Smith departed after making just five runs.
After nearly missing out on a half-century in the first innings of the WI vs AUS 3rd Test, Australia top-order batter, Steve Smith, departed on a paltry score of five in the second innings. An inside edge off West Indies bowler, Alzarri Joseph, dismantled Smith’s middle and off stumps.
Charging in with raw pace, Alzarri produced a fullish delivery for Smith in the ninth over. The right-handed batter, who was initially unsettled by bouncers, fell prey and made minimal foot movement. The ball deflected from the bat to the pads and went through the stumps like a textbook fast bowler’s dismissal.

The second innings for Australia started in similar fashion. Sam Konstas departed after a five-ball duck. Usman Khawaja was looking to settle down with a 14-off-21, before he was bowled by Shamar Joseph. Smith was taken out in the ninth over. A partnership was forming between Cameroon Green and Travis Head, and later Beau Webster, but wickets continued to fall for Australia. Alex Carey also walked back with a three-ball duck.
Green (42) and Cummins (5) are unbeaten on the crease as Australia, at 99/6, still hold a lead of 181 runs. The visitors would like to add another 40-50 odd runs for the West Indies to chase. Australia would then hope to take quick wickets and complete the series with a clean sweep, as they have already clinched the series 2-0.
The action will resume at midnight IST.
