Rahane hits century before India declare on 500-9

August 02, 2016 01:35

RAIN STOPS PLAY!

India 500-9d (171.1 ovs) vs WI 196 | Scorecard

It has gone quite dark at the venue as the floodlights have been switched on. Yadav takes a single before Rahane comes down the track and lofts Brathwaite over long-on for a six to bring up India's 500 and also take the lead past the 300-run mark.

Yadav has another wild swing against Chase but gets a top edge and is caught on the leg side after scoring 19.

That forces captain Virat Kohli to call his team back as they declare on 500 for nine after taking a huge lead of 304 runs.

Rahane finishes unbeaten on a superb innings of 108 from 237 balls, having hit 13 fours and three sixes.

A flurry of wickets for Chase in the last few overs as he finishes with five for 121 in 36.1 overs.

Meanwhile, it has started to rain again and it will be a while before West Indies can start their second innings. The umpires have taken tea early as it continues to rain at Sabina Park.
