Australia on top against Windies

Mitchell Johnson starred for Australia as the West Indies collapsed on day two of the third and final Test against Australia.

The paceman took four wickets in the final session as the hosts fell 35 runs short of their first-innings target of 251.

Only Shivnarine Chanderpaul offered any resistance with an unbeaten 79, but Johnson and Brett Lee ripped through the rest of the batting line-up to keep Australia's noses in front at the Kensington Oval as they closed on 35-0 for a lead of 70.

Phil Jaques and Simon Katich were unbeaten on 13 and 17 respectively as Australia look to claim a 2-0 series win.

Australia had also started the day at the crease hoping to significantly add to their overnight first-innings total of 226 for seven.

But their final three wickets added just a further 25 runs as they were bowled out in little over half an hour's play.
