India vs West Indies, 2nd Test Day 3: West Indies 45/2 at stumps, India need 8 wickets to win

India, on the other hand, were getting the ball to swing but were quite wayward. Jadeja was probably the pick of the bowlers. Ishant and Shami were good in bits and pieces. They though are way ahead in the game and just need to be patient. Join us for the second session in a while.

Jason Holder will be happy with his batsmen in this session. It did not start in the best of manner for the Windies as Bravo went back retired hurt early on. Brooks and Chase though, then surged a decent stand and took the Windies above the 100-run mark. The hosts then lost Chase and Hetmyer in quick succession and it seemed the floodgates have been opened but Blackwood, the concussion substitute, along with Brooks, who was dismissed of a no ball, have done really well so far. Still there is a long way to go and they need to keep going.

R Jadeja to Blackwood, Almost! Blackwood negotiates the last ball before Lunch but by just. This is shorter and quicker and it comes in with the angle. Blackwood gets his bat down right at the end. It goes off the inside edge past the leg pole and down towards fine leg for one. THAT WILL BE LUNCH ON DAY 4!
