West Indies chasing 204 in Jamaica, Carey sidelined
Australia's bid to clean sweep the Frank Worrell Trophy is under threat, after the tourists set West Indies 204 to win the third Test in Jamaica.
Australia were bowled out for 121 early on day three, their lowest total against West Indies since Courtney Walsh and Curtly Ambrose were wreaking havoc in 1995.
It was Alzarri and Shamar Joseph who did the damage for West Indies this time, with the former claiming 5-27 after dominating under lights on day two.
It then took just eight overs for the West Indies' quicks to take the final four wickets on Monday afternoon (Tuesday AEST), with Shamar Joseph finishing with 4-34.
The timing of the batting demise could prove an issue for Australia, given they will have to bowl three hours in daylight before entering the dangerous night session.
Alex Carey will also be unable to keep wicket for Australia, diagnosed with a concussion after being struck in the head by Alzarri Joseph on day two.
Carey passed an on-field test on after the first-ball blow, but was dismissed two balls later when he charged the West Indies quick and edged him to slip.
Josh Inglis will now keep in Carey's place, following a subsequent concussion test. Carey was spotted at the ground in Jamaica on Monday.
After Australia's day started with that news, Cameron Green was bowled on the first ball of play when he left a Shamar Joseph delivery that seamed back in at him.
Green had appeared the only assured batter for Australia on Saturday, with his 42 at No. 3 following scores of 52 and 46 in his previous two innings.
Pat Cummins followed in the fourth over of the day, defending an Alzarri Joseph bouncer to Kevlon Anderson at short leg on five.
Scott Boland and Josh Hazlewood were then bowled by Shamar and Alzarri Joseph to finish the innings.
Australia have already wrapped up the Frank Worrell Trophy, but a 3-0 series victory would help set up their push to reclaim the World Test Championship in 2027.
