West Indies score 27 as Australia’s Mitchell Starc takes quickest five-wicket Test haul

Australia bowled out West Indies for just 27 – the second lowest score in Test history, and the worst since 1955 – to complete a 176-run win and series clean sweep in Jamaica.

The Windies total on the third day of the day-night Test in Jamaica was just one run more than New Zealand’s 26 all out against England in 1955. The previous lowest total by West Indies was the 47 they managed against England in 2004.

Australia pace bowler Mitchell Starc, playing in his 100th Test, took 6-9 in figures that included five wickets in 15 balls.

It is the fastest five-wicket haul in Test cricket while Starc’s team-mate Scott Boland weighed in with a hat-trick as Australia won the series 3-0.
