Steve Smith's resilient innings and Cameron Green's composed half-century helped Australia regain control on a rain-affected third day. The visitors now hold a strong lead on a tricky pitch, aiming to seal the series 2-0.

Steve Smith has rescued Australia after yet another top order capitulation to steer the Tourists towards a defendable total in the second Test against the West Indies.
