West Indies show fight as five-star Lee haul hands Australia advantage

A five-wicket haul from Brett Lee saw the hosts dismissed for 352 on day four in their first innings - a deficit of 127 - despite a century from Shivnarine Chanderpaul.

Australia then made a confident start second time round, at one stage seemingly cruising at 162 for two.

But the Windies attack enjoyed a profitable spell in the evening session to leave their opponents on 244 for six at stumps and a lead of 371.

West Indies' overnight pair Chanderpaul (107no) and Dwayne Bravo looked untroubled for most of the morning session to extend their fifth-wicket stand to 132, before the latter became the first of Lee's victims - caught behind down the leg-side, although replays suggested the ball had deflected off his thigh pad.

Lee struck again with his next delivery when late swing with the old ball trapped Denesh Ramdin lbw on the crease - although again the decision looked dubious with the ball hitting the wicketkeeper outside the line of off stump.

In the next over, Chanderpaul brought up his 19th Test century.

But Lee set about finishing off the tail, before Mitchell Johnson completed the job when Fidel Edwards was last out.

Mike Hussey opened for Australia in place of Simon Katich, still recovering from a blow he took in the first innings.

Hussey put on 74 with Phil Jaques, before edging behind off Bravo.

In the evening session, Jaques and Ricky Ponting continued to frustrate their hosts until the left-hander edged Jerome Taylor to the wicketkeeper.

Ponting followed two overs later, lbw by Taylor - and the Windies then had Michael Clarke run out via a direct hit from Chanderpaul.

Edwards then snapped up two more late wickets, but Andrew Symonds remained unbeaten on 43 at stumps.
