Nathan Lyon has become the most successful bowler in Adelaide Test history and that mark is likely to grow over the coming days.

The way Labuschagne and Head brought up their 150s highlighted the way they approach the game. After hours and hours of watching Labuschagne and Head do as they liked, suddenly batting wasn’t so easy. His batting partner Cameron Green had been struggling to settle in when he glanced a ball fine and pushed for two. This was not in the script. They had a double century for the taking, but neither could grasp it, unlike Labuschagne during the first Test in Perth. This was not a normal part of a lopsided tour.

It was therefore difficult to discern if the mix-up and subsequent bust-up had an impact on his batting, so rusty had it appeared, and it was scarcely a surprise when he was bowled off the bottom edge of his bat to a ball he tried to let pass having reached nine. The 23-year-old all-rounder, who was not required to bat in either innings of the first NRMA Insurance Test in Perth, would have been dismissed from the first ball he faced from Holder had substitute fielder Kyle Mayers not been standing unfathomably deep at first slip. After Green nudged a ball from spinner Roston Chase to short fine leg and turned instinctively for a second run, he seemed to momentarily lose sight of the ball as Thomas slid to gather it and fling a return to da Silva. Head had reached his 150 shortly before Labuschagne achieved the milestone, and was struggling to find the same strokeplaying freedom he exhibited last night when he was dismissed in what had loomed as the only feasible way the West Indies might claim his wicket. It was shortly after Labuschagne reached his fifth score of 150 in his 30th Test that his desire to push the score along cost him his wicket, in similar circumstances to how his innings ended on 204 in last week's Perth Test. Australia's tactical declaration had come – as largely expected – half an hour before the end of the second session, at which time the lights were glaring and the magic of the magenta ball was sure to be revealed.
