The series was squared at 1-1. In the third Test, Australia did raise the bars high by posing a glamorous total of 490 runs on the board. In reply, the West Indian army, led by Brian Charles Lara did fairly good job. They were still restricted to a total of 146 runs. West Indies were given a target of 308 runs to chase in the fourth innings. Despite getting a decent start, they kept on losing wickets. Losing 5 wickets for a total of 105 runs, they were on the edge of giving away the game. But it was the West Indian skipper who stood out to be the anchor of the Test, with his sensational unbeaten knock of 153 runs. West Indies crossed the victory line and won the match by a single wicket.
