Three slips, a gully and a FSL in place as Hazlewood steams in..
We are back at the MCG. How will West Indies respond? Kraigg Brathwaite got some runs in the second innings in Hobart, but Rajendra Chandrika has scores of 0, 0, 25 and 0 in his four Test innings so far.
Perfect timing from Smith. The main target was to get to 550 and along the way reach the milestones. The duo managed to do just on the hour mark. First it was Smith who brought up his 13th Test hundred and went past Alastair Cook as the leading run-scorer for the year, Voges soon followed notching up his 4th Test ton. The pair were involved in an unbroken 223-run stand - second 200-plus stand of the innings. Meanwhile, West Indies were playing for the declaration as the bulk of the bowling was done by the two Brathwaite's. Stay tuned as the Aussie bowlers will be steaming in soon...

Smith and Voges stride out. It is bright and sunny - perfect conditions for a game of cricket. Taylor is at the start of his run-up. Holder is right next to him, setting the field. Two slips and a gully to start proceedings. All set to roll...
The visitors though struck late in the day and sent back the centurions. Steven Smith has since looked good in his brief stay and Adam Voges is coming into this Test on the back of a big double hundred. So, the task is cut out for Holder and Co. If West Indies have to stay alive in the game, they need quick wickets. The ball is still new and there will be assistance early in the morning. Can they make the most of it? Stay tuned as the first ball isn't too far away...
Day 2: Shaun Marsh made a brilliant 182 in the first Test and looked most certain to start this game. However, the selectors persisted with Joe Burns and made way for the fit-again Usman Khawaja. Two batsmen under pressure to performance and boy did they deliver. The pair got together after David Warner had set them rolling, they took their time initially and once set, the duo played some eye-catching shots. The partnership was worth 258 and what was pleasing is, both batsmen never really gave a chance for the West Indian bowlers.
That brings an end to proceedings. The 50000-plus crowd at the MCG got their money's worth as Burns and Khawaja racked up hundreds. What will happen at Durban? Where South Africa take on England. Switch tabs and follow the action from that game. For now, it is goodbye from here...
Once the pair was set, they were not afraid to play their shots. And once they started doing that, Holder was lost for ideas. Both batters got to their respective tons soon after the tea break. With a partnership of 258, Burns tried to take on the part-time spin of Kraigg Brathwaite and perished in the process. Smith joined Khawaja and together the duo kept the bowlers at bay. Until Taylor struck with the second new ball to send Khawaja packing for a superb 144. Voges and Smith saw off a successful day for the Aussies.
Day 1, Stumps: If it was the Voges-Marsh show at Hobart, then it was the Burns-Khawaja show at the MCG. After winning the toss and inserting Australia in, West Indies were put under pressure straightaway by David Warner, who got the home side off to a blazing start. However, he played one shot too many and perished for a quickfire 23. Then it was the Burns and Khawaja partnership which knocked the stuffing out of the West Indian attack. Burns started slowly but he never looked in trouble, while Khawaja needed some time to get his feet moving.

Hello again.. The final session is about to begin. The players are out in the centre. It will be Warrican to start the proceedings. There is a slight delay as the umpires check an area on the ground. It has been sorted out and we are set to roll...
Day 1, Tea: A session that belonged to Australia. The first half saw both batsmen get their eye in and once they were set, the pair started playing more freely. The partnership is already worth 164, and they are on course to bringing up their personal milestones. The West Indian bowling once again looked toothless. Holder held one end up, but lacked support from the rest of his mates. Join us back at 16:15 local to catch some more leather chasing...

Welcome back... The players are out in the middle. West Indies would ideally want to make early inroads after the break. Can their bowlers step up and deliver? It is an extended session. Taylor to start proceedings. Only two slips and a gully in place..
Day 1, Lunch: After a one hour rain delay, David Warner got Australia off to a flier. The opener looked in the mood as he carved the bowling apart in the first couple of overs. However, he played one shot too many and gave West Indies the only joy for the session. Joe Burns has looked solid and unperturbed at one end, while Usman Khawaja struggled at the start but has eased into the innings. West Indies pulled things back with some tight line and lengths, but they would have liked a couple more wickets. Join us at 13:40 local for the post-lunch session...

Welcome back.. It's not about runs for Australia. They already have 280 in the bank and it's just to give their bowlers some rest. How much time will Smith want to bat? Can West Indies keep them in longer and reduce their own survival time? Will the likes of Mitch Marsh and Peter Nevill get some batting time? We are ready for the final session of Day 3.
The news coming in is that Australia will bat once again.
Will Australia enforce the follow-on? The players will take tea now and that gives them 20 minutes to ponder over. Much better from West Indies today, Bravo was positive, Brathwaite made the most of his luck and the tail wagged as much as they could. Starting the day at 91/6, the visitors would have gladly taken 271 as their final score. Nathan Lyon continued to impress, James Pattinson bowled with plenty of pace throughout. Will they get a period of rest or will Australia bite the bullett and ask West Indies to bat once again? Join us in a while for the final session..

Welcome back... Roach is the new batsman and he is not one to throw it away. Can West Indies keep resisting? Or will Australia roll them over quickly? Answers coming up as the players get ready. Lyon to complete his over...
That will be lunch as well. The wicket at the end evens out the session. A wicketless session when West Indies are batting, that would have been a rarity. But we have to give it to Brathwaite and Bravo for battling it out. The former had all the luck in the world, bowled off a no-ball and caught off a no-ball - both times off Pattinson. In between those two dismissals, there were some sumptuous strokeplay. He got to his maiden fifty as well. But just when we thought West Indies would win a session, Brathwaite threw it away. Australia will look to wrap things up after the break. Will they enforce the follow-on? That remains to be seen. Join us back at 13:10 local for the second session...

Day 3: West Indies were 207/6 at the end of day 2 in Hobart after conceding over 550. Here at the MCG they have managed to outdo that effort. The batters simply couldn't shown any kind of application. The openers started well and resisted the Aussie bowlers for an hour, but once the first wicket fell, the procession started. Darren Bravo is fighting a lone battle at one end and how long can he keep going without any support? The writing is on the wall. It is just a matter of prolonging the inevitable. Don't go anywhere as live action will begin soon...
Blackwood threatened to launch a counter punch, he was reprieved once, after TV replays failed to conclusively prove that Burns had taken a clean catch at square leg. He celebrated it with a six off Lyon, but was dismissed in the same over. Ramdin and Holder came and went, Siddle found himself on a hat-trick, Carlos Brathwaite prevented it, but nearly ran himself out. Watching at the other end was the serene Darren Bravo - who refused to play a shot in anger. The visitors have limped to 91/6 at stumps and another early finish is on the cards, unless Bravo does something special. Australia will surely wrap up this innings tomorrow. Will they force West Indies to follow-on and look for another three day finish? It should be another absorbing day's cricket. Join us for all the action. For now, cheers and bye..
Nothing much has changed from Hobart to Melbourne. West Indies found themselves six down at stumps on day 2 there - after having conceded another 550+ score and on a flat batting track at the MCG, they have managed to do the same once again. Things looked promising at tea, but the floodgates opened in the second over after the break, Brathwaite popped a simple catch to Burns at FSL. Having got past 0, Chandrika couldn't better his previous best - OUT for 25 and wasting a review as well. That review could have come handy for Samuels, but he decided against it and walked off for a duck, after being pinned in front by the impressive Pattinson.

Burns is claiming a catch, the third umpire will have a look at it. The soft signal is NOT OUT. Fair delivery, can't say much from the back angle, the third umpire is looking in from as close an angle as possible. Did it go straight into Burns hand? Or did it bounce just in front of him? The third umpire isn't happy with what he's seen, advises the onfield umpires to stay with their original call. Blackwood gets lucky!
Peter Siddle [5.0-1-9-0] is back into the attack

Hello again... The West Indian openers have got off to a cautious start, but it has been only 14 overs. Can they keep up their concentration levels and continue in the same way? Answer coming up as the players make way for the final session. Sidde to resume proceedings. Two slips and a gully in place...
West Indies have survived the mini-session without any alarms. Hazlewood and Pattinson were disciplined, but got no help from the pitch. Lyon was introduced early and he's been impressive, procuring a bit of spin and hassling Chandrika on a couple of occasions. The visitors will be pleased that they haven't lost a wicket as yet, but there's a long way to go to avoid the follow-on, which will be their first target. Join us in a while for the final session.

The West Indian openers are making their way out to the centre. It's a beautiful day in Melbourne (all bright and sunny) and Josh Hazlewood has the new cherry in his hand. Three slips and a gully in place. Here we go then...
Australia have declared overnight! So, West Indies will be chasing 460 and the Aussie bowlers will have two full days to bowl them out.
Steven Smith, who finished unbeaten on 134 in the first innings, is currently batting on 70. It will be interesting to see whether Smith delays the declaration for his milestone or whether he decides to have a go at the West Indian batters first thing today morning. For now, we'll have to wait for his decision. Stay tuned.
Day 4: With a lead of 459 runs already, the Australians are currently in the driver's seat. Surely, a lead this big must be enough for the Aussie bowlers to take 10 wickets. But will Steven Smith declare overnight? We'll have to wait for a little while to find out. In order to give his bowlers some rest, Smith didn't enforce the follow-on yesterday after the West Indies got bowled out for 271. As expected, the home side came out to bat with an aggressive intent, garnering 179 runs in just 32 overs.
Fair to say that Australia have all but batted West Indies out of this match. A much better day for the visitors, but their spirits sagged after tea, allowing Khawaja and Smith to run away to fifties - with inventive batting and some listless bowling. Khawaja was dismissed attempting a cute lap sweep but Smith's still there - batting on an effortless run-a-ball 70. Taylor and Roach were disappointing once again, Holder and Brathwaite put plenty of effort, while Warrican reeled away at one end. Australia are 459 runs ahead at the end of day 3. Will they declare overnight and give their bowlers two full days to have a crack at the visiting batsmen or will Smith give himself a chance to score hundreds in both innings? We will find out first up tomorrow. Do join us for all the action. For now, cheers and bye..

That brings the curtains down on another Test this year. But the cricketing action keeps going, switch tabs to catch the South Africa-England game and there is the Big Bash as well. That's all from here. This is Akshay Maanay signing off on behalf of my co-commentator, Sidhant Maheshwari and our scorer, Mahesh. Till next time, take care and Cya!
Lyon: "I am trying to improve each day. Credit to the bowlers. That is one area I want to keep getting better (taking catches off his own bowling). I just saw the bail pop off and I was confident (referring to Carlos Brathwaite's wicket). It was a hard fought game and credit to West Indies for pushing us till the end."
Nathan Lyon is the Man of the Match for his match figures of 7/151.
Smith: "We made it a bit difficult for ourselves. We kept overstepping and had to take 23 wickets instead of 20. Mitchell Marsh was brilliant today. He charged in and got the ball reversing for us and reaped the rewards towards the end. He (Khawaja) is playing beautifully, isn't he? He is doing extremely well and hopefully he can continue doing that. He (Lyon) is bowling extremely well and hopefully he continue doing that for a long time. We want to wrap up the series 3-0, but the West Indies came hard at us here and we should be prepared at Sydney."
Holder: "We showed some fight. Some of the guys came out and played themselves in. Credit to the way Australia played. Hopefully the guys can continue in the same way in the last Test match. We had to keep wickets in hand and occupy the crease. Me and Ramdin were thinking about batting through the day and taking it from there. Carlos (Brathwaite) came in and played well, he had the energy and it was nice to see him go. We just need to keep that belief and keep pushing Australia."
Earlier in the match, Australia's top 5, barring David Warner, recorded tons as the hosts posted a mammoth 551 in the first innings. In reply, the West Indian batters once again failed to get going. Only Darren Bravo (81) and a few handy contributions lower down the order propelled Jason Holder's men to 271. Australia didn't enforce the follow-on to give their bowlers some rest. They came out to bat with an intent to be aggressive and scored 179/3 in 32 overs on day 3. Smith was unbeaten on 70, but he wanted to have a go at the West Indians right from the first ball on day 4 and hence, the hosts declared on their overnight score.
Just when the visitors were feeling a little relieved, Mitchell Marsh sent Ramdin on his way back. Carlos Brathwaite too didn't hang around for long either. Holder then tried to hold fort but Marsh struck once again with the second new ball. Play was extended by an extra half an hour to give Australia the chance of taking the final wicket and they didn't disappoint their fans, taking just two minutes of the extra half hour to take an unassailable 2-0 lead in the series. With this victory, they retain the Frank Worrell Trophy. Mitchell Marsh was the pick of the bowlers, reaping rewards for some excellent bowling as he finished with four wickets in the innings.
After Australia declared on their overnight score of 179/3, the West Indians came out with a positive intent. Kraigg Brathwaite looked good till the time he was there, scoring 31 before gifting his wicket to Lyon. Chandrika and Bravo added 48 runs for the second wicket, but both of them got out in quick succession. Samuels' poor form in the series continued and Blackwood too failed to make the most of the opportunity. However, Ramdin and Holder counter-attacked in style and got to their fifties, providing West Indies their first 100-run stand of the series.

Day 4, Tea: Australia march ahead and are 6 wickets away from wrapping up the series. The pair of Bravo and Chandrika who frustrated the hosts in the first session were sent back soon after lunch. Samuels and Blackwood kept the bowlers at bay for some time, but the former's horror series continued as he nicked one off Marsh. Ramdin has looked positive in his stay, but for how long? Will Australia finish the game today? Can West Indies push it to day 5? Join us back in a short while to find out....

Welcome back. The players are already out in the middle. Siddle will start the proceedings after lunch.
Chandrika may have only got 17 runs to his name right now, but he has looked solid. Bravo was also looking good, up until the time he edged one off Hazlewood. However, he has got another chance. The pitch hardly has anything in it for the seamers, but the hosts will be buoyed by the reverse swing they got towards the end of the session. The West Indies still trail by 396 runs. The Australians will surely come hard at them after lunch and it won't get any easier for the visitors. Join us for the post-lunch session in around 30 minutes.
The Aussies are a frustrated bunch as they make their way back to the dressing room. 64/1 for the West Indies doesn't look all that bad at the end of the first session on day 4. However, things could have been slightly different for the hosts. They will rue the fact that for the third time in this match they got a wicket, but the batsman was called back after the umpires checked for a no-ball. Hazlewood, the culprit on this occasion. The West Indians started brightly, with Kraigg Brathwaite coming out with a positive intent. He was looking in great touch before he perished to Lyon for 31.

This was angled across the left-hander, Bravo comes forward to drive, gets a big outside edge that flies to the left of Nevill, who dives across and takes a good low catch.

Umpire Erasmus had a word with Steven Smith during the overs. Maybe it had something to do with Pattinson, who wasn't happy and kept murmuring to the umpires about the review not being sent upstairs.

J Pattinson to Rajendra Chandrika, no run, a loud shout for lbw, the appeal has been turned down by umpire Erasmus.

On a good length and jags back in from outside off, Chandrika gets his front foot across as he looks to defend, misses and wears it on the pad, the impact though was outside off and that's why it would have stayed with the onfield call anyway
