| Shivnarine Chanderpaul top scored with 68 |
Australia lost David Warner early in their second innings after Shivnarine Chanderpaul frustrated the Australians with a half-century on the second morning in Dominica. The final two West Indies pairs survived for an hour and a half and when the hosts were dismissed for 328 it left Australia four overs to face before lunch, and Kemar Roach picked up the important wicket of Warner.
At the break Australia were 18 for 1, with Ed Cowan on 6 and Shane Watson yet to score, and they led by 128 runs. The wicket had come when Warner, who had struck two boundaries in his 11, edged Roach to slip and was snapped up by Chanderpaul, and it was the perfect start for West Indies after their tail helped Chanderpaul to add some useful runs earlier in the day.
Chanderpaul didn't alter his batting style despite having to work with the tail-enders, and he struck only three boundaries in his 68 from 164 balls. He was the last man out, lbw to a straight ball from Mitchell Starc, who
finished with 2 for 29, and Australia had finally ended a 32-run partnership between Chanderpaul and Roach (9 not out).
West Indies added 53 to their overnight total for the loss of their last two wickets as the Australians struggled to find a way to terminate the innings. The day had started reasonably well for the visitors, who removed Ravi Rampaul after 21 runs had been added in the morning.
Rampaul (21) advanced to Nathan Lyon and tried to clear midwicket but succeeded only in lobbing a catch to point off a leading edge. Lyon ended up with 4 for 69 and moved into position as Australia's leading wicket taker of the series so far.
