Australia reached 132 for three at tea on the first day of the second Test against the West Indies at the Queen's Park Oval in Trinidad yesterday. Australia skipper Michael Clarke won the toss and decided to bat, and the openers David Warner and Ed Cowan started well, putting on0 53 for the first wicket at a fairly brisk pace.
But Kamer Roach's double strike after Shane Shillingford, who is making a comeback to the West Indies side, had Warner caught at slip for 29 pegged the vigitors back. Cowan followed his partner two overs before lunch for 28, trapped leg-before by fast bowler Kemar Roach while Rickey Ponting was out for 7. Shane Watson on 44 and skipper Michael Clarke on 21 were the unbeaten batsmen at tea.
