Elation then despair for double-ton Marnus

Marnus Labuschagne has survived a couple of late scares on the way to posting the second double century of his glittering Test career.

Labuschagne ended day one of the first Test against the West Indies unbeaten on 154, putting Australia in the dominant position of 2-293 at stumps at Optus Stadium.
