The West Indies go to lunch on the first day of the opening Test against Australia at the Windsor Park Stadium on 85 for 3 with Marlon Samuels not out on 3, and Shane Dowrish at 15.
Winning the toss and electing to bat first, the West Indies opened with Shai Hope and Kraigg Braithwaite and looked pretty confident against the pace of Mitchell Starc and Mitchell Johnson.
But with the score on 23 and the introduction of Josh Hazlewood from the Billy Doctrove Pavillion, Braithwaite was caught behind by Brad Haddin for 10.
A lovely partnership was in the making between Darren Bravo, 19, and Hope, 36, but with the introduction of Nathan Lyon and after hitting some sumptuous drives, Bravo was brilliantly caught at slips by Clarke.
In the meantime, Hope was batting brilliantly, but with reintroduction of Johnson from the commentators booth end, he was well caught in the slips by Shaun Marsh.
This brought in Dowrish, the debutant, and immediately he started to play his strokes against Lyon striking him for two glorious fours through covers.
A wicket a piece for Lyon, Hazlewood and Johnson.
West Indies 85/3 at lunch on day one.
