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 the 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 to open with 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 3 in the slips and he went onto make 45 runs.
