 Australia beat the West Indies by 35 runs in the third Test of the series at Perth to clinch the series 2-0, Geo news reported in WACA.

Doug Bollinger accounted for the last wicket in Kemar Roach to pack up the Windies for 323 and wrap up Aussies series win.

Earlier, The West Indies held on to take the third Test in Perth through to a fifth day of play against Australia.

By the close of the fourth day's play, Australia came within one wicket of bowling out the tourists in their second innings at the WACA.

After 16 wickets fell on the third day, signs were good Australia would steamroll the tourists on a deteriorating pitch once they bowled for a second time, regardless of what touring skipper Chris Gayle could conjure.

But despite Gayle falling cheaply in the West Indies' second innings, half centuries to Narsingh Deonarine (82) and Brendan Nash (66), along with some stubborn performances by the West Indies tail, kept Australia at bay, the tourists finishing the day on 308 for nine.
