Smith guides Oz to commanding lead in second Test against WI
Gulf Today
|July 07, 2025
Steve Smith and Cameron Green half-centuries pushed Australia into the ascendancy with a lead of 254 runs at stumps on the third day of the second Test against the West Indies at the National Cricket Stadium in Grenada on Saturday.
-
Holding a 1-O lead in the three-match series following a 159-run victory in the first Test in Barbados, the tourists have three wickets in hand as they sit on 221-7 going into the fourth day of what has so far been a low-scoring duel.
Smith's innings of 71, his 43rd Test half-century, reflected his awareness of the state of the match as the day progressed.
Cautious at first when he came to the crease with his side again in early trouble at 28 for three in the first session, Smith unfurled more of the trademark shots from his considerable repertoire in productive partnerships with Green and then the always aggressive Travis Head.
