ADELAIDE: Australia declared their first innings at a commanding 511-7 on Friday in the day-night second-day Test against the West Indies after Marnus Labuschagne and Travis Head both made big scores.

The home side had resumed on day two at the Adelaide Oval on 330-3, and skipper Steve Smith -- standing in for the injured Pat Cummins -- made the declaration call some 30 minutes before tea.

Alex Carey was unbeaten on 41 and Mitchell Starc was not out on five.

Head made 175 while Labuschagne hit 163.
