4.55pm Cummins and co. wrap up West Indies for 283, giving Australia a first-innings lead of 315. Australia will bat again. Do stick with us for that. Australia have opted for the heavy roller

Eusha: "When would the WI escape from this "perpetually trying to avoid defeat" universe?"

Eye of Sauron: "Australia have conceded 27 leg byes so far--its the most they have conceded in a test innings. "

Cummins to Joseph, OUT, Top-edged into the hands of midwicket. Warner settles under it and sprints back to get ready to open the batting for Australia. Pounded into the middle of the deck, gets high up to the chest, Joseph splices it to Warner

Cummins to Chase, OUT, Cummins spins around for an lbw appeal, and the finger goes up. Cummins has trapped Chase after drinks. Full and skidding in from over the wicket, shoots low and thuds into the back pad below the knee-roll in front of middle. No bat involved and that's so plumb that Chase does not even bother to review. It would have crashed into middle stump. Cummins punches his fist in the air

4.39pm Thanks Gnasher. WI are still 316 runs behind. "I think that's the way I do it and bring the stumps into play," Mitch Starc tells the host broadcaster during the break. "Been patient throughout the day; hopefully a few more rewards. Have picked up a few things from Josh and Pat over the years."
