Australia took just three and a half overs to complete a 35-run win over West Indies in the third Test in Perth and take the series by a 2-0 margin.

The tourists began the final day on 308-9 with hopes pinned on last-wicket pair Kemar Roach and Gavin Tonge, who needed to score 51 runs for victory.

They added 15 but Roach was then given out caught behind off Doug Bollinger.

He asked for the decision to reviewed by the TV umpire but replays were inconclusive and the decision stood.
