Australia Seize Control as Smith's Masterclass Extends Lead to 254

On Saturday at Grenada’s National Stadium, Steve Smith rescued Australia with an unbeaten 70 to help set a defendable total in the second Test.
Australia fell to 3/28 with seaming conditions and an inconsistent pitch, prompting Smith's crucial rescue innings.
Smith and Green added 93 runs, reaching tea at 4/175 with a 208-run lead as the pitch remained difficult.
Following Smith’s unbeaten 70, Australia are close to a series-clinching win at a venue where they’ve never played a Test, needing few more runs as West Indies seek early wickets.
Play resumes Sunday at Grenada's National Stadium, where the tricky pitch remains a challenge for West Indies in their attempt to chase a near 300-run target.
