Cricket: Sam Konstas lean run in the West Indies has continued after he was bowled for a duck in the first over of Australia's second innings.
Konstas BOWLED for 0 in 1st over | 00:36The second Test hangs in the balance after West Indies speedster Jayden Seales dismissed both of Australia’s openers in a damaging late spell on day two at Grenada ’s National Cricket Stadium.
The Australians are 2-12 at stumps, leading by 45 runs, with Cameron Green and nightwatcher Nathan Lyon unbeaten overnight.Earlier on Friday, a career-best performance from Brandon King and a lower-order fightback denied the Australians a substantial first-innings lead in St. George’s. The West Indies were bowled out for 253 in 73.2 overs after King cracked a stylish 75, the highest score of the series to date, with veteran spinner Lyon claiming three wickets.
West Indies opener John Campbell raced towards 40 with an assortment of aggressive strokes before throwing his wicket away late in the morning session, charging at all-rounder Beau Webster and miscuing a lofted glance towards mid-on. The dismissal prompted a brief collapse of 3-5 from 21 balls — at the other end, King gloved a wayward delivery from Lyon down the leg side, with gloveman Alex Carey snaffling the catch and Australian vice-captain Steve Smith deploying another excellent review.
