Hazlewood to Brandon King, out Bowled!! Oh dear! That's a bad misjudgement and King falls early on Day 2. Relentless bowling from Hazlewood, but that's a poor leave from the debutant. On a good length and angling back with the seam, King didn't account for the inward movement, doesn't cover the off-stump as he shouldered arms.

20.6
Hazlewood to Roston Chase, 1 run, half-an-appeal for LBW, but there was a thick inside edge - Australia though ponder and they've reviewed, they must reckon that this was pad first. Was the nip-backer and Chase was pressing forward from the crease, did it flick the pad before hitting the pad? There's a deflection for sure and umpire Adrian Holdstock reckons it was indeed bat first. The Australian looks amused as the onfield call stays and they do speak with umpire Richard Kettleborough as they changed ends. They did reckon that there was a spike when the ball brushed the pad - but in reality, everything happened simultaneously. They got one in favour of themselves yesterday, West Indies have got one today
