...THE CHASE....
West Indies still had Justin Greaves and Kevin Sinclair out in the middle when the last session started but added just a few runs and ran out of tail. Australia are in the driving seat at the moment. They need 216 runs to win. The hosts are the favourites but the ball is doing enough for West Indies to inspire and end the day on a high. Can they scalp some wickets in this small phase?

West Indies lost half of their side inside 50 runs.The momentum changing period was when Kavem Hodge got out and all thanks to Travis Head at short leg for his quick reflexes.
Ouch! Shamar Joseph is looking in some discomfort and
