Thanks for joining us today everyone.
That’s all we have for you but we will be back tomorrow afternoon with a live blog to cover day two of this test match.
Before we go, here are a couple of major cricket stories:

This Test is already shaping as another smash-up.
Australia’s batters continued their domination of the West Indies’ undermanned attack, who proved no match for Marnus Labuschagne and Travis Head.
The pair piled on the pain, raising their centuries in the final session on another sorry day for the Windies.
Labuschagne now has three tons from as many innings, while Head went erased the pain of his 99 in the first Test with a ton in front of his adoring home fans.
At 3-330, Australia are poised for a total well in excess of 500 tomorrow.
Their goal will likely be to bat into the final session of the second day so they can take the new pink ball under lights, which is the most treacherous time to bat in day-night Tests.
If you want an idea of how the West Indies ran out of ideas, consider this.
Kraigg Brathwaite turned to his and Roston Chase’s part-time off-spin - if you could call it that - in the eighth and ninth overs of the second new pink ball under lights.
It also highlights how undermanned the West Indies pace attack is, and their poor planning in not picking a frontline spinner on tour.
Marnus Labuschagne (120 off 233 balls) and Travis Head (113 off 143) have taken Australia to a commanding 3-329 at stumps on day one of the second Test.
The two century makers were unstoppable in the final session, especially Head who was well behind Labuschagne entering the last session but plundered the tiring Indies to reach his century on his home ground.
The two batters patted each other on the back and headed in for a rest. They have more work to do tomorrow.
After coming agonisingly close to a ton with a 99 in the first Test, Travis Head has gone one better in front of his home crowd.
The South Australian has played with the same verve and panache he displayed during his player of the series performance in last summer’s Ashes.
Arriving at the crease with Australia a touch shaky after two quick wickets, Head quickly changed the game with his dashing strokeplay.
There were question marks over Head’s place in the Test side 12 months ago but he has dispelled them emphatically.
His next challenge is improving his game overseas, where he averages 23.
Australia are 3-315.
Travis Head has brought up his century, his first on his home ground of Adelaide Oval.
Head moved to 95 with a brilliant cover drive for four and then got a single.
Next over he crunched a straight drive for four to bring up his century.
He has acknowledged the whole ground and looks very, very happy with himself.
Australia are 3-311.
Head is up to 91 not out as the second new ball has slowed down the run rate slightly.
Nice one-handed stop from sub-fielder Omar Phillips from Strathmore Cricket Club in Melbourne.
Australia are 3-298.
The West Indies have taken the second new ball after 80 overs and this will test out Labuschagne and Head.
Joseph will take the new ball first.
Head is on 83 not out.
Australia are 3-288.
Labuschagne took his time to get to his hundred but Travis Head looks determined to give three figures a shake tonight before the second new ball is due.
He has hit back-to-back boundaries and is up to 78 from 101 balls.
22 runs to go and about 18 minutes of play remaining.
Head has also reached his highest test score in Adelaide.
Australia are 3-277.
