By IANS News December 04, 2022 • 15:59 PM View: 772

Off-spinner Nathan Lyon took six wickets to lead Australia, minus a bowler in Pat Cummins, to a hard-fought 164-run victory over a gritty West Indies on day five of the first Test at Optus Stadium on Sunday.

Cummins took to the field on day five but did not bowl after experiencing mild quadricep soreness on day four. But Lyon starred for Australia, picking 6/128 off 42.5 overs. He claimed the last two West Indies wickets off successive balls at the fag end of the second session for Australia to take a 1-0 lead in the two-match series.
