Adam Voges and Shaun Marsh shared a Test record fourth-wicket stand of 449 as Australia declared on 583-4 on day two of the first Test with West Indies.

But Voges' 269 not out and Marsh's 182 fell two runs short of Donald Bradman and Bill Ponsford's all-time record partnership for Australia, set in 1934.

Nathan Lyon took three wickets to reduce West Indies to 116-6 in Hobart.

However, Darren Bravo (94 not out) and Kemar Roach (31 not out) guided the tourists to 207-6, trailing by 376.

The records to fall

• Voges and Marsh's stand of 449 is the highest for the fourth wicket in Tests, eclipsing the 437 put on by Mahela Jayawardene and Thilan Samaraweera for Sri Lanka against Pakistan in 2009
• Their partnership is the highest in Tests in Australia
• It is the highest for any country against West Indies
• It is the sixth highest in Test history; that record is held by Sri Lanka's Jayawardene and Kumar Sangakkara, who put on 624 for the third wicket against South Africa in Colombo in 2006
• Voges' 269 not out is the highest Test score at Bellerive Oval, surpassing former Australia captain Ricky Ponting's 209 against Pakistan in 2010
• Voges' Test batting average now stands at 76.83, second only to Sir Donald Bradman on Australia's all-time list (minimum of 10 innings)

How Australia dominated

The day belonged to Voges and Marsh, who added 132 in an untroubled first session after Australia resumed on 438-3.

Voges, 36 and playing only his 11th Test, made his maiden Test double hundred from 285 balls, which included 33 fours.

Marsh also looked to be heading for a double century but an attempted slog sweep off left-arm spinner Jomel Warrican, who finished with figures of 3-158, saw him caught by Bravo.

Australia declared during lunch and reduced the visitors to 81-4 at tea.

Josh Hazlewood trapped Kraigg Braithwaite lbw for two before Lyon claimed the wickets of Rajindra Chandrika, Marlon Samuels and Jermaine Blackwood.

Captain Steve Smith took a juggling catch at slip to dismiss Chandrika for 29, before Lyon held a brilliant return catch high to his left to remove Samuels and then had Blackwood caught at short leg by Joe Burns for a duck.

Denesh Ramdin was bowled by a Hazlewood delivery that kept low and Jason Holder was lbw to Peter Siddle - a decision that would have been overturned on height if West Indies had chosen to review the umpire's call.

Persistent showers had the players on and off the pitch during the afternoon but Bravo maintained his focus to steady West Indies' reply, although they still require 177 to avoid the follow-on.
