West Indies fast bowler Jayden Seales has been fined 15% of his match fee and was given one demerit point for his fiery send-off to Pat Cummins on the first day of the opening Test against Australia in Bridgetown.

He breached Level 1 of the ICC code of conduct and a demerit point was added to Seales' disciplinary record as it was the second offence in a 24-month period, according to the International Cricket Council.

Australia's top order faltered once again on day two of their first Test with the West Indies in what looks set to be a low-scoring encounter. 

At stumps, Australia was struggling at 92-4, leading by just 82 runs, after bowling their opponents out for 190 in their first innings at the Kensington Oval on Friday. 

West Indies started the day 123 runs behind Australia with Roston Chase and Brandon King at the crease, but the tourists were able to strike quickly through Josh Hazlewood.

While the on-field action has been intense, much of the spotlight has shifted off the pitch, with TV umpire Adrian Holdstock at the centre of a brewing controversy. West Indies head coach Daren Sammy voiced his frustration after a series of contentious DRS decisions, revealing that he had approached the match referee in search of clarity.

Sammy’s concerns highlight growing tensions over umpiring consistency, as the West Indies camp feels aggrieved by calls that could have a significant impact on the outcome of the match.

"We only hope for consistency in the decision making. When there's doubt in something, just be consistent across the board."

"From the images that we're seeing, the decisions are not fair enough for both teams. I've asked the match referee for a sit down. We're all humans, mistakes will be made, I just want fairness."

The frustration rises in the Windies camp as they shell another catch. Alzarri Joseph gets one to lift and seam away from a length, inducing Travis Head's outside edge. But Justin Greaves puts it down at second slip and the dangerous Aussie southpaw gets another life. Let's see how much the hosts have to pay for this.

AUS: 110/4 (38 overs)

Beau Webster and Travis Head are cashing in now on anything remotely loose. Runs are flowing freely and both batters are in their 40s. The fifth-wicket partnership is worth 77 runs from 120 balls and the Windies really need a breakthrough at this point.

AUS: 142/4 (45 overs)

West Indies have the breakthrough they dearly wanted. Travis Head falls to one that stays really low, Shamar Joseph the benefactor. The back-of-length ball shoots under Head's bat and he is trapped in front. The pitch helps out the hosts and Alex Carey walks out to the middle to join Beau Webster.

AUS: 171/5 (54 overs)

So the morning session comes to an end at the Kensington Oval with the Aussies just losing one wicket, though the big one of Travis Head. They have scored 89 runs in 24 overs, with Beau Webster (49 not out off 98) severe on anything awry from the Windies bowlers.

The match perhaps hangs in the balance as of now, and the home team need to continue picking up wickets to avoid chasing an unmanageable total on this tricky surface.

AUS: 181/5 (57 overs)

The post-lunch session begins and Beau Webster wastes no time in getting to his fifty. The tall all-rounder takes 100 balls to reach the landmark and it's a critical knock in challenging conditions. The lead has swelled to 179 runs and anything over 250 is going to be tricky for West Indies in the fourth innings.

AUS: 189/5 (59 overs)

Beau Webster falls for 63 to an unfortunate tickle down the leg side as Shamar Joseph picks up his third wicket. It's DRS that comes to West Indies' rescue as UltraEdge confirms a snick. Meanwhile, Alex Carey continues on his merry ways and races away to a 40-ball 50. He has the Australian captain Pat Cummins for company and this partnership could take the game away from the hosts.

AUS: 245/6 (67 overs)

The Windies continue to chip away with the wickets, as Joseph pace duo Alzarri and Shamar accounts for Pat Cummins and Mitchell Starc. But the Aussies are piling on vital lower-order runs in the process and the lead has now swelled to a daunting 268 runs. Alex Carey marches on and is shepherding No. 10 Nathan Lyon.

AUS: 278/8 (74 overs)

Alex Carey falls for a crucial 75-ball 65 and Nathan Lyon is joined by Josh Hazlewood. The last-wicket stand is now adding on the agony for West Indies, who have opted for the new ball but are still leaking runs. The lead has stretched to 297 runs now and surely, the Aussies are inching ahead in this match.

AUS: 307/9 (81 overs)

Australia are finally bowled out for 310. Josh Hazlewood plays on Shamar Joseph's delivery and the talented 25-year-old seamer thus completes another five-wicket haul against the Aussies. He returns figures of 5-87 as tea is taken in Barbados. West Indies need 301 runs to win this Test and will commence their chase in the third and final session.

AUS: 310 all out (81.5 overs)

Kraigg Brathwaite and John Campbell stride out to the middle. Mitchell Starc has the ball in hand for the Aussies. The veteran left-arm seamer opens up Brathwaite off the very first ball, and then almost has him chopping on off the next. Starc ends up snaring him with the last ball of the over as the right-hander clips it straight to Sam Konstas at backward square.

WI: 10/1 (2 overs)

Well, well, well. West Indies are in deep trouble already. Josh Hazlewood switches ends and immediately gets the reward, dismissing John Campbell and Brandon King off successive deliveries to leave the hosts three down in the 11th over. The 301-run target seems miles away right now.

WI: 48/3 (11 overs)

The situation goes from bad to worse for the home team. Josh Hazlewood accounts for Roston Chase and Keacy Carty too and West Indies' hopes of chasing the 301-run target are virtually extinguished. Shai Hope and Justin Greaves at the crease now, and at least one of them has to play the innings of his life if the Caribbean side are to pull off this miracle.

WI: 61/5 (19 overs)

The Windies are eight down now and with the result a foregone conclusion, are swinging their bats like there's no tomorrow. Amidst the ruins, Justin Greaves has stood out with his eye-catching drives and composed batting. But he might soon run out of partners. Play has been extended for half an hour to try and get a result tonight itself. Meanwhile, Josh Hazlewood completes a well-deserved fifer.

WI: 86/8 (26.3 overs)

What a last half hour we have had. Shamar Joseph played a thoroughly entertaining innings, smashing 44 runs off 22 balls to delight the crowd amid an overall dismal batting show. But Nathan Lyon snared him in the final over of the day, and then dismissed Jayden Seales off the next ball to push Australia to victory at the fag end of the extended third session. West Indies lose by a massive 159-run margin in Barbados.

WI (191 and 141) lose to AUS (180 and 310) by 159 runs
