  1. dropped catch

    Aus 156-1published at 15.4 overs

    Oh my! Chris Gayle should have a wicket. Nicholas Pooran has missed a stumping chance.

    Gayle responds by running up and putting something in Warner's pocket, making an 'you're in my pocket joke', I assume.

    The boss is on.

    And this just sums it up. Chris Gayle is going to bowl in his cap and shades.

    Am I being miserable?

    David Warner batted as a right-hander in junior cricket which makes the switch-hit easier.

  5. Aus 150-1published at 15 overs

    Target 158

    That's Dwayne Bravo's West Indies career done. His final over goes for 17.

    Australia only need eight runs.

    Warner has played that really well. That was the slowest of slower balls from Bravo.

  7. 6 runs

    Aus 149-1published at 14.5 overs

    More comical cricket as Warner gets out the reverse sweep and has so much time he ends up shimmying like Dan Walker on the Strictly dancefloor before swatting a four.

    The next ball is pumped for six too.

  8. Aus 134-1published at 14 overs

    Dwayne Bravo begins his final over in international cricket with, you guessed it, another wide.

  9. 50 runs

    50 for Marshpublished at 14 overs

    Australia will probably play Pakistan in the semi-finals if they go through. It's good for them that Mitchell Marsh is finding some form.

    The Aussies need 25 from 26 balls.

    And another edge for four by Mitchell Marsh! Australia are just rubbing it in now.

  11. Aus 128-1published at 13.3 overs

    Edged for four! One West Indies fielder is slumped with his hands on his knees.

  12. Aus 123-1published at 13.1 overs

    Here's another very wide wide from West Indies. They have been rubbish in this tournament.

    It feels like a question of when, not if for Australia.

  14. Aus 122-1published at 13 overs

    Need 36 from 42 balls

    This does not feel like a crucial World Cup match with one team's hopes in the balance at all. It's not a great spectacle.

    Bravo loops the slowest of slower balls down but it's called a wide. Warner thought about whacking it but ends up losing his balance and lying chest down in the pitch.

    Chris Gayle, meanwhile, is having a laugh with spider cam.

    Get it done.

    The accelerator has been stepped on. Warner is shaping up and trying to maximise every opportunity.

    That's a strange one from Warner. He played that without looking at it.

  17. Aus 114-1published at 12overs

    Warner 62, Marsh 40

    I'd say it feels like a testimonial. We just need someone to walk around asking for loose change.

    Warner gets a four with the ugliest shot I've seen in a while. Russell bounces him and, while turning his head away completely, Warner gets a fluky four over short fine leg.

    It doesn't feel like an international match at the moment. It feels more like a warm-up game.

    Warner and Australia are flying, with a little help from Marsh.

  20. Aus 105-1published at 11 overs

    Need 53 from 54 balls

    With the results almost certain the cameras are just following Chris Gayle around after every delivery. He's still grinning, having a laugh with someone on what looks like being his final T20 appearance.

    It turns out he has 'Gayle Force' written on his maroon boots.
