West Indies fought back on Sunday to reduce Australia to 99 for six in their second innings, a lead of 181, as the pink-ball Test at Sabina Park remained on a knife-edge at the close on day two. Australia extended their first-innings lead of 82 but were kept in check by the West Indies bowlers as the pink ball proved almost unplayable under floodlights in the final session for the second day in a row. 

Alzarri Joseph snared three wickets and Shamar Joseph two to keep their team in the game after their batters earlier collapsed to 143 all out in an eventful middle session. Shamar Joseph took his series haul to 20 victims with only Australia`s Cameron Green preventing a complete capitulation by compiling an unbeaten 42. 

He will resume on the third day in the company of captain Pat Cummins, who is five not out. Shamar Joseph removed both openers -- Sam Konstas for a duck and Usman Khawaja for 14 -- to raise the West Indies` hopes. Then Alzarri Joseph ripped the heart out of the middle order, taking the prize wicket of Steve Smith (5) and also bagging Beau Webster (13) and Alex Carey (0).
