Day 3 of the third Test match between Australia and West Indies in Jamaica will go down in the folklore of cricketing history as the visitors delivered one of the most staggering performances in the history of Test cricket against the hosts.

Tasked with defending 204 runs on a tricky wicket with the pink ball, Mitchell Starc and Scott Boland delivered historic performances to bowl out West Indies for just 27 runs, the second-lowest total ever recorded in the format.
Led by Starc, who produced the fastest five-wicket haul in Test history, and Boland, who claimed a dramatic hat-trick, the Australian attack delivered a ruthless 14.3-over demolition of the hosts.
It was a day of tumbling records, historical lows, and an all-time statement of dominance from Pat Cummins’ side.
The West Indies’ total of 27 is now the second-lowest in the 147-year history of Test cricket, surpassed only by New Zealand’s infamous 26 all out against England in 1955.
It is now the lowest ever Test score by the West Indies, eclipsing their previous worst of 47, back in 2004.
