West Indies in trouble vs Australia after enforced follow on
HOBART, Australia (AP) Fast bowler James Pattinson took four quick wickets to run through the West Indies top order Saturday and put Australia in sight of a big innings victory over the West Indies in the first test.
After a rain-enforced early lunch on the third day at Bellerive Oval, the West Indies were 35-5 in their second innings and 325 runs behind after Australian captain Steve Smith enforced the follow-on in the morning session.
The West Indies still trail and are effectively six wickets down with injured paceman Shannon Gabriel (left ankle) unable to bat.
Pattinson (4-19) took up where Josh Hazlewood left off in a West Indies first innings dominated by century-maker Darren Bravo (108).
Pattinson haul included the second-innings wicket of Bravo for four, ensuring the West Indies batsman was dismissed twice in 37 minutes.
The West Indies resumed on 207-6 Saturday morning in their first innings before Hazlewood (4-45) cleaned up the tail.
Bravo brought up his seventh test century before the West Indies first innings ended on 223-9. Resuming on 94, he hit two boundaries off Peter Siddle in the first over Saturday to reach the century mark.
Australia declared its first innings on 583-4.
