Although Chanderpaul compiled 79 not out Australia, who are 1-0 up in the three-match series, still took a first innings lead of 35 runs with left-arm pace bowler Mitchell Johnson capturing four for 41.
Left-hander Chanderpaul has scored two centuries against the Australians and only once in fiveinnings has he failed to make at least a half century. He has scored 392 runs so far in the series for an average of 196.
The Australians added just 25 runs to their overnight 226 for seven but Ricky Ponting's side soon bounced back with the ball. Brett Lee removed both openers, captain Chris Gayle (14) along with opener Sewnarine Chattergoon (6) and Ramnaresh Sarwan (20) was a victim of Stuart Clark before lunch, caught brilliantly by Mike Hussey at backward point.
After the interval, Xavier Marshall continued to a lively 39 before he went caught by debutant Beau Casson off Andrew Symonds, a soft dismissal for a batsman who had looked settled.
Chanderpaul and Bravo consolidated, putting on 60 for the fifth wicket before Bravo once again failed to build on a solid start. The Trinidad all-rounder had made 29 before he was caught behind, flicking a leg-side delivery from Johnson.
Then came the by now traditional lower order collapse. Denish Ramdin, Sulieman Benn, Jerome Taylor, Daren Powell, and Fidel Edwards all went without reaching double figures as the last five wickets fell for just 28 runs.
