At stumps, the West Indies were 13-1, a lead of 35 runs, after Chanderpaul was given out on review for the faintest of edges off Josh Hazlewood in the last over of the night.

After bowling the West Indies out for 311 in their first innings midway through the opening session of the day-night Test, Australia staged a lower innings recovery, allowing captain Pat Cummins to declare at 289-9 late in the night session.
That decision paid off with the late dismissal of Chanderpaul.
The Australians had got away to a disastrous start to their first innings and were reduced to 24-4 and 54-5. Kemar Roach, who took three of the first four wickets to fall, said the inexperienced West Indies side wanted to show they belong in Test cricket.
"They want to do well against the number one team in the world, so the guys are really up for the challenge," he said.
"I'm glad of the energy we brought today and it puts us in a pretty even position."
