    Former Australia batter & West Indies coach on BBC Test Match Special

    Australia just need to win today and that would be enough pressure for South Africa later.

  2. WI 4-0

    A leg-bye completes a tidy opening over from Mitchell Starc.

    Chris Gayle needs 47 runs to reach 1,000 in T20 cricket. Can he reach that milestone today?

    Josh Hazelwood will open at the other end for Australia.

  3. Simon Mann
    BBC Test Match Special

    Chris Gayle taking the quick single might have taken David Warner by surprise there. It was positive running.

  4. WI 3-0

    Mitchel Starc opens up with a full delivery that finds the inside edge of Chris Gayle's bat and squirts through fine on the onside for two to get off the mark.

    Next up, Gayle gets those 42-year-old legs pumping with a quick single - a sign of intent?

  5. The two national anthems have been belted out with gusto. Now it's time to start.

    Evin Lewis and Chris Gayle are opening for West Indies. Mitchell Starc has ball in hand for Australia.

    Here we go...

  6. Stuart Law
    Former Australia batter & West Indies coach on BBC Test Match Special

    Australia made a mistake in changing their team against England - they should have kept with a winning combination.

    They gave an opportunity to Ashton Agar but now they are back to their winning formula.

  7. Carlos Brathwaite
    West Indies all-rounder on BBC Test Match Special

    You never know with Chris Gayle, but what has been good is that West Indies Cricket have allowed him to call his own terms.

    The last thing I would want to see is him and Dwayne Bravo to go on past their body and reflexes allow and their legacy be damaged. Know when to walk away and allow us to keep celebrating what they've done for the game.

  8. It is an end of an era for West Indies cricket as Dwayne Bravo, two-time World T20 winner, plays his last international before retirement.

    Could it be a last hurrah for Chris Gayle too?

  11. West Indies captain Kieron Pollard: "What all of us have done in the last decade is amazing - it is a shame we couldn't do that one last thing. Today will be emotional for some but it is important to play the game and try and salvage something.

    "Everything is in the back of our mind about qualifying for the next tournament and run-rates etc so it it is all there."

  12. Australia captain Aaron Finch: "It looks like a really good wicket and I don't expect it to change much. I don't think it matters which way round you do it - if you want to the win the tournament you have to do it both days.

    "We won't be thinking about run rate at all - we just want the two points."

  13. Australia win toss and bowl

    Australia captain Aaron Finch wins the toss and decides to bowl first.

  14. Australia are second in Group 1 on six points, ahead of South Africa thanks to their superior net run-rate.

    Defending champions West Indies are already eliminated following defeats by England, South Africa and Sri Lanka.

    A win for Australia therefore should be enough to see them through - unless South Africa beat England by a huge margin.

  15. Good morning

    Welcome to yet another pivotal day at the T20 World Cup as Group 1 reaches its conclusion.

    England, top with four wins from four so far, take on South Africa this afternoon looking to seal their place in the semi-finals.

    But first up it's Australia as they look to progress through to the last four with victory over West Indies.
