Half-centuries to Alex Carey and Beau Webster as soon as once more helped Australia’s wobbly prime order with the West Indies claiming all 10 wickets on day one.
After Pat Cummins gained the toss and batted, a steadying opening partnership of 47 between Usman Khawaja and Sam Konstas was damaged when the previous was given out lbw.
A 3-3 collapse adopted, with Khawaja (15), Konstas (25) and Steve Smith (3) all a part of it.

Cameron Inexperienced (26) confirmed indicators of enchancment earlier than he edged to gully whereas a sharp catch dismissed Travis Head for 29 with the Aussies stranded at 5-110.
Carey and Webster then mixed for an vital 112-run partnership to provide Australia momentum.
Carey’s fall on 63 took them to 6-222 earlier than Webster was the second final wicket to fall when he was run out for 60.
Australia was then bowled out for 286, Nathan Lyon (11) edged behind off Alzarri Joseph who had the very best figures of 4-61.
On a day that included rain delays, the West Indies went out to the pitch in Grenada able to bat for 20 minutes earlier than stumps.
Nevertheless, the umpires pulled out their metres and judged the sunshine was not ok for play, bringing an finish to day one.
“Josh Hazlewood and Mitch Strac will probably be very disenchanted … a tough interval this is able to’ve been for West Indian batters so that they would be the happier of the lot,” Stacy-Ann King mentioned on ESPN.
