AUS vs WI pink ball Test | Steve Smith guides Australia to healthy position at stumps

The Hindu  

Steve Smith capped off “a pretty good day” for Australia, guiding the hosts to 60-2 at stumps on the third day of the second Test against the West Indies in Brisbane on January 27. Australia had wrapped up the West Indian second innings for 193 shortly after the tea break when No.11 Shamar Joseph had to retire hurt after being hit on the toe by a Mitchell Starc bouncer. McKenzie has had a good tour and the stylish left-hander moved comfortably to 41 before he tried to sweep off-spinner Nathan Lyon and was trapped leg before, leaving the West Indies 86-3. First innings top-scorer Joshua Da Silva didn’t last long, caught by Green on the second attempt off Starc to leave the West Indies 157-6, 179 runs in front.
