Australia vs West Indies, 2nd Test Day 1 Live Updates: Battling an outbreak of COVID-19 and forecast wild weather, Australia will aim to complete a clean sweep of the summer Test series when they face the West Indies in Brisbane on Thursday.

They are heavily favoured to again sweep past their under-strength opponents in the pink-ball Test at the Gabba, a format at which the Australians excel.

However, Covid has hit their camp with allrounder Cameron Green and coach Andrew McDonald the latest to come down with it on Wednesday. (Live Scorecard) Australia (Unchanged Playing XI) - Usman Khawaja, Steven Smith, Marnus Labuschagne, Cameron Green, Travis Head, Mitchell Marsh, Alex Carey (WK), Mitchell Starc, Pat Cummins (C), Nathan Lyon, Josh Hazlewood.
