Aussies back on top after Chanderpaul falls

Shivnarine Chanderpaul fell agonisingly short of a century before Australian spinner Nathan Lyon destroyed the West Indian lower order to hand the momentum back to the visitors on the third day of the second test on Tuesday. 

Chanderpaul was dismissed for 94 after surviving a dropped catch early in his innings when leading a West Indian fightback with a perfect blend of defence and controlled aggression. But his gritty performance counted for little at the end of the day after the fragile West Indian batting crumbled and the home side were reduced to 252 for nine at the close, still 59 behind Australias first innings of 311 in a low scoring match.
