Let us look at AUS Vs WI 1st Test Day 3 Update in detail.
AUS VS WI 1st Test: West Indies 1st Innings
Tagenarine Chanderpaul, a rookie, scored his fifty to start the day, but he was bowled by Hazlewood in the first over. Despite having perfect lines and lengths, Cummins and Hazlewood were unfortunate not to go farther in the first hour. After receiving a blow to the head, Bonner was forced to leave the field. Soon after, Brathwaite and Blackwood formed a partnership for a half-ton, with the former registering his fifty at the same time. After lunch, Cummins delivered a peach to remove his opponent and earn his 200th Test wicket.
Holder failed to capitalize on his start while Mayers fell cheaply. In the last session, Australia seized the second new ball as soon as it became available, and the visitors found it to be too hot to handle. Against the new ball, they lost their final six wickets for 39 runs in 18.2 overs. The team finished innings at 283 runs with captain Kraigg Brathwaite scoring most 64 runs.
AUS VS WI 1st Test: Australia Bats Again With 314-Runs Lead
Australia elected to bat again after gaining a 315-run advantage. The team lost Usman Khawaja early in the innings. They won’t be bothered by it, though. This could be because the bowlers must be rested. The gap is increasing heftily now. David Warner (14) and double centurion Labuschagne (3) are at the crease now.
AUS VS WI 1st Test: Pat Cummins Takes 200 Test Wickets
Pat Cummins has established himself as one of the nation’s top fast bowlers ever with the second-fastest 200 Test wicket total. On Friday, while playing in his 44th Test against the West Indies in Perth, Cummins hit the landmark by swinging one past Kraigg Brathwaite’s outside edge to remove off stump. Let’s examine Pat Cummins’s new record for Test Wickets in more depth.
Earlier, Australia batted for long 5 sessions scoring a mammoth 598. Steve Smith and Marnus Labuschagne both score a double century. Travis Head was a bit unlucky as he fell 1 run short to finishing his 100. He got out on 99.
