Hello again.. Australia have 36 overs to bat today and if they apply themselves, they should be able to get close or even overhaul the West Indies score. Warner and Marsh make their way out to the middle. This is a good opportunity for Marsh to make a claim for a regular spot in the side as Rogers is injured. Taylor to open the attack. He has three slips and gully in place...
In a great move, Clarke introduced Steve Smith into the attack and the leg-spinner struck immediately to dismiss Jerome Taylor. The umpires extended the session after the fall of the ninth wicket and Johnson found the outside edge off Shannon Gabriel to bowl the hosts out for 148. Australia's catching was exceptional as they took tough catches. West Indies will have to bowl well up front to keep the visitors in check. Take a short break and join us back in a short while for the final session.
Tea, Day 1: The bowlers have put Australia right on top. Josh Hazlewood bowled an impressive spell right after the lunch break to remove debutant Shane Dowrich and Jermaine Blackwood in successive overs. Mitchell Starc then forced Marlon Samuels to top edge one to fine leg. A while later, Mitchell Johnson went through the defences of West Indies skipper Denesh Ramdin. Jason Holder was putting up a fight at one end, but Clarke brought back Starc to get his man.

Welcome back... Starc to start proceedings. He has two slips and two gullies in place...
Hope fell soon after as he drove away from the body and was brilliantly taken by Marsh at gully. Hazlewood looked the sharpest of the bowlers. Though Johnson picked up the wicket of Hope, he didn't trouble the batsmen much. Starc was also ordinary as he was taken for runs. The pitch is already turning and Lyon is amongst the wickets. So, we can expect plenty more of him in the second session. Join us for all the action in a few minutes....
Lunch, Day 1: Ramdin had no hesitation in opting to bat after winning the toss. His batsmen, however, did not take advantage of good batting conditions. Brathwaite and Hope started in a positive manner before the former was snaffled up by an away-going ball from Hazlewood. Hope continued to play his shots and he had Bravo for company, who was looking comfortable until he went hard on the punch and Clarke took a one-handed stunner to send him back.

Kraigg Brathwaite and Shai Hope are at the crease. Kraigg Brathwaite is on strike. Johnson will open the attack
It has gone a bit gloomy out in the centre as the Australian players walk out to the middle. The West Indian openers are also out there. Johnson will start the proceedings. Brathwaite will take the strike first up.
Now, it is upto their batsmen to try and put up a show. With 11 overs left in the day, it is not going to be an easy task. For them, it will be important if they can get a big opening partnership first up. The Australians, on the other hand, will look to nip one or two wickets before the end of play today. Let's see who comes out on top after these 11 overs. Stay tuned for the action.
The West Indians started this session with Samuels and Blackwood and both of them failed to trouble either Voges or Hazlewood in the first few overs. Hazlewood started to bat freely and hit a few lusty blows off them. Voges too remained calm and kept chipping away with some runs every now and then. Eventually, Samuels got the final wicket but not before Australia had taken a lead of 170 runs. For West Indies, Bishoo produced his career-best figures of 6/80 in this innings, but West Indies would feel that they conceded way too many runs (192) to the last four Australian wickets.
The West Indian players walk off after congratulating Voges, who stayed not out. The final wicket partnership produced 97 runs for the Australians.

Welcome back. West Indian players stride out to the middle, followed by Voges and Hazlewood. Samuels will start the proceedings after tea. There's a slip in place for him
With Josh Hazlewood for company, he farmed the strike and took the attack to the bowlers. West Indies could not stop the run flow and in the process, Voges became the oldest player overall to record a hundred on Test debut. The Voges-Hazlewood stand went past fifty and frustrated the hosts as Australia extended their lead past 100. Australia are right on top at this stage and they would want to add a few more to their bag before having another crack at West Indies again. Join us back in a short while for the final session on Day 2.
Tea, Day 2: 127 runs for the loss of three wickets, a session that belonged to Australia. Voges gets a great round off applause as he walks off the field. Adam Voges and Mitchell Johnson began positively after the lunch break but Bishoo removed the latter to register a five-wicket haul. Soon after, he castled Mitchell Starc to pick up his 50th Test wicket. Nathan Lyon played a handy innings and alongside Voges, frustrated the hosts and stretched the lead past 50. Voges also recorded a Test fifty on debut and was holding one end up.

Haddin too didn't last long as Bishoo picked his fourth wicket of the innings, with a delivery that turned square from leg stump line and went past the defences of the Australian wicket-keeper. Voges though continued to bat sensibly and held one end up, he is just 5 short of his maiden Test fifty on debut. Johnson too gave him good support from the other end. Australia currently lead by 5 runs and will be hoping to extend this lead even further when they come out after lunch. Windies though will want to take these final 4 wickets as quickly as possible. The battle rages on between these two sides. Join us at 12.40 local for all the action from the post-lunch session.
Lunch on Day 2: Steven Smith and Adam Voges were both content in being watchful for the initial 5-6 overs of the session. Bishoo too was bowling a tight line before Smith decided to take the attack to him. In Bishoo's 13th over, he came down the track and smashed him for a boundary off the very first ball. However, Bishoo had the last laugh in the over as he got Smith out stumped when he missed a ripper after advancing down the track once again. Watson came out and tried to play a few shots too many as he edged one to Holder while trying to drive Bishoo through the off-side.

Jerome Taylor: 'It's still a wide open game. We messed up in the first innings, looking to do better with the bat in the second innings. It's still a flat track, we need to assess the situation well. I had some cramps yesterday, but I am fit now. I am looking to pass on my knowledge with the rest of the bowlers. Consistency is the key towards doing well here.'
Pitch Report: 'Batting will be a little bit easier today. The team that remains patient will have the better returns at the end of the day. Spinners might play a role as well,' reckons Jeffrey Dujon
Skipper Michael Clarke looked positive from the outset, but he played one shot too many against Devendra Bishoo and edged the leggie to the keeper. Smith then dropped anchor, while debutant Adam Voges batted sensibly to ensure that no more damage was done. West Indies would want Shannon Gabriel to join the party and support the rest of the bowlers. There is something in the pitch for the bowlers and Australia will have to play sensibly if they are to end the day on a high.
Josh Hazlewood's spell right after the lunch break was crucial for the visitors as it rattled West Indies' middle-order. Jason Holder was determined to fight hard with the bat, but his mates did not give him enough support. Having been bowled out for just 148, West Indies needed to start well with the ball, especially against the likes of David Warner, and Jerome Taylor did not disappoint. He removed Warner very early but Shaun Marsh battled hard with Steve Smith before gifting his wicket to Jason Holder.
We saw 13 wickets fall for 233 runs yesterday. Australia are ahead at this stage of the game, but the morning session is going to be crucial for the visitors as a good couple of hours will put them in command. Can West Indies put up a spirited show with the ball and keep Australia in check? We'll find out as the the day progresses. Hello and welcome to Day 2 of the first Test in Dominica. There are a few clouds hovering over the ground, but there is nothing threatening on the radar. So it should be a fine day for cricket.
Start of Day 2:
That's all we have for you from Day 1 of this Test match. This is Sidhant Maheshwari, signing off on behalf of Sriram, Bharath and my co-commentators, Akshay Maanay and Ramakrishnan. Good night and take care!
Earlier in the day, Australia bowled out the hosts for a mere 148. There was no substantial contribution from the West Indies' batsmen. Shai Hope was the highest scorer with 36. The rest got starts but none of them converted it into a big one. Hazlewood was the pick of the Aussie bowlers, he picked up 3 wickets and was well aided by the rest of his mates. The Australian fielding was exceptional as they took all the half chances and pulled off some stunners as well.
Taylor and Holder were the standout bowlers for West Indies. They kept it tight and picked up a wicket each as well. Bishoo, though he was expensive, snaffled the big wicket of Clarke. However, the hosts will know that they need to take wickets at regular intervals, if they are to stay alive in this contest. The pitch has something in it for everyone and that should keep them interested.
Stumps, Day 1: West Indies have done well to stay in the game. Taylor was very impressive with the new ball, he bowled in the right areas and was aided by the pitch as well to get rid of Warner. Marsh and Smith started to build a partnership, but the former was never at ease. Finally, he went chasing at one and nicked off to first slip. Clarke came out and looked positive, but played one shot too many against Bishoo. Voges and Smith ensured that there were no more hiccups for the visitors till stumps.

Hello again.. Australia need 47 runs. Warner and Marsh out in the middle. Taylor to open the attack.
The Australian team is extremely happy and why not. The target for them now is just 47 runs and they should be able to chase this down today. When West Indies lost two early wickets yesterday, it looked like they were in serious trouble, but Dowrich and Samuels shared an excellent 144-run stand for the third wicket to lift the mood in the dressing room. However, once the stand was broken, the hosts lost the plot and Australia were able to take wickets at regular intervals. Starc was the pick of the bowlers as he took four wickets, while Hazlewood, Johnson and Lyon bagged two each. Take a short break and join us back in a short while for the Australian reply...

Michael Clarke was forced to bring himself on as his regular bowlers were not able to trouble the batsmen. As the partnership crossed hundred, the duo upped the ante. Hazlewood gave Australia something to cheer just before the tea break as he had Dowrich caught at silly mid-on to end his 144-run association with Samuels. West Indies have taken a slender lead and with the pitch flattening out, they need to bat sensibly from here to set a challenging target for the visitors.
Shane Dowrich and Marlon Samuels continued the good work after the lunch break and frustrated the Australian bowlers. Samuels reached his 22nd Test fifty, before Dowrich recorded his maiden Test fifty on debut. Both batsmen battled hard, saw off a tough phase and played their shots as they essayed fine fifties.

Welcome back... The umpires and players make their way out to the middle. The partnership between Samuels and Dowrich has looked good so far, but the hosts will need them to continue for a very long time. Australia, on the other end, need a few quick wickets. We are all set to start the post-lunch session. Hazlewood to resume proceedings. He has three slips and a gully in place...
The bowling remained disciplined - but they were up against two batsmen who were content to bide their time. Samuels did have a stroke of luck just before lunch, Haddin was early in removing the bails as he attempted a stumping chance. It was the only moment of concern as the pair cruised through - adding an unbroken 60-run stand for the fourth wicket. Can the hosts continue their dour approach in the post-lunch session? Join us at 12:40 local time for the resumption.
A fighting session of play from the hosts. They lost Darren Bravo very early - the left-hander mistimed the lofted off-drive and was brilliantly held by David Warner at mid-off. It turned out to be Australia's only success. Shane Dowrich put his head down and Marlon Samuels used the depth of the crease to good effect as the duo blunted the Aussie bowlers. Nathan Lyon found good purchase from the track while the pacers were rotated around in short spells.

Third umpire called for a stumping check. Brad Haddin looks very confident. Oh this is a tough one. Had Haddin waited for a while, he would have had his man. When he hit the stumps, Samuels had his back foot grounded. Once both the bails were off the groove, Samuels lifted his foot and that's a lucky escape

Three slips and a gully in place..
The players are out in the middle.. Will today be the last day of the Test? Can West Indies show some fight? The players are out in the middle..
The Australian bowlers though had something else in their mind. Johnson and Starc sent both openers off consecutive balls to leave West Indies in a spot of bother. With the pitch offering enough assistance to the bowlers to keep them interested, West Indies face a huge task of not just saving the game, but also of taking the game to day 4 in the first place. Live action follows in a short while. Stay tuned.
West Indies managed to bowl Australia out, but they were very disappointed with themselves towards the end of the Australian innings. The lack of a celebration after taking the final Aussie wicket, implied how frustrated they were. West Indies were made to bat for a total of 11 overs before stumps, a tricky period that they would have ideally wanted to bat through without much fuss.
However, debutant Adam Voges and the lower-order had other plans. Voges continued to bat solidly and was given good support by Johnson, Lyon and Hazlewood. With the tailenders doing well, Voges played his natural game and went on to register his maiden Test hundred, becoming the oldest debutant to hit a century. The last two wickets for Australia yielded a monumental 140 runs, helping them take a lead of 170.
With just two days gone, we have already witnessed so much action in this Test match. The match has progressed at a rapid pace and currently, West Indies are battling to try and save this game. After being bowled out for 148 in the first innings, West Indies would have thought that the match was in the balance when they had Australia at 126/6 yesterday.
Start of day 3
Having conceded a big first innings lead, West Indies needed a good start to their second innings, but both the Mitchells, Johnson and Starc, removed Shai Hope and Kraigg Brathwaite off successive deliveries to hurt the hosts. They now trail Australia by 145 runs and will have to play extremely well in the morning session on Day 3 to avoid an innings defeat. Meanwhile, Australia will back themselves to begin well tomorrow as the pitch is offering some assistance to the bowlers. That's it from us on Day 2. Join us back at 10:00 local tomorrow for all the action from the third day. Goodbye!
After the lunch break, Bishoo came back to remove Johnson and Mitchell Starc in quick succession, but Voges was able to form another handy partnership, this time with Nathan Lyon. Josh Hazlewood then showed great application and was determined to give good support to Voges, who farmed the strike and took the attack to the bowlers. A while later, as the partnership blossomed, Voges became the oldest player overall to record a Test hundred on debut. Soon Hazlewood too upped the ante to extend the lead past 150 before being knocked over by Marlon Samuels. In the end, Australia managed to add 140 runs for the last two wickets.
Stumps, Day 2: Although West Indies began the day on a positive note, they lost their way and Adam Voges led a brilliant recovery to help Australia gain a very good first innings lead. Steve Smith and Adam Voges started off on a cautious note, but a tight spell from Devendra Bishoo forced Smith to attempt a big shot and was stumped by a long way. With a bit of assistance from the pitch, Bishoo generated good amount of turn and had Shane Watson caught at second slip. When he knocked over Brad Haddin with a peach - the ball pitched almost outside leg stump and turned square to hit the top of off stump - it looked like West Indies would keep the visitors in check, but Mitchell Johnson played sensibly and shared a fifty partnership with Voges to steady things.

Clarke: "Tough fight today. I thought West Indies fought exceptionally hard. And credit to our bowlers. They found a way to take wickets on a wicket that was really slow and hard work for the fast bowlers. West Indies deserve a lot of credit, but our bowlers just stuck at it, nice and patient. The fielding throughout the game was really good and with the way Warner and Marsh went about the chase, is the way we like to play cricket. We need to be aggressive in the second Test as well. He (Voges) is a class act. He deserved this opportunity, he has put runs on the board. He rightfully deserves that opportunity, and with his maturity and experience showed that he grabbed it with both hands."
Ramdin: "It was tough and we knew they were going to come at us all the time. We were disappointed with our first innings total, but young Dowrich showed the character which everyone should have shown. Samuels batted well, but didn't carry on and we kept losing wickets consistently. If we had scored a big score in the first innings, it would have set-up the match. Adam Voges batted really well for them and set it up. Bishoo was fantastic, he kept bowling great deliveries and magical deliveries. Well done to him, didn't get the opportunity to bowl in the second innings. Hopefully, in Jamaica he will do well. We know we can bowl them out, they are a very good batting unit."
Voges: "It has been a perfect 3 days. To get a chance to play for Australia was a great moment. It was an all-round effort. The boys did well to restrict them and then the tailenders supported me."
Adam Voges is the Man of the Match
Australia came out with sheer intent to finish the game off in a hurry. Warner started off in belligerent fashion, smacking the bowlers all around the park, before he edged one off Taylor when Australia were 5 shy of their target. Smith came out and made sure that there were no more hiccups. Not to forget, Australia's fielding was exceptional in this game. They took all the half chances and made sure that West Indies were always chasing the leather.
West Indies started poorly in the second innings as well. Johnson and Starc sent both openers off consecutive balls to put them in a spot of bother. At stumps on day 2, West Indies were 25/2. They didn't start well today as well as they lost Darren Bravo early. Dowrich and Samuels though played with great composure and got together for a 144-run union, frustrating the Australian bowlers. However, Dowrich's wicket opened the floodgates and West Indies lost their last 7 wickets for a paltry 35 runs, giving Australia a target of 47 runs to go 1-0 up in the series.
Watson and Haddin too didn't last long, leaving Australia at 126/6 at that point. Voges though played a brilliant knock and along with the tail, he batted sensibly to extend Australia's lead. In that process, he went on to score his maiden Test ton on his debut, becoming the oldest player to achieve this feat. The last 4 Australian wickets yielded 198 runs. Voges remained unbeaten and Australia finished their innings on 318, taking a lead of 170 runs.
Australia though didn't start well with the bat either. After they lost Warner early, Marsh and Smith tried to stitch a partnership, before Marsh went edging Holder to first slip. Clarke too didn't bat for long and it was left for Smith and the debutant Voges to bail them out when Australia were struggling at 61/3. Smith though never looked comfortable and got out on the morning of the second day.
After winning the toss, West Indies were going at a decent pace when they were 63/1, with Shai Hope and Darren Bravo at the crease. However, the Australian bowlers came back superbly and combined with some poor shots, West Indies lost their last 9 wickets for 85 runs. Hazlewood was the pick of the Australian bowlers as he snaffled 3 wickets. He was well supported by Johnson and Starc, who took 5 wickets between them.
