David blasts fastest T20 ton for Australia in series win over West Indies
David hit 11 sixes and six fours to finish on unbeaten 102 off 37 deliveries, with Australia crushing the hosts with 23 balls to spare at Warner Park in Basseterre, Saint Kitts.
"I was just having a great time in the middle playing for Australia...I didn't think I would get the opportunity to get a hundred for Australia so I'm stoked," David said.
"The pitch was good and small boundaries so you have to back your strengths. Warner Park is a great place to bat and it was great to have experience here in the CPL (Caribbean Premier League).
"I've spent a lot of time working on power hitting but now I'm working on my shot selection."
Put into bat after Australia won the toss, West Indies got off to a solid start helped by a 125-run opening stand between Shai Hope and Brandon King.
Mitchell Owen provided Australia with a much-needed breakthrough when he took out King, who had holed out to deep forward square, while Shimron Hetmyer (9), Sherfane Rutherford (12) and Rovman Powell (9) were all removed cheaply.
West Indies' total was boosted by a fine unbeaten 102 off 57 balls by captain Hope as they posted 214-4.
Australia's reply initially stuttered as they found themselves 61-3 in 5.5 overs, but David scored a sparkling ton to eclipse Josh Inglis' record (43 balls) for fastest T20 century for Australia by six deliveries.
"I don't think we had enough runs on the board. On a pitch like that with the dimension of the ground, we know it's going to be hard to defend. I think we fell a few runs short and with the ball we needed to pick up more wickets," Hope said.
"We're very powerful strikers but we have to give credit to the Australian bowlers, they've bowled very well in the death overs."
Australia had won the first T20 by three wickets and second by eight wickets.
"We've played well so far in the series. We've executed well with the ball and there are no words for that innings from Tim David. We're giving guys opportunities in different roles. As a group we've played really good cricket," Australia captain Mitchell Marsh said.

Ben Stokes and England count physical cost in fourth Test of exhausting series
Early on the fifth day here Ben Stokes ran in to bowl at Shubman Gill, letting out a short moan of effort and pain as the ball left his hand. It climbed off the pitch and smashed into Gill's right glove, sending the batter scuttling away in agony. It was the second time he had been hit on that hand; on Thursday Jofra Archer was the bowler, and when Gill ripped off the glove to assess the damage he revealed a thumb clad in skin-toned protective strapping. This time when the glove came off his thumb was fully bandaged, but it was the forefinger that had taken the hit. Stokes returned to his mark, right arm hanging limp by his side, left hand massaging gingerly a spot just beneath his shoulder which had been bothering him since, at the very latest, he performed his warmup exercises before play. This towards the end of a game in which he has struggled with a cramping calf and an apparent issue on the back of his right thigh. For eight increasingly agonised overs he protected his right arm from any use except that necessary to fling the ball at an opposition batter at the greatest possible speed. At the end of a spell that despite everything was outstanding, and during which KL Rahul was dismissed, several teammates approached and held their hands out for a congratulatory tap. Those who came to his right were met by his left hand, reaching awkwardly across his body. By this stage that right arm was good for nothing. For a while before the second new ball became available the close fielders taunted, in particular, Washington Sundar about the fact that he was about to have to deal with Jofra Archer, so successful in this series against left-handers, and a fresh, hard, shiny rock hurtling towards him at terrifying speeds. When the moment came Archer's first ball was clocked at just 80mph. He ended his first over feeling the left side of his torso, and he never approached the top speeds we saw on his return to the Test side at Lord's a fortnight ago. Midway through the second session, as the players took drinks, a team medic ran on to give him painkillers. England are expected to cancel their scheduled training session at the Oval on Tuesday. Since 18 June, by which time both teams gathered at Headingley before the opening game of the series, they have spent 28 of a possible 40 days playing or training: 28 days later, they are starting to resemble extras in 28 Days Later. Should the last game go the distance those numbers will have moved to as much as 35 out of 48, with 52% of those days spent playing long days of competitive cricket at the highest level, many of them in high temperatures. Some training sessions have been optional, with bowlers in particular able to control their workloads, and India's rule is that every player must report for just one of the two official warmup days before each Test – but the tourists have also done additional training during periods that England's players have spent at home. However much you love the game, live the game, are paid to play it, this is a lot. The impact, particularly on bowlers, is significant: after the second game of the series one England player reported struggling to so much as sit down. After the last one Stokes said he spent four days in bed; four days after the end of this match the teams will have relocated to London, trained, and played a full day of the next one. With a game still to play there have only been two series this century in which Indian bowlers have done more work, and only rain or a pair of England collapses at the Oval can keep it from the top spot. Even before he hauled himself to Old Trafford for the final day Stokes had bowled more overs than in any other series in his career. It is the 27th bilateral series in which Chris Woakes has played, and he has never been asked to bowl more. It is only Brydon Carse's third, but he reached unexplored territory on the second day at Lord's. It is entirely possible that none of those players will be considered able to bowl at the Oval, with the nature of Archer's gentle reintroduction to Test cricket likely also to rule him out. Sign up to The Spin Subscribe to our cricket newsletter for our writers' thoughts on the biggest stories and a review of the week's action after newsletter promotion Meanwhile it is not yet the most work-intensive series of Mohammed Siraj's career, but it will become so if he plays the last game – and given his competitive nature, and the fact that India will almost certainly swap out all of the other seamers involved here, he almost certainly will. Three of their players missed this game through injury and Rishabh Pant, their vice-captain, arrived on Sunday morning on crutches. With one Test to go we have had play in every session of every day of every game of the series. Five-day finishes were once unusual, many Tests reaching rapid conclusions on wickets that became increasingly unplayable as they dried and tired. But as we are seeing, if the surfaces never fall apart, the players start to do so.

India dig deep with bat to draw fourth test against England
MANCHESTER, England, July 27 (Reuters) - India, led by captain Shubman Gill, batted with great character to secure a hard-fought draw in the fourth test against England on Sunday and keep the series alive going into the final game. After losing two wickets before they had scored a run in their second innings, India batted for over five sessions for the loss of two more wickets to end the final day on 425-4 at Old Trafford. A courageous hundred from Gill -- his fourth of the series -- and dogged unbeaten centuries from Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar gave the home crowd little to cheer on a tough day for England. A closely-fought series remains at 2-1 to England and the hosts must avoid defeat in the final test at the Oval in London, starting on Thursday, to win it. "This is no less than a win for us, given we were around 300 runs off the lead. Our batsman put on a great display," Gill told the BBC. "As soon as England got the new ball, it was doing a little bit but our batters did really well and it was tremendous, with a little bit of luck going our way as some balls can get dragged on, brilliant batting and brave batting." England captain Ben Stokes, who took five wickets in India's first innings but was not fit to bowl much on Saturday, brought himself into the attack on Sunday morning with India resuming on 174-2. The hosts were firm favourites to seal victory at this point, even more so when Stokes' reintroduction paid dividends. The 34-year-old trapped KL Rahul lbw for 90, ending his excellent third-wicket partnership with Gill at 188. Gill remained undeterred, however, even after getting a nasty blow on the hand. In his first series as captain, the 25-year-old became only the third skipper to score four hundreds in a single test series. After almost seven hours at the crease, a tired-looking Gill wafted at a Jofra Archer delivery to fall just before lunch for 103. Jadeja was dropped the next ball by Joe Root, a tough chance at first slip. England still had plenty of time to secure victory, but the home side barely created any chances, with India seeing out the draw in relative comfort. Washington moved along conservatively after lunch, but hit successive boundaries, one a huge six, to move to his fifth test half century. Jadeja reached his fifty and passed 1,000 test runs against England -- the third Indian to do so this series. After tea, with their chance of victory gone, England offered India the chance to call a halt to proceedings early, but Gill kept his team out there. With England rotating their bowlers, Jadeja swept to his fifth test ton under no pressure, before Washington quickly completed his maiden test hundred. India did then agree to a draw – the first non-rain affected draw for England since coach Brendan McCullum and Stokes came together in 2022. "Another hard-fought test," Stokes told reporters. "Another five-dayer. We set the game up really well, the way we put the Indian bowlers under pressure, focusing on batting once. "We gave ourselves a great chance of bowling them out. We played the game how we wanted to, it didn't just pan out the way we wanted," Stokes added. "Mentally I feel fine, physically I've been better. It has been a pretty big workload this series."

Ben Stokes defies injury to rally England but fourth India Test ends in draw
Ben Stokes' latest injury-defying act failed to inspire England as just a second draw of the Bazball era following stubborn India resistance kept the Rothesay series alive. A troublesome left leg and a fresh problem in his right shoulder failed to deter Stokes, who snared KL Rahul for 90 on the last morning of the fourth Test to give England hope of moving into an unassailable 3-1 series lead. Jofra Archer then dismissed Shubman Gill for 103 on the stroke of lunch but Joe Root dropping Ravindra Jadeja from the next ball proved crucial as he and Washington Sundar batted out the rest of the day. However, there were farcical scenes at the finish when it became clear there would be no winner as India's batters elected against shaking hands with 15 overs left – the earliest opportunity a draw could be agreed – so both could get their hundreds. Root and Harry Brook provided buffet bowling to speed things along, with Jadeja getting to his ton first and and Sundar followed to signal the end of proceedings, with India on 425 for four with a lead of 114. It was unnecessary distraction to what had been a brilliant India rearguard, with England barely acknowledging either century, as the tourists head to the Kia Oval still only trailing 2-1. With the fifth Test getting under way on Thursday, much of the focus will likely centre on Stokes' availability after he was left weary and wounded in Manchester. He battled cramp in his left leg when batting on Friday and reported general soreness on Saturday, which meant he did not bowl as Rahul and Gill took India from nought for two to 174 for two overnight. More fitness problems emerged almost as soon as he started bowling from the Sir James Anderson End, as he grimaced and repeatedly rubbed his right shoulder after sending down the second over of the day. Despite being in visible discomfort, straightening his arm after every delivery in an eight-over spell, Stokes caused problems, with Gill's drive on 81 bursting through a leaping Ollie Pope's hands close in. England burned their final review as the ineffective Liam Dawson erroneously thought Rahul had gloved down the leg-side, but the India opener was lbw as Stokes made the breakthrough with his 20th delivery. With variable bounce in play at Stokes' end, Rahul was beaten by a nip-backer that thudded into his knee roll in front of middle stump, with the England captain immediately celebrating. Gill wore a painful blow to a right hand already heavily bandaged after one leapt off a length and struck him in the glove and helmet but the India captain soldiered on. Having moved on to a titanic 700 runs for the series, Gill brought up a fourth three-figure score of the trip off 228 balls with a push into the offside for a single. By then, England had the second new ball, taken 40 minutes before lunch, and Archer claimed the prize wicket of Gill, who fiddled outside off down the wrong line and feathered through to Jamie Smith. England should have ended the session with a spring in their step but Root parried then dropped the rebound at head height after Jadeja flirted at a rising delivery from Archer first up. Dawson was tidy but nonthreatening at the beginning of the afternoon, with the slow left-armer unable to take advantage of the footholes outside the off-stump of India's left-handed pair. Against an old ball and with the pitch flattening out, Sundar and Jadeja grew increasingly confident. This was evident in the way they went after Stokes in his three-over burst from the Brian Statham End, which culminated in Sundar belting a six then a four and Jadeja cutting away to the boundary to take both batters to fifty and India into the lead. Having conceded 15 from his allotment, Stokes seemed to accept one last moment of magic was beyond him and he hooked himself from the attack – finishing with 11-2-33-1 – to seemingly end England's flickering hopes of victory. It seemed Dawson, who finished with nought for 95 from 47 overs, and Root would administer the last rites after tea but India were in no hurry to get off the field when the match ticked over into the last hour. Both teams must agree on the draw and England were clearly unhappy at Jadeja and Sundar continuing, with Brook eventually called upon to send down some floaty off-spin while Root was kept on. Jadeja got to his hundred in a blizzard of boundaries, eventually finishing on 107 not out, before Washington brought up his first Test century in Brook's next over before hands were shaken five overs after England had first offered them.
