Josh Hazlewood starred for Australia with 5 for 43 as West Indies lost all 10 wickets in the final session on Day 3 to go down by 159 runs in the first Test. Nathan Lyon claimed the last two wickets off consecutive balls in what would have been the final over of the day, wrapping up a dominant win with two days to spare. Australia now lead the two-match series 1-0.

Set 301 to win, West Indies showed early signs of fight. Although they lost Kraigg Brathwaite in the first over to Mitchell Starc with a flick to backward square leg, they reached 47 for 1 through some adventurous batting by John Campbell and Keacy Carty, who was dropped by Cameron Green on 1. But then came the collapse.
