Australia six wickets from victory over West Indies in the second Test after dominant day three

An extraordinary triple-wicket maiden from Scott Boland has helped Australia all but seal a 2-0 series victory over the West Indies at the Adelaide Oval, needing just six wickets to wrap up the match with two days to play.

Boland claimed the wickets of Kraigg Brathwaite (3), Shamarh Brooks (0) and Jermaine Blackwood (0) in his first over of the innings to further enhance the legendary start to his Test match career.

The Victorian, with figures of 3-9 off six overs this innings, now has 21 wickets in four Tests at an average of 10 — 15 of those in the second innings.
