The West Indies reached 115 for three at stumps on day two of the first Test against Australia at Sabina Park in Jamaica, still 316 runs short of the tourists's first-innings tally.

Stuart Clark, often hailed as the 'new Glenn McGrath', was the man responsible for all three wickets to fall in the final session, accounting for Devon Smith, Ramnaresh Sarwan and Brenton Parchment.

Smith (32) was the first to go with the tally on 47, defending loosely and watching in horror as the ball rolled onto his stumps.

Next to go was skipper Sarwan (seven), who edged through to wicketkeeper Brad Haddin.

The last scalp of the day was that of opener Parchment, who fell for a dogged 60-ball nine, giving debutant Haddin his second catch.

From there on in the ever reliable Shivnarine Chanderpaul (25 not out) and Runako Morton (23 not out) saw their team to the close, keen to resume the charge again on Saturday.

Earlier Fidel Edwards claimed two more wickets in the second session to finish with figures of five for 104, as the Windies bowled Australia out for 431.

Edwards and fellow pacemen Darren Sammy and Daren Powell restricted the tourists, who started the day in a commanding position having posted 301 for four on Thursday.

After losing three wickets to reach 372 for seven at lunch, Australia lost Brett Lee, Clark and Stuart MacGill cheaply in the second session, leaving Andrew Symonds with a battling unbeaten 70.

Australia found the going tough all day and Lee was dismissed soon after lunch for four.

He was trapped lbw in bizarre fashion by Edwards after he started to duck what he thought was a bouncer only for the ball to keep low and hit his pad in line with off stump.

Symonds hit consecutive fours through gully and midwicket before Clark was dismissed after going for an ambitious drive off Daren Powel which was acrobatically caught by an airborne Dwayne Bravo at mid-off.

Symonds attempted one last push for runs and hit Sammy for a six and two fours in one over.

The big-hitting all-rounder was easily the pick of the Australian batsmen on Friday as he racked up 70 before MacGill became the last man out, bowled by the effervescent Edwards for two.

Day three should see an intriguing contest, as the Windies look to show the world that they are not the whipping boys of Test cricket.
