23.6
Bshoo to Voges, dragged short, Voges goes for a pull after rocking back and hits it in the left of Taylor at backward square leg.

Half chance goes begging.

A better diving effort would have sent back Voges
 

Smith preached patience as key to last summer's remarkable run. He's 17 from 65 balls, no boundaries today.

Australia kicked off the Test series in the Caribbean with a bang as their frontline bowlers took just two sessions to dismiss the West Indies for 148.

Denesh Ramdin won the toss and sent his side in to bat, but it didn't take long for the wickets to start tumbling.

Josh Hazlewood and Mitchell Johnson each collected three wickets, with Mitchell Starc and Nathan Lyon combining for three more.

The Windies weren't especially impressive prior to lunch, but with only three down they still stood a chance of posting a decent total. Kraigg Brathwaite, Shai Hope and Darren Bravo all made starts, but weren't able to carry it on.

Things quickly went from bad to worse after the break, however, with Shane Dowrich, Jermaine Blackwood and Marlon Samuels all falling within a four-over period.

From that point on it was a desparate fight for survival, with the Windies losing the fight

Current partnership :  24 runs, 6.4 overs, RR: 3.60  (Voges 20, Smith 4)

Shane Watson: The pitch is little bit dry and two paced. Playing shots will be difficult.

We had a good first day and we made it difficult for West Indies.

It is pretty challenging and I am comfortable to bat anywhere throughout the order.

need some wickets

Steady start from the bowlers this morning. Only 5 runs scored so far. AUS 90-3 Voges 22, Smith 19
