DRINKS BREAK. Brandon King takes West Indies ahead on the first comparison. At the first Drinks break, Australia were 19/2. West Indies were more or less in a similar position around a while ago but a confident King on debut has looked the best of the 4 batters so far. So the mini battle is won by the home side, scoring nearly double of what the Aussies did, before their first break. It has been similar to what was expected from Australia, ​​​​​with Mitchell Starc leading the way in terms of wickets, claiming both to fall. Josh Hazlewood has looked Mcgrathesque while Cummins will be aiming to be on the money. The hosts have looked a bit tentative but just like Head did for the Aussies, King has come with a breath of fresh air for the hosts. Could be an exciting passage till Stumps. Might get another 10-odd overs before the close.
