Live Scorecard:

Darren Sammy and Fidel Edwards are fighting it out for West Indies. While the captain has already smashed three sixes, Edwards has helped himself to three boundaries. 

The two put on 42 for the ninth wicket before Yadav rattles Sammy's (32) stumps.

West Indies need only 15 runs to avoid an innings defeat and make India bat again. The problem is they have just one wicket left to do that. 

And Yadav cleans up Devendra Bishoo (0) first ball to ensure the visitors are inflicted an innings defeat despite all the efforts. 

West Indies bowled out for 463 in their second essay as India win by an innings and 15 runs.

The result means India pocket the three-Test series with a match to spare.

Live Scorecard:

Ojha has struck a second time in partnership with Dravid. The left-arm spinner induces an outside edge off Carlton Baugh's (3) blade and Dravid takes a spectacular catch at first slip. 

It is Ojha's second wicket of the innings, sixth of the match and 13th of the series. 

Ashwin follows it up having Samuels (84) out leg before

West Indies in trouble now, at 417 for seven, needing a further 61 to make India bat again.

Live Scorecard:

Marlon Samuels, in the meanwhile, has completed his 12th Test fifty. Bravo, on the other hand, is going from strength to strength. 

As six by Samuels off Ashwin helps West Indies get past the 400-run mark. However, Ojha provides India a much needed breakthrough in the next over having Bravo caught by Dravid at first slip. 

Bravo's 230 ball 136 was inclusive of 16 hits to the fence and four over it. He and Samuels added 132 for the fifth wicket. But his dismissal came at a time when the visitors require a further 77 runs to make India bat again. 

West Indies 403 for five after 111 overs.
12:13  
Live Scorecard:

Marlon Samuels has ensured West Indies start the second session on Day Four with a bang, smashing three boundaries in the first over bowled by Ishant. 

In the second over after resumption umpire Bruce Oxenford turns down a loud appeal by Ojha (off Bravo). Replays confirm there's a big inside edge. BCCI's decision not to use DRS in the series has proved costly for the team.

The fifth wicket partnership has now got past the 100-run mark.

The visitors have made 380 for four after 106 overs.
11:03  
Live Scorecard:

Yadav's 14th over, the 91st of the innings, was his most expensive - 15 runs coming off it as West Indies surpassed the 300-run mark en route. 

Bravo (121 not out) and Samuels have combined well thus far, putting on a 70-run partnership for the fifth wicket and it has come at a quick pace (in just 14 overs). 

Samuels (31 not out) has settled down well after a tentative start. He is dealing mostly in boundaries. 

West Indies have made 339 for four after 98 overs. The visitors have dominated the opening session on Day Four, scoring 144 runs in 36 overs at four runs an over. 

They still require 139 runs though to make India bat again. 
10:36  
Live Scorecard:

Bravo and Chanderpaul had added 74 runs (in about 22 overs) on the fourth morning and his dismissal is no doubt a vital blow to West Indies fortunes. 

However, Bravo carries on, reaching his second Test hundred with a couple of boundaries off Yadav. 

It is his maiden Test ton against India.

The visitors have made 304 for four after 91 overs.
10:06  
Live Scorecard:

Umesh Yadav to share the new ball with Ishant. Bravo hits his third ball to the fence to bring on the 100-run partnership for the fourth wicket. 

And he strikes in his second over, getting an inside edge off Chanderpaul (47) that crashes into the latter's stumps. 

The veteran's 94-ball knock was inclusive of six hits to the fence and he and Bravo put on 108 runs for the fourth wicket. However, his dismissal has exposed the West Indies batting. 

The visitors have made 269 for four after 84 overs. Marlon Samuels has come out to bat.
09:45  
Live Scorecard:

The second new ball is taken in the 81st over, the 19th of the day, and Bravo hits Ishant's third ball to the fence to help his side get past the 250-run mark. 

West Indies 253 for three after 81 overs.
09:38  
Live Scorecard:

Ishant Sharma comes in to replace R Ashwin (25-2-61-0) in the day's 11th over.

Ashwin goes wicketless in his first spell (5-1-10-0). Bravo drives Ishant's second ball past cover for his third boundary, his second of the day. 

However, he is fortunate to survive a straightforward run out chance in the next ball as Gautam Gambhir makes a mess out of it. 

Chanderpaul gets his boundary of the day in the first ball of the next over (bowled by Ashwin). However, a ball later he is seen struggling with cramps. He recovers fast though. 

In Ashwin's seventh over of the day Bravo smashes his fourth six of the innings, straight over the bowler's head. 

The visitors have made 249 for three after 80 overs.

The third ball he bowls is hammered by Bravo for the first boundary of the day, the shot also bringing up the 50-run partnership for the fourth wicket. 

In the day's ninth over, Bravo completes his seventh Test fifty, his third against India.

The visitors have reached 216 for three after 72 overs.
