back with the live coverage of the seconds days play

Until then it's Good Bye
Match State: Stumps - Day 1
Hello and welcome to the live coverage of the second days play
Day one was dominated by the Australian batsmen, a total of 391runs
were scored from the stipulated 90 overs at a run rate of 4.34
Dillon got the early breakthroughs with some help from umpire Asoka
de Silva and at one point Australia were 56 for 2 and then came
Ponting and Lehmann, they put up a 315 run partnership for the
third wicket
Pointing (146*) got to his 16th Test hundred and Lehmann (160) got
to his first
The bowlers had a tough time out in the middle, it was dry, hot,
humid and the batsmen were in punishing mood
Even though the new ball was due Lara decided not to take it, he
will be hoping that his bowlers will be able to come back today
into the game with the new ball
Ponting is still there and with Gilchrist at the other end it looks
like it will be another tough day for the West Indian bowlers

and that's stumps on day two
we hope you have enjoyed the coverage
we will be back with the live coverage of the third days play
tomorrow at 14.00 GMT
be sure to join us then
until then it's Good Bye from all of us here
Match State: Stumps - Day 2
Hello and Welcome to the live coverage of the third days play
Adam Gilchrist was promoted up the order to do a job and he did it
to perfection yesterday, scoring a brilliant century of just 104
balls and in the process lifting the Australian total to 576
Once Gilchrist got to his hundred Steve Waugh declared
The Australian opening bowlers started off in style, Jason
Gillespie took the wicket of opener Devon Smith with his fifth
ball
and Brett Lee did his part, taking the wicket of the Wavell Hinds
soon after and West Indies were 25 for 2
and then Daren Ganga and Brian Lara came together and put up a 158
runs partnership for the third wicket
Lara played a gem of an innings but was sadly out just before the
close of play, his 91 from 120 balls consisted of 10 fours and 3
glorious sixes
West Indies need another 190 runs to avoid follow-on, can Ganga and
Sarwan do it
Well we will have to wait and see
the players are out in the middle and we are all set for the start
of the third days play

Australia won by 118 runs
Once again a professional performance from the Australians
the day started with West Indies needing 300 runs to win with seven
wickets in hand
Lara and Sarwan held on till Lunch adding 103 runs and keeping
hopes alive
Lara scoring a glorious hundred, his 21st in Tests, his first in
front of his home crowd and the 8th against the Australians
things were going on fine for the West Indians until Andy Bichel
came along to bowl
he picked up three quick wickets and things changed dramatically
and once Lara fell, it was just the matter of when
Australia now lead the four Test series 2-0
