Live: Lyon out as Australia faces West Indies in first overseas day-night Test

It doesn’t get much more even than the third Test between England and India at Lord’s.

Both teams scored exactly 387 in their first innings.

Both digs featured one century-maker who then immediately got out, supported by two 50s and a duck.

All eyes have rightly been on Shubman Gill, Jamie Smith, Rishabh Pant etc, but KL Rahul with this first-innings ton has 336 runs for the series at 67.20.

It’s been one for the batters, with nine players tonning up and eight players averaging over 50.

Good running from the Australian pair, who get three after Konstas works one into the on-side.

Big shout! Khawaja is struck on the pads in such a quintessentially Khawaja way. His footwork is nowhere as he’s trying to flick Alzarri through the on-side. The West Indies are up in a big way, but it’s probably sliding down. No review.

Khawaja squeezes one out leg-side and the batters run a couple.

Wayward and down the leg-side from Alzarri. Khawaja watches it through to Hope.

It’s a dot to end a five run over for Australia.

Not quite free flowing, expansive stuff from the opening pair but they’ve done extremely well to survive the first hour in Jamaica.

We’ll have a drink.

Runs! Khawaja squirts one out forward of square and the batters run a single.

Another single! Poor from Shamar, too straight and Konstas is able to work his own leg-side run this time.

Peach! Khawaja’s footwork is nowhere as he dangles his bat at one that pitches and moves away and is collected by Shai Hope.

First sign of aggression from Khawaja, who’s trying to pull Shamar but isn’t timing it.

That’s a very optimistic shout from A. Joseph. Konstas is hit on the pads by one angling down leg and going over the top. No review.

That is a peach! Konstas is cut in half by one that pitches and moves away from him.

More assured this time from Konstas, who’s back and defending a similar ball.

It’s seriously stodgy stuff out there – 13 runs from nearly 11 overs.

Konstas prepares for the final ball of Alzarri’s second over.

He’s defending and that’s yet another maiden.

Actually, it’s not. That last ball is called a no-ball.

The final, final ball is wide down the leg side and through to Hope.

After a pretty disappointing start, Shamar Joseph is trying his luck from the other end.

And it’s a better look on him. Coming around the wicket, Khawaja is playing and missing at a couple on a fourth stump line.

Ouch! Khawaja cops a short one on the shoulder after shaping to come down the wicket to Shamar.

Khawaja is defending to end undoubtedly Shamar’s best over of the day so far.

Shot! First boundary of the match and it’s a good one from Sam Konstas. Alzarri’s first ball is loose and short and Konstas stands tall, swivels and pulls him in-front of square.

The Australians will be delighted that they’ve managed to see off the first of the two Josephs.

Not exactly thrill a minute stuff from the two batters – but they’re both still out there.

Konstas tries his luck selling Khawaja another tight single, but the 38-year-old is having none of it.

And Konstas is back and defending to end the over.

Edge! This one comes back into Konstas, who is back and defending unconvincingly. The ball kisses his outside edge, but it falls well short of the cordon.

That’s better from Konstas – his first shot of authority in some time. He doesn’t get a run, but is looking good as he drives one off the back foot into the off-side infield.

He swings at another wide one, making contact but not good contact. It dies in the square and that’s another dot.

Too straight from Seales and Konstas is able to work one off the hip for a single to end the over.

He’s once again looking a bit nervous out there, is Samm K.

Seales has him defending to begin the over.

Konstas is 1 from 18 and Khwaja 2 from 22 – not quite a swashbuckling start from the Australian openers.

Konstas is trying to push one back past Seales but it can’t get past mid-on.

Brutal! This one moves a mile off the seam, back in towards Konstas. He wears one on the torso.

Konstas misses out on a wayward one down the leg-side.

Run! Not overly convincing, but Konstas finally has his second run, courtesy of a squeezed single in front of point.

Well, Seales found some serious rhythm in that previous over – can Shamar do the same from the other end?

Not to begin.

Khawaja, once again, is more than happy to leave a couple wide ones.

Khawaja is playing! For the first time in a couple overs, Usman is forced to use his bat. He’s defending a good one from Joseph.

And again.

Play in a miss! Pitching on a fourth stump line and moving away, Khawaja is defending but getting none of it.

Much better from Joseph in the second half of that over.

Oh no! Massive confusion between the wickets from the Australians. Konstas works one into the on-side and he’s off straight away. However, there was never a run from that one. Khawaja sends him back, Khwaja is stranded out of his crease and just watches on as the shy at the stumps flies wide.

Drop! An unsettled Konstas is driving at one and he gets a thick outside edge on it. A diving second slipper – debutant Kevlon Phillips – gets both hands to it but its down. A tough chance but one that you’d hope would be taken.

And Konstas is leaving to end the over.

That’s a good one from S. Joseph! It’s fast, back of a length, rearing up and moving away. Khawaja sways out of the way.

Another wide one from Shamar is called.

I don’t think either of the West Indies opening bowlers will be particularly happy with their efforts early on in Jamaica. They haven’t made the Australian openers play enough.

Khawaja is happy to leave another wide one alone.

And again.

The final ball of the over is closer, but not close enough to make Khawaja play at it.

Just the wide from it.

The first ball of the over is pitched up and flirting with moving in towards Konstas, who’s defending.

It’s called a no-ball.

Konstas is leaving the next one.

Quite a brisk breeze out there.

That’s another no-ball from Seales – already three extras from the West Indies bowlers today.

Konstas is behind the next one – just the second ball he’s had to play at this over.

Caught behind shout! That looked close and there seemed to be a noise, but there’s only half an appeal as Shai Hope collects the ball behind the stumps. No review.

Massive morning for both of Khawaja and Konstas.

Shamar Joseph opens up from the Courtney Walsh end, and he’s wayward to begin. Way too wide and Khawaja is shouldering arms. It’s called a wide actually.

And again.

Of course, the last time Australia played the West Indies under lights, Shamar was electric, leading his side to an unlikely win at the Gabba in 2024.

But his hasn’t found his range yet in Jamaica, with Khawaja not having to play at the first five legal deliveries of the over.

However, he’s made the use the blade to finish things up, defending assuredly into the off-side.

It’s a beautiful sight, blue skies and ocean framing a sunlit Sabina Park.

Seales – who has looked so dangerous throughout the series – starts around the wicket to the left-handed Khawaja, who’s over the mark straightaway, pushing into the off side for a single.

Konstas squirts one out forward of point and he’s on the board as well. Fair amount of swing there for Seales.

This one rears up at Khawaja! And the use of the angle is making him look very uncomfortable as he wears one on the torso.

Khawaja works one off the toes for a single to end a successfully navigated first over.

As with any Test in the West Indies, we’re treated to three musical numbers to open this one.

The all-time classic that is Rally ‘Round the West Indies rounds out the pre-match proceedings, and we’re not far off from play getting underway.

We’ve just had a quick look at the pitch, which is being billed as a little more even than what we saw in Grenada and Barbados.

They’re now a mainstay of the Australian Test summer, but day/night Tests haven’t quite taken off in the same way internationally.

This third Test will be Australia’s first pink ball match away from home and the second the West Indies will have hosted in the format.

It’s also Sabina Park’s day/night debut.

Massive achievement from the left-arm strike bowler.

Here’s what he had to say about becoming just the second fast bowler to play 100 Tests for Australia.

Just the once change for Australia, but a whole host for the West Indies, including the opposite of their opponents’ call with spinner Jomel Warrican being recalled after missing the second Test. Anderson Phillip gets the axe.

They have also axed Kraigg Brathwaite, the former captain who played his 100th Test last week, and Keacy Carty.

Replacing them are Mikyle Louis, coming in for his 10th Test, and Kevlon Anderson, named to debut at number three.

West Indies XI: Mikyle Louis, John Campbell, Kevlon Anderson, Brandon King, Shai Hope, Roston Chase, Justin Greaves, Jomel Warrican, Alzarri Joseph, Shamar Joseph, Jayden Seales
