Australia moved into a 171-run lead at lunch on the third day of the first Test at the Kensington Oval on Friday as dropped catches continued to plague the West Indies. Having trailed at the midway point by just 10 runs, the tourists now hold a commanding lead as they progressed to 181-5 in their second innings.

Travis Head and Beau Webster batted through most of the morning in a fifth-wicket stand of 102 — the first century partnership of the match. Head was the lone wicket to fall, trapped lbw for 61 by Shamar Joseph 20 minutes before the interval.
