Welcome to the coverage of Day 3 of the first Test between West Indies and India in Antigua on Saturday.

Pacer Ishant Sharma's spirited effort and reckless batting by the West Indies saw India take control of the first Test on Day 2, in Antigua, on Friday.

The West Indies lost five wickets in the final session and were left reeling at 189 for eight in their first innings at stumps. They trail India by 108 runs.

The visitors will be hoping to pick up the two remaining West Indies quickly and grab a sizeable first innings lead.

Ishant took a five-wicket haul, his ninth in Tests, to put India in a strong position going into Day 3, at the Sir Vivian Richards stadium.

The hosts were helped by Roston Chase (48 off 47), John Campbell (23 off 30), Darren Bravo (18 off 27), Shai Hope (24 off 65) and Shimron Hetmyer (35 off 47), but all of them were guilty of throwing it away after promising starts.

India, who resumed the day at 203 for six, went on to amass 297, courtesy a fighting 58 from Ravindra Jadeja, who was ably supported by Ishant (19 off 62), during their 60-run stand for the eighth wicket.
