Australia vs West Indies: Konstas and Khawaja fall early as West Indies narrow lead in tense second Test
Australia slumped to 2-12 at stumps on day two of the second Test in Grenada, leading by just 45 after bowling the Windies out for 253.
Konstas was left shattered after he was out for a duck, playing onto his stumps from a Jayden Seales delivery.
The 19-year-old, in just his fourth Test, looked better in the first innings with 25, after scores of 3 and 5 during the opening match of the series in Barbados.
Australia were left reeling at 2-4 when Khawaja, 19 years Konstas's senior, was trapped lbw by Seales.
The veteran left-hander was again exposed by a right-arm quick coming around the wicket.
Nathan Lyon was sent out as nightwatchman, still with 18 minutes until stumps, but was able to navigate the tricky period with Cameron Green.
Replying to the Aussies' 286, West Indies limped to tea on day two on 7-185.
But some crucial lower-order runs from Shamar Joseph and Alzarri Joseph helped the hosts cut Australia's lead to just 33 when they were dismissed for 253.
Australia's legendary bowling attack shared the wickets around, with Lyon (3-75) leading the way.
Josh Hazlewood (2-43) and Pat Cummins (2-46) were typically dangerous, while Travis Head's part-time off-spin was successfully used to find the 10th wicket to wrap up the innings.
When opener Kraigg Brathwaite fell without scoring off the 11th ball of the day, caught and bowled by Hazlewood, it was just the tonic the tourists needed.
And when Keacy Carty was dismissed by Cummins for six in the ninth over, the Aussie attack looked in the mood to inflict serious damage.
It was, indeed, a magnificent moment for the Australian captain, the ball hanging in the air for a seeming eternity before it began to fall to where a bat-pad would have been.
Cummins made ground in his follow-through and timed his dive perfectly to complete the catch.
It got even better when John Campbell, the other opener, was sent back to the pavilion, caught by Mitchell Starc off Beau Webster after a brisk 40 that included five boundaries.
Left-hander Campbell tried to loft over the leg side but could only lob the ball high into the air and straight down the throat of Starc at mid-on.
The West Indies stood on a fragile-looking 3-64.
But then the home side steadied, losing no more wickets before reaching lunch on 3-110. Brandon King (39) and Roston Chase (16) steadied the West Indies with a 46-run fourth-wicket stand.
Just one more run had been added when Chase fell lbw to Hazlewood.
Cummins removed Shai Hope to leave West Indies on 5-169, and the home side were faltering again when King's defiance was ended four balls later, caught by wicketkeeper Alex Carey off Nathan Lyon and given after a review.
West Indies currently trail by 45 runs and are yet to bat in the second innings.

Tiny Queensland country town becomes mud-racing capital of Australia
Hidden behind the pub in this tiny Queensland town is one of Australia's finest car-racing tracks. But this track isn't for V8s, motorbikes or even go-karting. It is for mud racing. The small rural town of Kabra, on the outskirts of Rockhampton, has a population of just a few hundred people. Once a year the population doubles when Australia's premier mud-racing event comes to town. Think roaring engines, flying mud and edge-of-your-seat action as modified vehicles go head-to-head through boggy tracks in an all-out race against the clock. "If you can drive it on the trailer at the end of the meeting, you've had a win." The annual Queensland twin-track mud-racing titles attracts racers from all over Australia. Alongside 75-year-old competitor Roger Langley, drivers from the Northern Territory, South Australia, New South Wales and Queensland have made the pilgrimage to Kabra. Drivers as young as 10 go head-to-head in a series of runs through challenging conditions on the mud-filled track before a winner is declared. "I started racing in 1995, that's how long ago," Roger explains. It wasn't long before Roger started to carve his name in the sport. "My first car was an XD Falcon station wagon," he said. "We stripped that out, put a roll cage in it and re-built the car for mud racing. "It [mud racing] has just grown and grown over the years, mainly because of the juniors." In the junior category, keen mud racers between 10 and 16 years old hit the track in cars that have modifications like booster seats and pedal extensions. For the Langleys, the sport is a true family activity. At this year's event, Roger will be joined by his son Troy and 11-year-old granddaughter, Allira Weldon, to compete on their home track against the country's best racers. "My brothers and sisters also race and I just enjoy working on cars and building them tough, and obviously racing them, and hopefully [I] don't break it [the car]." Specialised vehicles, often with large tyres and powerful engines, are used to navigate the mud. These can range from modified trucks and ATVs to purpose-built buggies, with some of the top-class machines reaching speeds of up to 100 kilometres per hour. Troy said there was a lot of work involved in getting a car ready. "There's a fair bit to it because you are driving through quite deep water and mud sometimes, and a lot of electronics don't like getting wet," he said. "So you've got to waterproof everything pretty well and obviously jack the car up as high as the rules allow to get some ground clearance. Aside from the mechanics of the growing sport, Troy said there was one main objective. And according to race director Marlene Granshaw, there's also one prize every driver wants. "They're coming from all over the place, for not only the bragging rights, but that Queensland champion sticker to put on top of their car."

Woodchopping competitors in decline but generational sport will 'never die out'
Furlyn Barrett was five years old when he was given his first axe. "We chopped about every little branch and shrub and tree around in the yard," he said. Barrett comes from a long line of axemen — his dad, uncles, and 22 cousins have all been part of the competitive sport. He's also continuing the legacy in his own family, with all four of his children travelling the country competing in woodchopping events at agricultural shows. His daughter Takiah, 24, has represented the Australian women's team and recently won the women's underhand world title championship in Sydney. His son Awatea, 20, last year won the national timbersports rookie championship in Melbourne. Now a veteran of the sport, Barrett, who is based in the tropical Queensland city of Mackay, said he was trying to keep agricultural shows running by sourcing wood for competitions, like those at this weekend's Townsville show. Standing blocks, underhand, tree-felling, and open-sawing events all make up the show's woodchopping schedule, with about 20 axe competitors vying for glory. "Queensland has some very hard wood, so you don't want to be chopping those," Barrett said. "We source woods that are not protected, that have no monetary value at all." Takiah said she wouldn't change anything about her family being involved in woodchopping. "We give each other a bit of competition as well and courage to get through the log," she said. Woodchopping is one of Australia's oldest sports and is a staple of rural shows around the country. Queensland Axemen's Association judge Sue Campbell said while spectator numbers never waned, the number of competitors was decreasing. Ms Campbell said the cost of living could be contributing to a lull in numbers. "It's a very expensive sport," she said. "The axe is worth about $1,000, if not more. "Some of [the competitors] would have 70 of them, 80 of them." Ms Campbell said travel could also be an issue, with competitors required to frequently move to different woodchopping circuits. But she said woodchopping would never truly die out, as competitors often came from families that had been involved in the sport for generations. "We only have one [competitor] that I've known of in the past 10 or 15 years that has come into the sport and had no connection to woodchopping at all," she said. "It's always grandads, or 'My uncle did it'. "Give us another five or six years and we'll have a big influx again of the next generation coming through." Ms Campbell said back injuries were common, alongside the occasional cut. "Some of those logs of hardwood will cut through in 23 seconds, and they're really powering through it," she said. Ms Campbell said some agricultural shows set up woodchopping schools before competitions started to encourage more people to enter the sport. "We're proud of our circuit up here and we're proud of our chopping up here," she said. "It's a fantastic sport and a fantastic community."
