Aus v WI 2nd Test, Day 3 - Statistical Highlights

Darren Bravo and debutant Carlos Brathwaite recovered West Indies from 91/6 overnight to 271 all out. They still failed to avoid the follow on though Australia didn’t enforce it and Steve Smith decided to bat again.

Later on, Australia scored a mammoth 179 runs in the last session, with Smith and Khawaja scoring half centuries. The lead is already 459 runs and the match is almost out of Windies reach. It looks difficult for the visitors to even save this match unless for a miracle.
