Head, Australia’s in-form left-handed batsman, anchoring the innings and had just completed an fluent half-century, which was putting his side towards the status of strength. But in the 53rd over, Joseph performed a delivery that fulfilled the unexpectedness and danger of the Kensingon Oval Pitch. The ball was given from behind a length on the fifth stump, rapidly kept back in the head and kept dangerously low in the head. The head, trying to hop back and square it, was completely undone because the ball skid under its bat and flush it on the back leg. The left -handed batsman hit the ground, blowing the pitch’s trusted and blown up with Joseph’s skills, and only with a smile as the umpire’s finger went up to LBW.
The gritty 61 of 95 balls (8 fours) was important for Australia, but was very rare that he could do against a delivery that combined the joint seam movement with a nightmare for any batsman with a nightmare. Joseph’s celebration and later success provided the West Indies with an important opening, broke a 100 -run partnership and exposed the Australian lower order in a decisive moment.

Australia is strong against West Indies In the first session of day 3
By lunch at day 3, the match came back into balance. Australia was excluded for 180 in its first innings and after the West Indies retreat after 190, started its second innings carefully, but soon found itself under the pressure of some disgusting Windies bowling. The top order stumbled again, the wickets fell at regular intervals: Usman Khwaja (15), Sam Contas (5), Josh english (12), and Cameron Green (15) All went cheaply, victims of tireless speed and movement offered by Joseph, Jayden sealAnd Justin Greaves,
Head and Bu Webster Then staged a very important recovery, adding 100 runs for the fifth wicket and the last 150 of Australia pushed the last 150. Head dismissal, however, just before lunch, left Australia at 181/5 in 57 overs, 49 with webster unbeaten and Alex Carrie 8.
