Hello and welcome to the 3rd and what could be the final day of this Test match. West Indies lost Greaves at the stroke of Stumps on Day 2 and have further put them into misery as they have just 4 wickets in hand. Da Silva is the last recognised batter out there and needs some support from others. Australia have the eyes on the prize. They will hope to finish the job inside the first session itself. Can the visitors get to some kind of lead or it will be Australia through and through? Let’s find out.

...Day 3, Session 1...

Travis Head was the hero for Australia at the start. Even they didn't bat that well but Travis Head yet again played with a lot of intent and scored his 7th ton in his Test career. His innings made a lot of difference to the scenario. Australia took a lead of 95 runs however, the way wickets are falling for West Indies, even getting into the lead looks uncertain. Australia will hope to clear the tail up quickly at the start of Day 3. The first session could well possibly be the final session of the game as well. Join us at 5 am IST (11.30 pm GMT, the previous day). Join us for the build-up as well. Cheers.

Australia are on the driving seat and have one foot over the victory line. The inexperienced West Indies batting order was opened up from Josh Hazlewood who was spitting fire from ball one. It was important for the Windies openers to give a bright start but both Kraigg Brathwaite and Tagenarine Chanderpaul went cheaply. West Indies were 19/4 before Kirk Mckenzie came to the rescue and calmed things down in the middle. He and Justin Greaves batted well but the former gave away his wicket. Joshua Da Silva then build a stand along with Justin Greaves but the debutant got out just at the stroke of Stumps.

OUT! LBW! Flatter, slower and on leg. Greaves hangs back to flick but misses and gets hit on the pads. An appeal for LBW but the umpire shakes his head. Maybe pitching outside the line.

...Day 2, Session 3...

A session that belongs to the hosts. They have scored over 100 runs and all the credit goes to Travis Head who brought up his 7th ton. Head walked in while Australia were off the track and were losing wickets. He looked a bit shaky at start but once he took the counter-approach. The runs started to flow for the hosts and in the process got his ton as well. Australia lead by 72 runs at the moment. All eyes will be on Cummins in the next session. If West Indies get his wicket quickly, they might keep Australia below the lead of 100 but if Cummins goes onto score a big one. West Indies will have a long day on the field. Stay tuned.

... DAY 2, SESSION 2 ...

Australia need these two to put up a good stand, they still trail by 44 and if they are to get a decent lead, a lot will depend on these two. Windies on the other hand, will know they are a wicket away from entering the bowlers. The second session could be an important one. It could well indicate which way this game is heading towards. Do join us for it in a bit.

Another session which has been dominated by the bowlers which means, it is the visitors who have had the better session. It was yet again Shamar Joseph who started things off as he got Green early. Head and Khawaja then tried to re-build. The two were going along well but Usman Khawaja went chasing after one and fell five short of a half ton. It was another debutant who got rid of the leftie and that was Justin Greaves! Then it was the turn of the veteran, Kemar Roach who got the better of Mitchell Marsh! Carey though has started positively and Head has been scratchy but he is fighting his way through.

The Australians will be mighty pleased after their efforts on Day 1! The likes of Josh Hazlewood and Pat Cummins ran through the Windies batting line-up, the two shared 8 wickets in total and helped the hosts bowl the visitors out for a low score. Windies however, put in a decent effort with the ball, especially Shamar Joseph who bagged the two wickets to fall. Windies however, will know they will need to keep taking wickets or it could be a long day in the field for them. The Aussies on the other hand will want to bat for as long as possible, Usman Khawaja is well-set and Cameron Green has looked solid. They would hope the two can put up a good stand and lay the platform. The first session is an important one. Stay tuned.

... DAY 2, SESSION 1 ...

The game is not yet out of the Windies' hands. They bowled well in the last session and have to be similar on Day 2 as well. Australia though will look for a big score from Usman Khawaja or Cameron Green and look for a huge first innings score. Join us back at 5 am IST (11.30 pm GMT, the previous day). Join us early for the build-up. Cheers!

Earlier in the day, Australia asked the inexperienced Windies side to bat first and the openers did really well to play out the new ball before getting out. The rookie players found it difficult to play both Josh Hazlewood and Pat Cummins who ended with four wickets each. Kirk Mckenzie was the stand out player as he scored a classy fifty and controlled the innings when West Indies were losing wickets. It felt like Australia will topple West Indies inside 150 runs but the last wicket partnership of Shamar Joseph and Kemar Roach added 55 valuable runs. It was getting a bit frustrating for the hosts to find the last scalp but Lyon trapped Joseph in front of the pads to rattle West Indies for 188.

An intriguing day of Test cricket. Australia dominated the day but West Indies shared the last session thanks to the rookie contestant, Shamar Joseph. He was full of energy and a big smile on his face as he took the ball in his hand. The idea of opening with Smith didn't work that well as Shamar Joseph on his first ball got the big fish. He wasn't done yet as he got Labuschagne later on. West Indies could have got the third one but Joshua Da Silva dropped Usman Khawaja when he was on 3.
