West Indies, chasing an improbable 475 to win, were all out for 387 after a brave attempt at victory.

Milestone: Chanderpaul hits his 8,000th Test run

Australia scored 216 and 439 for five declared while the Windies made 216 in their first innings.

A world record victory target looked possible when Shivnarine Chanderpaul and Dwayne Bravo resumed the innings at 235 for three but after they hit half centuries, both were removed within three balls of each other in the morning session and the chase folded.

Chanderpaul became the fourth West Indian to pass 8,000 Test runs in the process after Brian Lara (11,953), Sir Vivian Richards (8,540) and Sir Garfield Sobers (8,032).

Australia's Simon Katich, with a career-best 157 in the second innings, was named man of the match.
