Smith, Green Extend Australia Lead Over West Indies in Second Test Grenada

News summary

In the second Test between Australia and the West Indies in Grenada, half-centuries from Steve Smith and Cameron Green transformed Australia's precarious position into dominance on day three. Australia recovered from 12-2 to reach 221-7 at stumps, establishing a lead of 254 runs despite multiple rain delays and challenging pitch conditions that featured unpredictable low bounce. Nightwatchman Nathan Lyon supported the innings with a patient performance before Green and Smith steadied the team, with Green scoring a confident 52 at No. 3 and Smith reaching 71 before being dismissed lbw. Despite being hit on a previously injured pinkie, Smith played aggressively, and with contributions from Travis Head and Alex Carey, Australia looked poised to set a challenging target near 300 runs. The Australians are seeking a series-clinching win at a venue where they have never played a Test before, relying on their strong batting recovery and potent bowling attack to pressure the West Indies. The match is likely to extend into a fourth day due to rain interruptions, but Australia holds control heading into the final stages.
