    Finch is down there at the straightest long on I have ever seen.

    Target 289

    Andre Russell whips the last ball down the ground to Aaron Finch at a very, very straight long on and takes a single.

    The Aussie captain was pretty much behind the bowler's arm there.

    In the IPL this year Russell scored 510 runs and faced just 249 balls.

    Andre Russell is tucking into Adam Zampa.

    A flat whack down the ground that bounces just short of the rope, as confirmed by the TV umpire.

    A few boos - the crowd wanted another six.

    That's the ability of this man - he's a game changer. Enormous six, 103 metres into the top tier. Half an hour of this and the game is done.

    Andre Russell defended his first ball.

    Second ball? Oh, he's just banjaxed it into the top tier of the Radcliffe Road End. Natch.

    A stunning shot.

    Dave, don't make an unfortunate situation worse by saying you want Australia to take wickets.

    I had tickets for this match but couldn't make it due to work. Gave the tickets to mates. I've already missed one of the catches of the tournament by Cottrell so I've got my fingers crossed for a West Indies batting collapse so I don't feel as bad for missing a grandstand finish that goes down in World Cup history.

    It went almost straight behind the keeper. Uncontrolled but he got plenty of bat on it. More damage to the ball landing on the concrete. No justice for the bowler.

    Remarkable.

    Jason Holder throws the Olympic-sized swimming pool at a short ball from Mitchell Starc and sends the ball into orbit off the top edge.

    No fielder can get under that as it flies into the stands behind the keeper.

    Sunny: The umpiring has been awful.

    Finch has realised this is the partnership so get the main strike bowler back on.

    Well West Indies have certainly won the DRS battle today.

    Unfortunately for them, that's not the real quiz.

    Mitchell Starc is coming back into the attack...

    Russell would probably prefer to face the pace than the spin bowler, certainly the medium pace bowlers.

    Current RR 5.3, required RR 7.00

    Andre Russell hobbled off after bowling a five-over spell earlier, his right knee troubling him again.

    Will he be able to run between the wickets? Or will he just have to stand and whack it? Not that that approach hasn't served him very well anyway.

    For now, he defends his first ball back down the pitch.

    Pitching - in line.

    Impact - umpire's call.

    Wickets - missing!

    It was going down leg! And yet again Jason Holder makes superb use of the review system.

    Whew.

    He was moving towards the leg side. It did turn and it hit the back leg. Where has it landed? If it's on the stumps I think he's gone.
