AUS vs WI

AUS vs WI
After a steady start, West Indies have lost two wickets in quick succession in their 276-run chase against Australia. Devon Smith edged a Peter Siddle delivery to Tim Paine behind the stumps to become the first WI wicket to fall. Andre Fletcher was the second one to head back as he could not make it back to the crease in time. James Hopes got the better of Chadwick Walton's stumps to claim the third Windies wicket.
Travis Dowlin edged Brett Lee's delivery to Paine to become the fourth wicket to fall. It took a breathtaking maiden ODI fifty by Mitchell Johnson to lead Australia to a respectable total of 275/8 against the West Indies, who triggered a dramatic collapse in the Aussie ranks. West Indies won the toss and decided to field first against Australia in the fifth match of the Champions Trophy Kemar Roach produced a splendid yorker to blow away Shane Watson's off-stump off the first delivery of the innings. West Indies draw first blood. Ricky Ponting and Paine mounted a solid fightback to steady the Aussie ship after losing Shane Watson early.
David Bernard's double pegged Australia further back. First Tim Paine and then Mike Hussey, Bernard has a lot to boast about today. Nikita Miller netted the big one when he had the Punter is in his bag before doing in Cameron White with a beauty. Roach then came back to send Fergusson on his way to the hut as Australia found themselves in a deep rot.
