Australia made a steady start to the third day’s play against the West Indies and went to lunch on 65 for 3, having extended their lead to 102 runs.
Beginning the morning on 12 for 2 with a slender lead of 45, the tourists found themselves under pressure in conditions marked by intermittent rain. Nightwatchman Nathan Lyon was the first to fall, edging Alzarri Joseph to the slips for eight, where John Campbell held a sharp catch.
Steve Smith then joined Cameron Green at the crease, and the pair have looked increasingly assured on a pitch that is becoming slower and lower as the match progresses. Their partnership is now worth 41 valuable runs.
