Resuming from 267/2 overnight, West Indies went on to score 575/9 by the time the stumps were drawn on the second day to ensure that India will now be looking to save the game than win it. 

Darren Bravo got his second century in as many Test matches, scoring a 166 as West Indies had all their top six batsmen getting to at least 50. This had happened only four times earlier and seemed to have done more than enough to push India’s chances of a whitewash out of the window.

Kirk Edwards was involved in a third wicket stand with Bravo that effectively punctured the Indian hopes in the morning. The pair added 164. However, the Indian agony did not end even after Ishant Sharma had induced an edge off Edwards’ bat to the wicket-keeper as Kieran Powell smashed a 149-ball 81 to carry the team to a 494/4 at tea.

There was a mini-collapse in the third session that prevented the West Indies side from getting very quickly to 600 and declaring. However, despite Varun Aaron’s three-wicket haul in the third session of the day, West Indies managed to pile on a near-unassailable total. Ashwin picked up four wickets. 

The only matter of surprise was that West Indies did not think of declaration in the last 30-45 minutes of the day’s play to try and eke out a wicket or two.
