West Indies chasing 204 in Jamaica, Carey sidelined
Australia's bid to clean sweep the Frank Worrell Trophy is under threat, after the tourists set West Indies 204 to win the third Test in Jamaica. Australia were bowled out for 121 early on day three, their lowest total against West Indies since Courtney Walsh and Curtly Ambrose were wreaking havoc in 1995. It was Alzarri and Shamar Joseph who did the damage for West Indies this time, with the former claiming 5-27 after dominating under lights on day two. It then took just eight overs for the West Indies' quicks to take the final four wickets on Monday afternoon (Tuesday AEST), with Shamar Joseph finishing with 4-34. The timing of the batting demise could prove an issue for Australia, given they will have to bowl three hours in daylight before entering the dangerous night session. Alex Carey will also be unable to keep wicket for Australia, diagnosed with a concussion after being struck in the head by Alzarri Joseph on day two. Carey passed an on-field test on after the first-ball blow, but was dismissed two balls later when he charged the West Indies quick and edged him to slip. Josh Inglis will now keep in Carey's place, following a subsequent concussion test. Carey was spotted at the ground in Jamaica on Monday. After Australia's day started with that news, Cameron Green was bowled on the first ball of play when he left a Shamar Joseph delivery that seamed back in at him. Green had appeared the only assured batter for Australia on Saturday, with his 42 at No. 3 following scores of 52 and 46 in his previous two innings. Pat Cummins followed in the fourth over of the day, defending an Alzarri Joseph bouncer to Kevlon Anderson at short leg on five. Scott Boland and Josh Hazlewood were then bowled by Shamar and Alzarri Joseph to finish the innings. Australia have already wrapped up the Frank Worrell Trophy, but a 3-0 series victory would help set up their push to reclaim the World Test Championship in 2027.

AFL fan's dream house with Waverley Park grandstand views for sale
An AFL fan's dream house with views across the iconic Waverley Park grandstand is poised to score a $1m-$1.1m sale. BigginScott's Ming Xu and Jing Chen star in a Hawks-themed online listing video showcasing the four-bedroom home at 60 Waverley Park Drive, Mulgrave. The property also has views of an oval at the Waverley Park complex that served as Hawthorn's base from 2006 until recently. Ahead of the Hawks' move to a new base in Dingley, the club sold Waverley Park back to the AFL in a deal believed to be worth about $20m, in June. To celebrate the residence's connection to the sporting complex, Mr Xu dons a Hawthorn uniform, runs around the oval and tosses a footy to Ms Chen who is standing on one of the abode's two balconies, in the listing clip. 'I think there are only a few properties around Waverley Park with three levels and oval views,' Mr Xu said. 'Every time Hawthorn do training there are a lot of Hawks fans standing there watching, by owning this property you can sit and watch from your balcony while having coffee.' The clip is not Mr Xu's first foray into creative marketing. In February, he had the listing for a house owned by an assistant director's family who know Hollywood actor Liam Neeson. They recruited the Taken star to voiceover their listing video as a humorous tribute to the hit franchise. And earlier this month, Mr Xu and colleague Eric Liu donned matador and bull costumes to film a clip for a house that has a Spanish Mission-style facade. As a keen Hawthorn supporter, Mr Xu already owned the outfit he needed for the latest video. The Mulgrave house would suit a variety of buyers, he added. 'I think it would be great for a family with one or two kids as there's four bedrooms and multiple living areas, or a couple who enjoy having a healthy and active lifestyle as locals can use the oval when footballers are not training,' he said, The main kitchen is fitted with stone-topped benches, a 900mm Smeg oven and gas stove, Haier dishwasher and an island breakfast bench. Sliding doors open onto a balcony, while an indoor entertainers' area includes a second kitchen with a Goldline gas stove and gas log fire. Upstairs, is a lounge room, study nook and two bedrooms with balcony access, including the main bedroom with a walk-in wardrobe and dual vanity ensuite. Head to the lower level for a terrace and garden with oval views, bathroom and laundry with a walk-in linen press and chute. Other highlights include a powder room, ducted heating and airconditioning and a double garage with internal access. The house will be auctioned at midday on August 2.

Test cricket LIVE: Australia chase series clean sweep in West Indies
Latest posts Latest posts 4.35am Wicket: First ball, Green in castled Bang. First ball of the day, Cameron Green leaves Shamar Joseph's first offering and it cannons into his off stump. Look lively people, the cricket is well and truly on. 4.33am How day two played out Kingston: A week ago, Australian coach Andrew McDonald leapt to the defence of four-Test rookie Sam Konstas following returns of 3, 5, 25 and 0 in the first two matches against the West Indies. 'Four games, eight innings - it's probably early for anyone to judge really,' McDonald told reporters, while acknowledging the performances hadn't been spectacular. McDonald and fellow selectors will now have 10 Konstas innings – or 'data points', as they like to call them – to assess ahead of Australia's next Test assignment. The only problem is that it's the biggest of the lot: an Ashes series on home soil. How many do they need? Is 10 enough? Or 20? The scores do not make for pretty reading, and selectors are the ones accountable – albeit on challenging pitches in the Caribbean. They knew picking Konstas, with such little first-class experience, was a gamble. They'd argue it has been an investment. For the second summer in a row, Australia does not have a settled opening batting combination. 4.28am How does today pan out? 4.26am Hello and welcome By Tom Decent G'day cricket fans. Welcome to our live blog of today's action between Australia and the West Indies in Kingston. It's Tom Decent at Sabina Park in the blogging chair. Another warm day. Some talk of showers but I'll believe that when I see it.
