With Justin Graves the last Windies batter to depart, Hodge and Da Silvs have so far stitched together a 134-run partnership. Mitchell Starc has been the star of the day for the hosts, grabbing three wickets so far. Despite Australia looking confident at the start, it looks like Hodge and Da Silva are making the most of their time at the centre. WI trail the two-match Test series vs AUS 0-1 currently.
