s a slightly short and too straight, and Campbell just works it off the hip, behind square and to the rope.
And Campbell does well to work a leg-side single from the final ball of the over.
22nd over: Boland to continue after no-ball wicket
And he’s on the mark straightaway, rocketing into the pads of Campbell from around the wicket. Pitching was well outside the line though, so there’s no appeal.
Campbell works a single into the on-side and there’s a pronounced pause as Roston Chase takes guard and Australia re-jig its field.
And Carey is up to the stumps!
Pretty tough ask for the Aussie WK to a bowler who regularly hits 135km/hr.
He’s spilling the first after Chase drives and misses outside off.
Chase is defending the final ball of the over.
21st over – Josh Hazlewood continues
John Campbell battled last over against the big country boy.
And he’s almost nicked off here — completely squared up by the ball going across him from over the wicket.
Campbell drops to short cover and takes off. Good batting to rotate the strike. Steve Smith isn’t operating at 100 per cent in the field and looks to have hurt that finger again trying to make a quick pick-up and throw. Contrary to the normal state of affairs, if I was a batter I’d be treating him like a liability in the field.
20th over – Boland nibbling them around
Roston Chase takes his bottom hand off the bat as the ball threatens to rear up at him.
CHASE IS GIVEN! But he’s reviewed straight away. He doesn’t think he nicked it.
But it’s a no ball anyway!
That’s Boland’s third of the day already. He needs to get it right.
And Chase was right. The ball took a bit of both pads, but not sure about inside edge.
Another identical ball, this time finding the inside edge onto the pad and away towards the slips, but landing safely.
Chase is walking at Boland and driving through cover for two more.
19th over – Here’s Hazlewood
The wicket-taker returns.
A big outside edge from John Campbell earns him two runs behind point. Sam Konstas does the chasing.
The short ball nearly does the job as Campbell has no idea and throws the bat at it, narrowly avoiding spooning a catch to square leg.
Another edge, this time falling centimetres short of Beau Webster at second slip.
Hazlewood was all over Campbell in that one.
18th over – Scott Boland yomps in
Roston Chase whips off his pads but straight into Travis Head at short leg.
Another LBW shout, and this one looks pretty good, if not for the thick inside edge. And it was a front-foot no ball, so probably for the best that it wasn’t given.
And another one. Come on, Scotty.
Four! A lovely clip off the pads from Roston Chase sends the ball rocketing between mid-wicket and mid-on to the rope.
Two no balls and a boundary. Not Boland’s best offering.
17th over (cont) – Opener John Campbell is out in the middle
He copped a Steve Smith slog sweep to the collarbone while fielding at short leg, which prevented him opening under lights, but he’s here now that the sun is out.
Four. Two edges – inside and outside – to start, but the second races away past the slips for a boundary.
OUT! Hazlewood gets King with his second ball

It takes just two balls of the spell for Josh Hazlewood to dislodge West Indies star Brandon King with a ball that seams back and hits high on the front pad.
Umpire Adrian Holdstock raises the finger, King reviews, but the ball tracking shows it just hitting enough of the top of leg stump to remain out.
17th over – Double change with Josh Hazlewood joining the fight
Former West Indies batter Carlos Brathwaite in commentary says he’s the biggest threat.
16th over – Scott Boland returns
Can he get the Dukes ball nibbling around a bit?
Can he what? The first ball seams back a mile and collects some pad, but I think there was bat first.
He’s challenging both edges as Chase sees out another maiden.
15th over – Starc happy to bowl at Chase
Bowling at Chase vs King this morning feels like bowling to a tail-ender vs a top-order batter. I know who the Aussies would worry about and who they wouldn’t.
Another single to the total. A watchful morning so far for Roston.
14th over – Cummins runs in
He’s on that top-of-off line to Chase to start.
Edged, but safely into the ground. Chase hangs the bat out at it but plays with soft hands so the ball bounces to Cameron Green at third slip.
Another couple of runs through cover for Brandon King. Once again looking comfortable.
