Australia vs West Indies 1st Test Day 3 Live Score Updates

Australia vs West Indies 1st Test Day 3 Live Updates: An inspired spell of bowling from Josh Hazlewood and a brilliant attacking century from Travis Head put Australia in complete control of the first Test against the West Indies in Adelaide on Thursday. After Head smashed 119 from 134 balls to take Australia to 283 and a first-innings lead of 95, Hazlewood took four wickets for just two runs at the start of the West Indies second innings to deal a hammer blow to the visitors. At stumps on the second day, the West Indies were 73-6, still 22 runs from making Australia bat again. (LIVE SCORECARD)

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
