A wet and drab morning in Melbourne and the covers are on. Hopefully this doesn't affect play today.

And just as I type that, it has been announced that the start has been delayed by at least 15 minutes.

West Indies win the toss and elect to bowl first. Teams winning the toss and bowling first haven't fared particularly well at the MCG. Teams winning the toss have chose to bowl first 31 times at the MCG and won just 10 of those matches.

Warner out for a rapid fire 23. That was a much needed wicket as Warner was looking in ominous form. 29/1. Roach took some serious licks in his first over. Good captaincy from Holder to remove him after just the one over and not let Warner completely take over the session.

3.55pm And that is TEA
Not much threat from this West Indies attack on what has been a pitch with little help... for the bowlers.
both Burns and Khawaja batting in the 80s.
