Hazlewood 5-for leads Australia to three-day win over West Indies in Barbados test
BRIDGETOWN, Barbados (AP) — Australia blew away the West Indies for 141 and won the first test by 159 runs at Kensington Oval on day three Friday.
The West Indies was set a stressful 301 target to win on a tricky pitch and folded in 33.4 overs.

The chief destroyer was seamer Josh Hazlewood with 5-43 from 12 overs.
The West Indies collapsed to 86-8 inside 27 overs but the Australians didn't mop up the last resistance until the day's last over in an extra 75 minutes of an extended late session.
Allrounder Justin Greaves, 38 not out, and No. 10 batter Shamar Joseph, a career-best 44 with four sixes, both went for broke in a team-best ninth-wicket stand of 55.
Australia started the day in some bother at 92-4 in its second innings, but half-centuries from Travis Head, Beau Webster and Alex Carey hoisted them to an impressive 310 all out and a 300-run lead.

Dolphins player makes immediate switch to Roosters to make room for Cobbo
The Sydney Roosters have signed Dolphins winger Junior Tupou with immediate effect, paving the way for the Dolphins to potentially land Selwyn Cobbo before June 30. Tupou was initially named on the wing for the Dolphins' clash with South Sydney on Saturday night, but he was replaced by Max Feagai in the 24-hour update on Friday. The reason for Tupou's withdrawal has since been revealed, with the winger making an immediate transfer to the Roosters. The Dolphins' decision to part ways with Tupou is believed to be a move designed around freeing up salary cap space in case the Broncos decide to release Cobbo early. The Dolphins announced on Thursday they'd signed Cobbo for 2026, but the Queensland club remain hopeful of bringing him on board this season. Under NRL rules, player transfers are only allowed before June 30, meaning the Dolphins are cutting it fine. The Broncos are playing hard ball with Cobbo and refusing to let him leave early, with coach Michael Maguire believing he still has a key role to play in 2025 despite dumping him to reserve grade. Speaking on SEN radio on Thursday, former Broncos player Denan Kemp revealed he'd been informed there's only one club Brisbane wouldn't allow Cobbo to join this season - and it's the Dolphins. The Broncos and Dolphins are arch-rivals and both based in Brisbane, making it unlikely Maguire's side would be willing to help out their cross-town counterparts. "I got it on good authority that there was only one club the Broncos said 'you're not allowed to go to early'. And it was the Dolphins," Kemp reported. "They literally said there was only one club." RELATED: Reece Walsh in State of Origin twist after Kalyn Ponga blow Ricky Stuart reveals stunning news about NRL star and wife Matty Johns said he wouldn't be letting Cobbo walk early either. "It's good to see that rivalry," Johns said. "If I'm Madge (Michael Maguire), I wouldn't let Selwyn go early either. At the end of the day, they've got Reece (Walsh) on one need to have depth in your squad. You can't just let quality players walk out the door." Tupou's move to the Roosters is a curious one considering a wing spot just opened up at the Dolphins with Jack Bostock suffering a season-ending ACL injury. Tupou has played 37 NRL games across stints with the Wests Tigers and Dolphins, and will take the roster spot vacated by Dom Young's move from the Roosters to Newcastle. But even with Young's departure, Tupou will still struggle to crack the Roosters' first-grade team. Mark Nawaqanitawase and Daniel Tupou have cemented themselves as the wingers, with Billy Smith and Robert Toia in the centres. Tupou might be used in Round 18 when the Roosters take on the Tigers, with Toia set to be in State of Origin camp with Queensland.
