ADELAIDE, Australia: The West Indies were all out for 120 in their second innings of the first Test against Australia in Adelaide on Friday morning, an overall lead of 25.

Josh Hazlewood took 5-35 off 14 high-quality overs.

Paceman Josh Hazlewood completed a five-wicket haul to leave Australia needing just 26 runs to defeat the West Indies in the first Test.

West Indies were bowled out for 120 some 65 minutes into Friday’s third day of play. The visiting side made 188 in their first innings with Australia replying with 283.

The 33-year-old followed his 4-41 in the first dig, which included his 250th Test wicket, with another stellar performance. He claimed five wickets in a Test innings for the 11th time. The West Indies resumed at 6-73 and lost Joshua Da Silva in the fourth over.

Da Silva (18) fell for an Australian trap. With two fielders on the leg side boundary, he hooked a short Mitchell Starc (2-46) delivery to Hazlewood at fine leg.

Starc took his second wicket soon after when Alzarri Joseph (16) wafted outside off stump and edged to wicketkeeper Alex Carey.

Hazlewood secured his latest milestone in the following over when he bowled Gudakesh Motie for three – the left-hander offered no shot and was clean.
