And that’s a wrap from this final Test and the series, as Australia complete a commanding 3-0 whitewash over the West Indies and retain the Frank Worrell Trophy. Pat Cummins, the victorious captain, is now presented with the trophy, and he joins his teammates to lift it proudly, posing for a few celebratory team photos in front of the 'Champions' banner. These two sides will now shift gears and swap the whites for coloured kits, with a five-match T20I series coming up. The first T20I is scheduled for Monday, 21st July, at 12 am GMT, and as always, we’ll be with you early for all the build-up. Until then, cheers and goodbye!
Pat Cummins, the skipper of Australia, reflects on a dramatic finish and calls the match absolute madness, saying it felt like it was played in fast forward. Mentions that every Test in the series had its testing moments and could have swung either way, making it a real contest, especially for the batters. He’s full of praise for Mitchell Starc, saying that playing 100 Tests is a true testament to his fitness and strength, and watching him tear through the opposition with three classic stump-hitting wickets was vintage Starc. Adds that Starc often flies under the radar, running drinks when others are fit, but always steps up when given the opportunity. Also tips his hat to the West Indies fast bowlers, congratulating them for stepping up whenever called upon, and while the Windies fell short as a team, the bowlers gave it everything. Acknowledges that the conditions were tough throughout, and despite not getting big scores, even 40s felt like 80s in this context, so it’s important to view contributions realistically. Admits the overall batting display didn’t quite click, and that’s an area they’ll need to address. Encourages the group in the end not to rest on past achievements but to keep working and improving.
Roston Chase, the captain of the West Indies, says that it's heartbreaking to be in this position. Adds that this has happened throughout the series, which makes it even more disappointing. Tells that they need to have a serious look at themselves as a batting unit, and there is a lot of improvement needed. Mentions that they do have a long break before the Test series in India, where the conditions will be much more spin-friendly, and a few batting camps trying to adjust their batters might help them. He congratulates the pace bowling unit and says that they have been amazing and were always there whenever called upon, but he does not want them to stop here and wants them to strive for greatness.
Mitchell Starc is named both PLAYER OF THE MATCH (7 wickets, including a six-for) and PLAYER OF THE SERIES (15 wickets in 3 Tests). He shares his thoughts after a dominant performance. Says everything worked out really well over the week, calling it a fantastic series for the team. Admits the conditions were tough, especially for the batters, but he’s heading home with a big smile on his face. Reflects on how challenging it was under the lights with the hard pink ball, particularly last night, and credits the entire bowling unit for being on the money throughout. Speaking on Scott Boland’s hat-trick, he calls it amazing and adds that Boland would have played many more Tests if he were part of any other side. Praises his teammate’s discipline and preparation, calling him a truly world-class Test bowler. Starc also gives credit to the West Indies fast bowlers, saying they showed real quality in tough conditions, highlighting Shamar Joseph and Jayden Seales for their consistency, and applauding Alzarri Joseph for his impact, especially with the new ball. Wraps up by saying the bowlers from both sides brought skill, pace, and fight across the series.
Presentation Time...
Scott Boland, the hat-trick hero, is down for a quick chat. Reflects on taking his first Test hat-trick, as he was definitely nervous running in for that final delivery, but the feeling after was absolutely amazing. Credits Mitchell Starc for setting the tone early, calling his three wickets in the opening over unbelievable and a game-changer. Admits that no one expected all ten wickets to fall in just the first session, and he’s just happy to have contributed by sticking to good areas. Adds that it’s unreal to witness Starc achieve his 400th wicket in his 100th Test, calling it a truly special moment and a reward for the hard work and dedication Starc puts in behind the scenes to stay fit and sharp.
Day 3 was all about wickets – relentless and unforgiving. West Indies quickly wrapped up the remaining four Australian wickets, leaving themselves a target of 204. At that point, many believed there was still a contest to be had. But what followed was simply astonishing. Mitchell Starc and Scott Boland tore through the batting lineup with ruthless precision, dismantling the hosts and sealing the result shortly after Tea. Being bowled out for just 27 is a scar that will haunt the West Indies for a long, long time - a collapse that will be remembered for all the wrong reasons.
Another dramatic day of Test cricket unfolded on Day 2 as momentum swung both ways before West Indies snatched the edge in the final session. Despite being bowled out for 143 earlier, their pacers came roaring back under the lights, reducing Australia to 99/6. Shamar Joseph and Alzarri Joseph were relentless, dismantling the top and middle order with pace and precision. Cameron Green, with support from Pat Cummins, held firm to take the lead to 181 by stumps. In a game where every session has shifted the balance, this day too was defined by pace, pressure, and flashes of brilliance.
Day 1 had its share of twists, starting with Australia’s cautious start and West Indies’ disciplined bowling, before the hosts shifted gears in the second session through a positive stand between Steve Smith and Cameron Green. However, under the lights, the pink ball did its magic as West Indies triggered a dramatic collapse, bundling out Australia with seven wickets falling for just 68 runs. Shamar Joseph starred again, while Jayden Seales and Justin Greaves chipped in. In reply, the hosts lost debutant Kevlon Anderson early to Mitchell Starc, but Brandon King and Roston Chase steadied things, taking them to stumps at 1/26, trailing by 209.
Mitchell Starc was absolutely on fire, delivering a breathtaking spell to claim 6 for 9, and in the process, he reached the milestone of 400 Test wickets - a feat that adds even more sparkle to an already memorable performance. He becomes just the fourth Australian bowler, and only the second fast bowler for his country after Glenn McGrath, to reach that landmark. Adding to the drama, Scott Boland had his own moment of glory, picking up his maiden Test hat-trick to clean up the tail and seal a dominant 3-0 series win for the visitors. Let's now have a recap of what happened in this Test.
It's hard to find the words for what we've just witnessed at Sabina Park. West Indies have been bundled out for their lowest-ever total in Test history, coming perilously close to the all-time low of 26 set by New Zealand in 1955. While the Windies had earlier produced a bowling masterclass, Australia's response with the ball was simply on another level, with the man of the moment, Mitchell Starc, leading the way with a six-fer in his 100th Test.

Mitchell Starc To Jayden Seales OUT!
OUT! KNOCKED HIM OVER! GAME, SET, AND MATCH! Australia have done a clean sweep by winning all three Test matches, and it is Mitchell Starc who has finished things off in his 100th Test. Absolutely ecstatic for him! Bowls in a yorker delivery, around off, gets it to seam away, Jayden Seales remains leg side of the ball, in order to access the off side and tries to bring his bat down to jam out but gets a bit late. Gets an inside edge onto his pads before the ball crashes into the middle stump. This is the second-lowest total in an inning in Test cricket history! AUSTRALIA WIN BY 176 RUNS!

OUT! KNOCKED HIM OVER! WOW! Scott Boland has got a Hat-Trick here and he goes in celebration, running towards the slip cordon! Bowls it on the hard length and brings it to seam back in, and keeps the line around the off stump. Jomel Warrican tries to take out his front leg forward and looks to defend it with the bat away from his body, but he plays the wrong line. The ball comes in after pitching and beats the inside edge, and goes on to hit the off stump. West Indies are 26/9 and Australia are just one wicket away now from a clean sweep!

Shamar Joseph gets stuck in his crease and tries to defend but plays down the wrong line. The ball goes past the inside edge and hits him around the kneeroll. There is a big shout for LBW, but the finger stays put. The Aussies look confident here, and Pat Cummins takes the review. UltraEdge confirms no bat involved, and Ball Tracking comes up with three reds. Windies eight down now!
Shamar Joseph is the new batter in.

West Indies are 26/7, chasing 204 runs, and the Aussies are just 3 wickets away from the win now.

Mitchell Starc To Alzarri Joseph
Starts with a very wide one! Fuller and almost out of the pitch outside off, Alzarri Joseph is nowhere near playing at that. Maybe the first poor delivery he has bowled in this innings.
Back with the second session! The players of Australia are back in the field, and they are taking their respective positions. Also, out walk the two unbeaten players of the West Indies, where Alzarri Joseph will resume the inning alongside Justin Greaves. Mitchell Starc will start the proceedings with three slips and a gully. Here we go...
... DAY 3, SESSION 2 ...
With the pitch doing plenty and Australia’s bowlers operating at their peak, this second session is likely to be the final one unless the Windies produce a miracle. Starc will come out again, fully charged up, and Hazlewood has bowled with control and subtle seam movement. The Australians are hunting with intensity, and there’s blood in the water. West Indies have only four wickets left, and they're still 182 runs behind, which looks very distant. Unless something dramatic unfolds after Tea, this game and the series are heading toward a swift conclusion. Join us at 8.51 pm GMT (previous day) for the next session!
The West Indies batters, in contrast, looked like deer caught in the headlights. There was no application, no game plan, and no fight. On a surface that required patience and skill, their top six collapsed without a real challenge. The footwork was poor, the technique was exposed, and the mental fortitude was absent. All four Anderson, King, Chase, and Campbell went without impacting the scoreboard, all got out for ducks. Justin Greaves and Alzarri Joseph managed to survive until Tea, but their presence is more about survival than any sort of counterattack. If anything, this session brutally exposed the gulf in class and confidence between the two sides.
Mitchell Starc, in his 100th Test match, produced a spell that will be remembered for years. With fire in his eyes and venom in every delivery, he picked a wicket off the very first ball and followed it up with two more in the same over. Three wickets in six balls, nearly a hat-trick, and then he went on to take a five-wicket haul in just 15 deliveries - the fastest ever in Test cricket history. It was vintage Starc - full, fast, seaming in, and aimed right at the stumps or pads. There was swing, there was bounce, and most importantly, there was intent. The crowd got disheartened with every wicket as the West Indies innings spiralled into a nightmare.
West Indies started this session superbly and needed just eight overs to take the final four wickets of Australia’s second innings, and they started with a bang. Shamar Joseph struck on the first ball of the day, removing Cameron Green to give his side a burst of early energy. Alzarri Joseph then cleaned up the tail to finish with an impressive five-wicket haul, showcasing aggression and control in equal measure. Shamar, too, walked away with four wickets to his name, and the Australian side, despite showing some resistance through Green and Cummins, were bowled out for just 121 and gave a target of 204. It was a terrific performance by the Windies quicks, but little did they know what was about to hit them minutes later.
SESSION SUMMARY - 18 overs, 44 runs, 10 wickets. ASTONISHING! That’s the only word to sum up this first session. It was an extraordinary passage of play where 10 wickets fell in just 18 overs, something rarely witnessed in modern-day Test cricket. The morning began with West Indies wrapping up the Australian second innings quickly, but any hopes they had of chasing down 204 were brutally crushed by Mitchell Starc’s spellbinding rampage. On a pitch that had seam and spice, Starc was unplayable, tearing through the top and middle order in the blink of an eye. Windies were reduced to 22/6 at Tea, and this Test, and likely a clean sweep, is now firmly in Australia’s grip. A session that began balanced ended with total chaos, as Starc's fiery spell has set the stage for a possible finish today.

OUT! EDGED AND GONE! Another one bites the dust! The Windies are falling like nine pins here as Josh Hazlewood joins the party now. He goes a bit full and outside off, gets it to hold its line. Roston Chase, who has faced ten balls and is yet to get off the mark, goes chasing after it and just throws his hands at it. Ends up getting a thin outside edge behind where the substitute keeper, Josh Inglis, makes no mistake as he grabs this to his right and around his chest height. Darren Sammy is absolutely distraught in the dugout, and so are the spectators. Windies are six down now and they just have 11 runs on the board!

Mitchell Starc To Shai Hope OUT!
OUT! LBW! FIFER FOR STARC! He is absolutely ripping apart the Windies here. Once again, similar delivery, but the batters are just not able to do anything about it. Pitched up and on middle, shapes back in nicely. Shai Hope stays in his crease and tries to play, but he too is beaten on the inside edge and gets hit on the back pad. A big appeal, and the finger goes up again. However, Hope takes the review here, but Ball Tracking and UltraEdge both go against him, as he takes a review with him too. West Indies are 7/5, yes, you read that right!

Hard length and around off, nips back in again, Shai Hope looks to push it away but gets a bottom edge along the ground wide of the keeper. Josh Inglis dives to his right but only parries it away. Two taken.

Mitchell Starc To Mikyle Louis OUT!
OUT! LBW! NUMBER 400 FOR STARC! What better way to mark your 100th Test match than picking your 400th Test wicket! The Aussies are absolutely ecstatic, and Starc gets the appreciation from everyone present on the ground, and he is pumped up as well. Coming to the delivery, this is full and on middle, shaping in sharply. Mikyle Louis gets stuck in his crease and looks to play with a straight bat, but misses and gets hit right in front of the stumps. There is a huge appeal LBW, and up goes the finger without hesitation. Windies are four down, with nothing really significant on the board.

Halt. The physio is out there to check on Roston Chase as he is down on the ground. Also, a member of the ground staff is out there to hammer the dust particles around the popping crease. All is well now to continue.

Mitchell Starc To Brandon King OUT!
OUT! BOWLED'EM! STARC ON FIRE! Three wickets in the first over and the Aussies are running away with it here. Mitchell Starc steams in from 'over the wicket and serves this just on off, getting to shape back in sharply. Brandon King, as he has done so far in this series, tries to be positive. He goes for the big drive straight on his first ball only, but just with his hands and fails to judge the inward movement. Gets an inside edge as the ball crashes onto the leg stump. West Indies are three down for none. TRIPLE-WICKET MAIDEN and he will be on a HAT-TRICK in his next over, too.
Brandon King comes out to the middle now.

Mitchell Starc To Kevlon Anderson OUT!
OUT! LBW! Mitchell Starc has another in the first over, and Windies are two down! Bowls it full and keeps the line around the off stump, from wide of the crease to create an outward angle for the batter. Gets some drift also from the deck, and Kevlon Anderson shoulders his arms in thinking that the ball shapes away with that angle. But the ball straightens out after pitching and hits him on the front pad. All the players of Australia, including Starc, go for a big appeal, and the umpire raises his finger instantly. Kevlon starts to walk off, but he chats with his partner in the end and signals 'T' for a review, just out of some desperation. There is no need for UltraEdge as no shot was offered, and Ball Tracking comes up with three reds. Mitchell Starc is on fire in his 100th Test. Windies are yet to open their account, and they are already two down.

Mitchell Starc To John Campbell OUT!
OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! WOW! Would you believe it? Australia and Mitchell Starc have started the fourth inning with a wicket, and this match is racing away pretty quickly. Just what the doctor ordered, stuff for Aussies! Bowls it full and from wide of the crease to create an inward angle, and then gets it to move away from there after pitching. John Campbell is drawn forward as he goes to defend it off the front foot. He isn't in complete balance with his shot and just has a mere push at it. Gets a thin outside edge that goes to the left of the keeper, where the substitute fielder, Josh Inglis, moves to that side and grabs the catch around his chest height. A gentle appeal, and the umpire raises his finger. Australia with an early breakthrough in this game.
