Australia have taken a 110-run first innings lead after dismissing the West Indies for 218 in the third Test in Dominica on Wednesday.

Resuming on 8-165, the Windies managed to add 53 runs on the third morning with Nathan Lyon and Mitchell Starc taking the last two wickets.

Veteran Shivnarine Chanderpaul was the last man dismissed, trapped LBW by Starc (2-29) after scoring a vital 68 for the hosts.

Lyon finished the innings with four wickets in another impressive display after his five-wicket haul in the second Test in Trinidad last week.

The off-spinner claimed the first wicket of the morning, removing Ravi Rampaul for 31 when the No.10 mis-timed a drive to David Warner to end a 66-run stand with Chanderpaul.

But the expected quick finish didn’t emerge as Chanderpaul combined with last man Kemar Roach (9no) in a frustrating 32-run last wicket stand that held Australia up for about an hour.

Ben Hilfenhaus, Ryan Harris and Warner all finished with one wicket each while Ed Cowan had three catches and a run out to has name in an active fielding display.

Aside from Chanderpaul and Rampaul, Kieran Powell (40) and Adrian Barath (29) played the only innings of any substance for the Windies, who face an uphill battle to claim the victory they need to level the three-match series.
