Live Cricket Score of Australia vs West Indies, 2nd Test, Day 1 at Melbourne

Australia have the chance to cap off a brilliant 2015 with a an unassailable series lead against West Indies in the Boxing Day Test when the two teams lock horns at the Melbourne Cricket Ground on Saturday (December 26).

Barring the Ashes series played in England where they lost 3-2, Australia have whitewashed West Indies in the Caribbean and then won the three-Test series against New Zealand 2-0 at home comfortably. Come the second Test, a series win will be on their minds after a thrashing of an innings and 212 runs in the first Test at Hobart that marked more glaringly the low ebb that West Indies cricket is at.

Who will gain the upper hand early in the Test? And with it raining in Melbourne, a good start is always handy. Much will depend on the toss which will take place in half an hour's time. Fingers crossed we don't have a delayed start; as of now there's no change in the start time.

Stay tuned!
