Jason Holder and Romario Shepherd added useful runs later in the innings, but the last five overs brought just 41 runs. West Indies were restricted to 205 for 9.

Second Innings

Inglis brought up his half-century in just 28 balls before being caught in the deep. Maxwell continued to dominate, hitting sixes, but fell three short of his fifty. From 129 for 2, Australia suddenly slipped to 134 for 5, but Cameron Green took control, adding 51 runs with Aaron Hardie. Green reached his third fifty of the series and finished the job with a single in the last over.
