Australia takes control as West Indies dismissed for 190 in first Test

Australia’s bowlers fought back after a tough morning session to dismiss West Indies for 190 and take control in the first Test at Bridgetown. Despite the hosts gaining a slim lead, controversial dismissals of key players Roston Chase and Shai Hope favored Australia.

Chase and Hope posed a challenge for the visitors with a 67-run partnership, but both fell victim to contentious decisions. Chase was given out lbw despite his belief of an inside edge, while Hope's catch by Alex Carey raised doubts about a possible ground touch.

With their main batsmen out, West Indies struggled to build a lead. Alzarri Joseph's quick 23 not out helped them edge ahead, but Australia dominated the second session, taking five wickets for just 55 runs. Beau Webster impressed with 2-20 in six overs, supported by Starc, Hazlewood, Cummins, and Lyon.
