Josh Hazlewood claimed five wickets as Australia wrapped up an emphatic 159-run victory against West Indies in the first Test in Barbados. West Indies lost all 10 of their second-innings wickets in the evening session on day three of the contest as Australia showed their ruthlessness to close out the match with two days to spare. However, Hazlewood swung the momentum Australia's way as he ran through the West Indies top order during a characteristically controlled spell which saw four wickets fall for just nine runs. From 56-5 it was always going to be an uphill struggle for West Indies, even though Justin Greaves (38 not out) and Shamar Joseph (44) provided some late entertainment. Earlier, Australia had made a battling 310 in their second innings after Alex Carey had top scored with a punchy 65.
