Australia (AUS) have clinched the three-match Test series against West Indies (WI) with a 2-0 lead but there’s plenty to play for in the third Test. The day-night pink ball Test will take place at Sabina Park in Kingston, Jamaica. 

West Indies put on a better show in the second game but could not level the series, losing by 133 runs. Alzarri Joseph snared 4 for 61 in the first innings while Brandon King scored 75 to reduce the deficit to 33 runs. They were given a target of 277 in the fourth innings but none of the batters could occupy the crease. 

For Australia, Alex Carey and Beau Webster made 60s after they were reduced to 110/5. Cameron Green and Steve Smith registered fifties in the second innings. Nathan Lyon picked three wickets in each innings while Mitch Starc claimed 3 for 24 in the second.
