Good progress by India since lunch. They need only 69 runs to win.

India have reduced the deficit to 61. Still hanging in there.

@MajorRage Weird that he didn't use his leg to kick it away.

Mitchell Starc doing Mitchell Starc things. 5fer in 15 balls, including 3 wickets (no hatrick) in the first over of the match.
Once again, an Aussie batters collapse (121 all out) salvaged by this ridiculous bowling attack (West Indies currently 11/6).

Windies all out for 27. Starc 6 for 9, Boland 3 for 2.

Bugger !
It’s about time someone took that record off us.
Hang your heads Windies. For a team that has produced arguably more great players than any other you’re very shite now.
Congrats to Mitchell Starc, 18th player to take 400 test wickets.

Bloody Konstas!
He dropped another catch, and let a non-chance through his hands to concede 4. That probably would have been the record if he could hold onto the ball!
Edit: wait, that wasn't even a drop! The drop was earlier, so two drop catches plus probably 4 runs allowed through misfields.
