The shock of the day came when Australia went in to bat in the second innings with a healthy lead of 120, but the Windies bolwers seemed to have other ideas and sent the top order reeling.At end of days play and 10 overs later Australia had their top four batsman in the pavillion with the score only at 17. Edwards and Powell chipped in with 2 wickets a piece. Night watchman, Johnson and Brad Hodge were at the crease and will be looking to stabilise the innings when they come out again.
