West Indies find themselves on top in the first Test against Australia at stumps on Day 2. The Test has moved at a rate of knots, and as things stand, Australia are 92-4 in the second innings, leading by a mere 82. The visitors were bowled out for 180 in the first innings, but they made a good recovery and knocked out West Indies for 190 in reply.

Apart from the fascinating cricket, a few bizarre umpiring decisions have also grabbed headlines, with third umpire Adrian Holdstock drawing flak for controversial decisions. The first questionable decision came on Day 1 when Travis Head was given not out despite the replays clearly showing that the ball had carried in the keeper's gloves. Shamar Joseph got Head caught behind, but the third umpire felt there was no conclusive evidence to decide if the catch was clean, leaving West Indies bemused.

Australia were on the receiving end of the umpiring decision when Roston Chase was given not out in the first over of Day 2. Chase flicked a delivery by Josh Hazlewood, but the Australians felt the ball hit the pad first. The Pat Cummins-led side was delighted after there was a clear spike before the ball hit the bat, but the third umpire ruled it not out.

Australia were 57-4 at the time of the decision, and a wicket there could have been disastrous for the Windies. Chase made some use of the lifeline and scored 44 before another shocker cut short his innings. In the 50th over by Pat Cummins, Chase was given out LBW, but the batter felt that he hit the ball and decided to review. There was no conclusive spike that the ball had hit the bat, but little deviation was seen with the naked eye when the ball passed the bat. Holdstock, however, felt otherwise and ruled the decision in favour of Pat Cummins.

"I disagree with the decision, I disagree with the technology, I thought he hit that but somehow, it's worked against Roston Chase," Ian Bishop, who was on air, said.

"I feel sorry for the officiating team there, in my view that should clearly have been not out. I apologise to the officials, but I'm in total disagreement, as he [Chase] is in bewilderment. You see a deflection, a change of direction of the ball as it approaches the bat.

"If you've watched the game for long enough, you can see it. If you're new to the game, maybe you don't notice it."

The drama didn't stop as Shai Hope was given out caught behind by Alex Carey despite the replays suggesting that the ball may have touched the ground while taking the catch.

Meanwhile, Travis Head and Beau Webster are at the crease for Australia, and the visitors will be eyeing a decent partnership on Day 3 to take them to a position of safety.
