A wrestle of a fourth day moved the first Test between Australia and the West Indies gradually towards its conclusion, as Australia had to make do without the bowling of captain Pat Cummins in a contest where bat continued to have the better of ball.
Marnus Labuschagne completed twin centuries in taking Australia to a declaration at 182-2, setting West Indies five sessions to survive and a runs target of 498. A 116-run opening partnership got the visitors going, which West Indies captain Kraigg Brathwaite turned into a century of his own just before stumps. He had kept his team hanging on at 192-3.
