Australia holds significant 409-run lead over West Indies after day two of second Test at Adelaide Oval

Australia is in a strong position on day two of the second Test against West Indies in Adelaide, reducing the tourists to 4-102 after declaring on 7-511.

Marnus Labuschagne (163) and Travis Head (175) made 297 together for the fourth wicket to set up Australia's declaration shortly before the tea break, just as the lights began to take affect at Adelaide Oval.

With the new pink ball moving off the seam, West Indies toiled through the final session under lights, ending the day 409 runs behind and with any hope of salvaging something from the series rapidly evaporating.
