India 423-5 (150 ovs) vs WI 196 | Scorecard

The next ball comes in as Rahane is again struck on the pads before another outswinger beats him. The right-hander is looking totally at sea and Holder must be wondering what more he needs to do to get a wicket.

In his next over, Rahane is once again hit on the pads as he looks to whip it across the line but again the LBW appeal is turned down with the ball slipping down the leg side.

The next ball is short as Rahane pulls it behind square for two runs to finally make a connection with the bat in the last eight deliveries faced against Holder.

India don't seem in a hurry at all as they are going at just over two runs per over to score 49 runs from 22 overs on Day 3.

Chase gets the big wicket of Kohli, who is caught at short leg by Chandrika after scoring 44 from 90 balls, just when he was looking to turn it on and score some quick runs.

Maybe Kohli forgot that there was a fielder close in, who did well to stand still and hold on to the tough catch.

India 284-3 (100 ovs) vs WI 196 | Scorecard

West Indies are looking to build the pressure by bowling a string of tight overs, three successive maiden overs before Ajinkya Rahane turns Gabriel on the leg side for a single and Kohli gets two on the leg side.

He is beaten off the last ball as he looks for the drive through the off-side but is beaten by some movement.

In the next over, Rahane gets his first boundary as he makes most of a short, wide delivery from Holder, hitting it through the covers for a four.

India 277-3 (96 ovs) vs WI 196 | Scorecard

No surprise that West Indies have taken the second new ball straightaway after the tea interval.

It is Shannon Gabriel who will start off with the new ball to kick off the post tea session.

The first ball is full and right in the slot as Rahul comes forward and drives it in some style through the covers for a four to begin the session in confident fashion.

India will look at scoring at a brisk rate in the post tea session and end up on somewhere close to the 400-run mark at stumps without losing too many wickets.

Kohli is hit on the fingers by a throw from the fielder at midwicket as he tries for a single but is sent back and receives the throw on his fingers.

Cummins to share the second new ball as he bowls at Kohli's pads who flicks it square for two runs.

The fast bowler bowls a big wide down the leg side which goes for five wides. Infact, Cummins pulls up after bowling that delivery and he looks to be in some pain, maybe some cramps.

He receives some treatment before he has to walk off the field, thereby adding to the West Indies's woes.

Holder takes over from the injured, bowling the remaining two deliveries to complete the 93rd over.

Gabriel drifts on the pads as Rahul glances it fine on the leg side for a four with the fine leg fielder placed a bit square.

The fast bowler has come close to getting an edge a few times but hasn't enjoyed any luck.

Rahul is beaten outside the off-stump as he pokes his bat at a wide one before there is an appeal for a catch down the leg side.

Umpire Aleem Dar refers the appeal to the television umpire and immediately gives a soft signal that it is not out.

Rahul tries to glance it but misses the flick and the ball is taken down the leg side by wicketkeeper Dowrich. There looks to be some sort of deflection in the replays but without a snickometre or the Hotspot it is difficult to ascertain conclusively whether there was an edge on that.

What did umpire Dar refer the appeal to the third umpire for? Was that to ascertain if there was an edge or whether the catch was taken cleanly? Interestingly, his soft signal was a not out, so it remains to be seen what the final decision will be.

And the third umpire confirms that there was an edge and Rahul has to walk back after being ruled out caught behind.

Rahul perishes after a superb innings of 158 from 303 balls, having hit 15 fours and three sixes.

Rahul definitely looked like he had got an edge but umpire Dar's soft signal left everyone confused.

TEA- DAY 2

India 259-2 (91 ovs) vs WI 196 | Scorecard

Kohli slaps a wide full delivery from Brathwaite in the gap through the covers for a beautiful boundary. A single followed by two runs to Rahul through the covers and another single makes it nine runs from the over for India off the part-time spinner.

In the next over, Rahul steals a quick single to bring up his 150, from 289 balls, in the 91st over. A wonderful innings from the youngster, who didn't throw his wicket away after getting to the century and was willing to grind it out and put in the hard yard to get the runs.

At tea on Day 2, India have reached 259 for two in 91 overs, for a lead of 63 runs. They scored 74 runs from 28 overs in the post-tea session while losing the wicket of Pujara, who played a subdued innings of 46 from 159 balls.

Rahul was instrumental in driving India forward despite the slow scoring rate as he made 150 not out from 289 balls, having hit 13 fours and three sixes.

Kohli also was content to play it safe as he made 21 from 51 balls with the duo already putting on 51 runs for the third wicket.

India 246-2 (88 ovs) vs WI 196 | Scorecard

West Indies are not taking the new ball straightaway as Cummins continues with the old ball.

Cummins beats Rahul with a full incoming delivery as the India opener looks to hit it across the line but is beaten and the appeal for LBW is turned down.

Rahul comes down the track to Bishoo and lofts him high over long-off for his third six. Two balls later, the leggie pitches short but Rahul can't beat the fielder at midwicket and misses out on an easy boundary.

Wonder why West Indies are delaying taking the second new ball? Are they content keeping the runs down and not looking to go for wickets at this stage?

Infact, West Indies skipper Holder is off the ground and maybe they are waiting for him to come back on the field.

Part-time off-spinner Brathwaite replaces Bishoo, who has bowled 14 overs for 46 runs.

West Indies seem content to sit back and hope for things to happen rather than try something to make their way back into the contest.

India may be scoring slowly but are steadily taking control of the match and getting into a position from where they will dictate the shots and West Indies will have no option but to fight for survival.

Off-spinner Chase comes on from the other end as Kohli decides it's time to put some energy back into the innings.

He lofts Chase over mid-on for his first boundary from the 34th ball he faces to take his score to 12.

India are milking the two spinners with relative ease to take their score to 246 for two in 88 overs, stretching their lead to 50 runs.

India 226-2 (80 ovs) vs WI 196 | Scorecard

Captain Kohli gets off the mark with a single to point off Bishoo and picks another single off the next over from Holder as West Indies keep the field well spread even against the new batsman.

Cummins come on to bowl to the 79th over to get him warmed up for the second new ball. Kohli steers the fourth ball through the off-side for two runs and then takes a single.

Two singles from Bishoo's 13th over takes India to 226 for two in 80 overs with Rahul on 131 and Kohli on seven.

India 215-2 (75 ovs) vs WI 196 | Scorecard

Rahul decides to be a bit more positive in the afternoon session as he lofts Holder over mid-off but hasn't timed it well and gets two runs.

Rest for Gabriel as Bishoo comes on from the Michael Holding End for the first time.

Pujara can't make most of a short wide ball, cutting it through the off-side for one while Rahul profits from a misfield as he collects a single before Pujara picks another run.

Pujara's patient vigil finally ends as he is dismissed run out. He looks to steal a quick single on the leg side but the fielder at square leg gets the direct hit to catch the batsman short of his crease.

Pujara is visibly disappointed at throwing his wicket away in that fashion as he walks back after a patient innings of 46 from 159 balls, having added 121 runs for the second wicket with Rahul.

Meanwhile, Rahul is struggling with a bit of cramps as the physio comes out to attend him twice. He hits a beautiful straight boundary off Holder before going down in pain as the umpires call for drinks.
