At lunch on the fourth day of the third test, Australia left the West Indies with a mammoth 475 runs to win the test.

Resuming on 330 for three, Australia lost two early wickets, including centurion Simon Katich (157), to slow left-armer Sulieman Benn.

But vice-captain Michael Clarke (48 not out) and wicketkeeper Brad Haddin (45no) took over, adding an unbroken 79 for the fifth wicket as the tourists reached 439 for five at the interval.
