Travis Head is leading another Australia attempt to be competitive against the West Indies in a first test in Barbados that may not go beyond three days.

West Indies head coach Daren Sammy asked whether there was “something against our team” after Australia benefited from two controversial decisions from the third umpire in their Test match.

Australia moved into a 171-run lead at lunch on the third day of the first Test at the Kensington Oval on Friday as dropped catches continued to plague the West Indies.
