Steve Smith and Starc dragged into ugly scenes as West Indies bowler faces sanction
West Indies quick Jayden Seales could be set for a fresh sanction after handing both Steve Smith and Mitchell Starc an over the top send-off after their dismissals. The Aussies were left reeling on day one of the third Test having been bowled out for 225 in the pink ball clash. While Smith and Cameron Green offered up some resistance, the West Indies bowlers dominated under lights with no player reaching a half-century. And Seales wasn't going to let his previous fine from the ICC deter him from getting in the faces of the Aussies and stirring up the emotions. Smith was closing in on his half-century when he edged a Shamar Joseph delivery to second-slip. And Seales opted to get in Smith's face and celebrate as he walked off the pitch. Reporter Bharat Sundaresan claimed the umpires then pulled Seales aside after yet another elaborate send-off from the quick this series. But Seales wasn't finished there and saved his biggest for last. The West Indies quick bowled Starc for his second-wicket of the evening. The delivery cut back and when straight through bat and pad to clean up the stumps. And Seales celebrated directly in Starc's face as he pointed at the bowler. Starc couldn't help but smile as walked off the pitch. While Starc may have seen the amusing side of the aggressive send-off, the ICC may not when it comes time to look at the two moments. Seales has already been fined by the ICC after he gave Pat Cummins a send-off on the opening day of the first cricket Test against Australia. Send-offs are a thing of the past and strictly forbidden under the ICC's current laws. Article 2.5 of the ICC's code of conduct forbids "using language, actions or gestures which disparage or which could provoke an aggressive reaction from a batter upon dismissal." Seales may have once again crossed the line SEALES SENDS HIM OFF!! 👀It's not exactly the welcome Mitchell Starc was looking for in his 100th Test, getting bowled by Jayden Seales for a 🦆!Catch every ball of Australia's tour of the West Indies live on ESPN on #disneyplusau / #disneyplusnz 📺 — ESPN Australia & NZ (@ESPNAusNZ) July 13, 2025 Proper send-off for Steve Smith from Jayden Seales. Was jumping up & down yelling at Smith's face and the umpires pulled Seales aside for a chat immediately. They did have an exchange in the previous over too #WIvAus — Bharat Sundaresan (@beastieboy07) July 12, 2025 In the first match, Cummins took it to Seales before he became the West Indies bowler's fourth scalp when he hit one straight to Kraigg Brathwaite at mid-off. Seales was clearly frustrated after leaking runs and pointed Cummins in the direction of the dressing rooms. This saw him fined 15 per cent of his match fee and earn one demerit point. "In addition to this, one demerit point has been added to the disciplinary record of Seales, for whom it was the second offence in a 24-month period, taking his tally of demerit points in a 24-month period to two," the governing body said in a statement after the first test match. If a player accrues four demerit points in a 24-month period they receive a ban. Seales could be close to this four demerit point limit after his two clashes with Smith and Starc this time round.

Green was able to add 46, but was Seales' first wicket of the day after a beautiful delivery took out his stumps. And while Australia only managed to scramble 225 on the board, Green was full of compliments of Smith. "It was almost like he was batting on a different wicket," Green said of his veteran partner. Despite struggling against teh pink ball, Green was impressed with his teammates having left the West Indies 1-16 to start the day's play tomorrow. "We just wanted to give them a tricky last 45 minutes at the end and to get them one down is really crucial," he added.

At least 4 dead, 20 missing after boat sinks off Dominican Republic
Four refugees and migrants have died and about 20 were missing after their boat capsized off the coast of the Dominican Republic in the Caribbean, authorities said, as Haitians and Dominicans continue to take life-threatening risks to make the crossing to what they hope is a better life. The Dominican civil defence authority was quoted by AFP news agency as saying on Friday that 17 other people were rescued from the boat, which was carrying about 40 people and headed for Puerto Rico, a United States territory. The Caribbean nation's navy said it had rescued 10 Dominicans and seven Haitians. A child was among the survivors. So-called 'yola' migrant boats, such as the one that ran into trouble, are constructed from wood or fibreglass and do not comply with safety regulations, according to authorities. Refugees and migrants pay as much as $7,000 for a one-way trip to Puerto Rico from the Dominican Republic, which shares the island of Hispaniola with crisis-torn Haiti. Illegal migration from the Dominican Republic to Puerto Rico has been a growing phenomenon in the last decade. In 2022, at least five people drowned and another 66 were rescued in an incident involving a suspected human smuggling boat near the uninhabited island of Mona, west of Puerto Rico. Mona Island, a nature reserve, is located between the Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico and has, over the years, been used by smugglers carrying people between the two. Those on that route are typically Dominican or Haitian.

Lyon dropped, Hope takes stunning catch, Smith annoyed by lights — quick hits from West Indies vs Australia
Nathan Lyon is left out of Australia's Test XI for the first time since 2013 as West Indies wicketkeeper Shai Hope takes a stunning catch. Here are the quick hits from the day-night Test in Jamaica. Nathan Lyon was dropped on two tours in 2013 — in India and England — but since then the off-spinner has been one of the first names on the Australian team sheet as he has climbed to seventh among all Test wicket-takers. He is sitting on 562, third among Australians and one behind Glenn McGrath, but will have to wait until this summer's Ashes to try to claim second place after he was left out of the team for the third Test in Jamaica. Pat Cummins and selectors opted for an all-pace attack with the pink ball under lights at Sabina Park, with Scott Boland coming in for his first Test since January. A calf injury sidelined him for three games in 2023, but this marked the first time in 12 years that a fully fit Lyon missed a Test since that 2013 Ashes series in England. Sam Konstas and Usman Khawaja looked pretty scratchy in the opening overs in Kingston. That almost came to a head in the fifth over when Konstas clipped to square leg and took off for a single, only for Khawaja to rightly send him back. But Konstas was already committed and could only watch as John Campbell ran around, gathered the ball and threw at the striker's stumps, just missing. Not content with being gifted a second life, Konstas then asked for and received a third when he drove at a ball outside off and got a thick edge into the slips cordon. It flew in between debutant Kevlon Anderson and Justin Greaves, with the rookie diving and sticking his left hand out at third slip. The ball bounced out and actually hit Greaves at second slip, but it couldn't be reined in. It was the 10th dropped catch for the West Indies in the series. It was a first session of grit from the Australians, who were much more focused on preservation than run-scoring. Both in desperate need of scores, Konstas and Khawaja poked and prodded, played and missed to score just 21 in the opening hour. Not long after drinks, Konstas was caught plumb in front to Justin Greaves's very first delivery of the match. It always looked out, but after consultation with his opening partner, he decided to send it upstairs. Sure enough, three reds meant Australia had burnt a review and that might have been playing on Cam Green's mind only a matter of overs later. Given out to one that looked much more likely to be overturned, Green waited until the very last second to ask the third umpire to have a look at it. Thankfully for Green, the technology projected the delivery to be sliding down leg and the big number three was handed a life. Khawaja had his fair share of luck in his painstaking innings of 23 from 92 deliveries. He gritted his teeth and stood his ground through a colourful catalogue of plays and misses, and when he finally did get an edge on an angling Shamar Joseph special, he looked destined to survive that as well. With the ball flying towards that uncomfortable gap between wicket-keeper and first slip, West Indies WK Shai Hope made the executive decision to fling himself forward, left and to the ball. Fully outstretched, Hope managed to get his weaker glove underneath the fast-falling pink Dukes and Khawaja's uncomfortable vigil was over before sundown on day one. Sabina Park received an upgrade in order to host a day-nighter, but there wasn't much time to test all the various bits and pieces involved before the third Test. Steve Smith, the ultimate problem solver and finder, discovered a quirk of the ground as the lights took effect straight after dinner. As he took his guard against Shamar Joseph, Smith took issue with something behind the bowler's arm, which is nothing new for him. But this time it wasn't an inattentive fan, rather an issue with the big analog clock. One of the floodlights was causing a reflection or some glare off the clock face and distracting the Australian star. Eventually, a match official, with some help from an Australian team staff member, found a massive black towel to cover up the offending timepiece and the game could finally resume.
