    What's the story

    Australian dasher Travis Head has completed 3,000 runs in Test cricket.

    The 30-year-old reached the milestone in the opening Test match against West Indies at the Adelaide Oval.

    Heading into this Test match, Head needed only 15 runs to touch the landmark.

    He ended up scoring a fine century, his seventh in Test matches.

    Here we decode his Test numbers.

    Knock 

    A stunning knock from Head 

    Responding to WI's first innings total of 188, Australia were 52/3 when Head arrived in the middle.

    He added 46 runs with Usman Khawaja (45), taking the Aussies near the 100-run mark.

    Head then paired up with the lower-order batters and put his side into the lead.

    He eventually fell prey to Alzarri Joseph after scoring a 134-ball 119 (12 fours, 3 maximums).

    His highest score in Test cricket of 175 came against West Indies in 2022 in Adelaide.

    Overall, he has completed 431 runs against them, averaging 143.66 (50s: 1).
