Australia vs West Indies first Test RECAP: Nathan Lyon the hero as Aussies rout Windies by 164 runs

Thanks for following our live coverage of this first Test of the Australian summer.

The Aussies score a dominant victory over the West Indies, and now they head to Adelaide to begin the next one on Thursday.

See you then!

Pat Cummins didn't bowl at all on day five after suffering a quad injury earlier in the match.

If he misses the Adelaide Test - beginning Thursday - it raises an awkward question.

Who captains the team?

And that's it!

Australia wins the Test by 164 runs as Nathan Lyon takes his sixth wicket of the innings.

A fantastic performance by Lyon on a deck where quicks normally do the damage.

Clinical from the Aussies with a session remaining in the Test.

And just like that, Roston Chase goes.

He holes out a Nathan Lyon delivery to mid-wicket and Mitchell Starc takes a great diving catch.

One more wicket to go.

Roston Chase reaches his half century in a mini fightback.

Mike Hussey wants Australia to put the foot on the throat and pull Travis Head out of the attack, despite him having two wickets.

"There's a chance here for Australia to be ruthless," Hussey said.

"I think from the other end fire up one of the quicks... and make it really uncomfrotable for (the batters)."

The Aussies have the eighth and once again it is part-time spinner Travis Head doing the damage.

Head clean bowls Alzarri Joseph through the gate.

Two more to go.

We are back from the long break and Australia needs only three wickets for victory.

Mitchell Starc immediately beats the bat of Alzarri Joseph first ball back from lunch.

Can the visitors hold on for at least one more session?

Josh Da Silva heads back to the pavilion after edging a Josh Hazlewood delivery to third slip.

Aussies need three more wickets for victory.

"They are taking complete and utter ownership of this Test match," Ian Smith says on Fox Cricket.

Jason Holder is out off some Travis Head spin, edging and being caught by a diving Steve Smith.

Smith's teammates suggested he put "mayonnaise" on the effort to make it look harder than it was.

"Mayo or not, it's a terrific catch," Kerry O'Keeffe says.

"Really well done by Smith."

Legendary slips fielder Mark Waugh says, "It's a good catch, even if he doesn't flick his legs up it's a very good catch".

A near miss for Jason Holder as the towering all-rounder gets his bat down just in time.

West Indies two down this session and clinging on for dear life.

Five to go for an Aussie victory.
