West Indies make slow progress in third Test against Australia
In stark contrast to the frenetic final session of day one under lights when eight wickets fell for 103 runs, the home side found free scoring almost impossible on a seamer-friendly surface against a bowling attack offering very few scoring opportunities.
Just 57 runs came off 23 overs for the loss of the two wickets.
Josh Hazlewood and Pat Cummins were the successful bowlers on a humid afternoon, accounting for the overnight pair of Brandon King and Roston Chase.
King was trapped lbw by a full delivery from Hazlewood while Australian captain Cummins removed his West Indian counterpart via an edge to Usman Khawaja at first slip as Chase failed to effectively negotiate a ball which lifted sharply off a good length.
Those two wickets brought together John Campbell and Mikyle Louis, the selected openers, who were unable to take their appointed positions at the top of the order late on day one due to injuries sustained while fielding.
Australia, who made 225 after choosing to bat, are seeking a clean sweep of the series after victories in the first two Tests in Barbados and Grenada.
West Indies' last Test match victory over Australia in the Caribbean was in 2003 when they set a new record for successful run-chases in Test cricket in reaching 418 for seven in Antigua to deny Ricky Ponting's team of a whitewash of the four-match series.
