And at last, Mitchell Marsh can come to the field. He's had to wait and wait as Voges and big brother Shaun racked up the runs. Eventually Shaun falls 18 short of a double century after sharing a record-breaking 449-run fourth wicket stand. Slog sweeps this Warrican delivery but hit it straight down the throat of deep mid-wicket. End of a fabulous innings. No sign of declaration as yet. Australia are going to bat just the once (I think). Might as well make it large.

Voges 36 away from a triple hundred!

Hello and Welcome to the second day's play between Australia and West Indies from the Bellerive Oval, Hobart. Australia have racked up 438 runs from the opening day's cricket. Not many people were surprised. The West Indies, for all their talk of competing, have won just a handful of Test matches in the last couple of years. Australia will look to bat until Lunch or just beyond before putting the Windies in. There are milestones in sight for Shaun Marsh and Voges. The duo have double centuries in sight. A host of partnership records are set to tumble as well. Brace yourselves.

West Indies have taken the second new ball. Hobart received some showers 45 minutes ago and with a little effort Holder and Taylor should trouble the batsmen. Unfortunately, Taylor starts off as he did yesterday - with a couple of gentle looseners on pad and Voges puts it away. The Caribbeans are sloppy on the field and gift five overthrows and just like that Voges finds himself in the 190s.

The 450 is up for Australia!
