Ind 185-3 (72 ovs) & 297 vs WI 222 | Scorecard

Pace from both ends as Cummins is called into the attack from the other end, with five overs left for stumps.

Rahane steers a short wide delivery to thirdman for a single to bring up his fifty, from 128 balls -- his second of the match.

He was lucky to get the reprieve in the previous over as West Indies captain Holder decided not take the review. Infact, he had a catch dropped earlier in his innings as John Campbell put down a simple catch in the covers.

Interestingly, Roach was totally convinced that there was no edge but his captain Holder wasn't interested as they wasted on a golden opportunity to break this partnership so close to stumps.

Kohli taps the next ball on the off-side and calls Rahane across for a quick single.

Rahane then pulls a short ball for one and Kohli clips the next for another single.

In the next over, Roach is steered past the slips for two runs by Kohli before he drives the next ball straight back.

Roach gets the ball to dart in sharply as Kohli is hit high on the pads before he watchfully keeps out the last ball.

Gabriel comes back from the other end, with three overs left in the day and Rahane seems to have shut shop as he watchfully bats out a maiden over.

India are 176 for three in 70 overs the lead grows to 251 runs.

Fast bowler Cummins is back into the attack and he bowls from round the wicket.

He tries the short ball which Kohli pulls through midwicket for a four to complete his fifty, from 105 balls, having hit just two fours.

A single to Kohli two balls later brings up the 100-run stand for the fourth wicket from 239 balls.
