AUS vs WI 2024 1st Test Day 2 Live: Hello and welcome to our live coverage of Day 2 of 1st Test between Australia and West Indies at the Adelaide Oval.
Back with the action. Kraigg Brathwaite and Tagenarine Chanderpaul to open for the Windies.
…Third Innings…
Now then! West Indies need a good opening stand to lay the foundation. They have a lot of time but Australia will have their tail up. They will look for wickets straightaway. Let’s see if West Indies can end Day 2 without any bumps.
Australia lost Green right in the start of Day 2 but the man of the hour, Travis Head batted brilliantly to get his 7th ton in the Test match. Despite losing wickets, he played his aggressive game and got te deficit cut out. The tail didn’t add much as West Indies were consistent enough to take wickets regularly. Shamar Joseph as told before, ended with five wickets on his debut while Justin Greaves and Kemar Roach ended with two each.
A kiss on the badge as Shamar Joseph leads his team out with the red-cherry in his hand. What a moment for the debutant. A five-fer against a prime Aussie team is what you always dream of. So, Australia have added around 23 runs and have ended with a lead of 95 runs. Recap of what happened quickly – The idea of Steven Smith didn’t work this time as Shamar Joseph got the big wicket on his very first ball. He followed it with the wicket of Marnus Labuschagne as well. Usman Khawaja was dropped on three in the slips and he went onto make 45 runs.
