Great fight back from the last 3 batsman. If WI can not loose another wicket this evening, then they should be pretty happy with the days play

[yuppie]

Holder gone

[sussexpob]

Pitch is supposed to be flat, but West Indies at least putting something on the board to defend this session. With India a bowler light in the second innings, and Chase showing how to play the spinners, hopefully Windies can rally in this test. Be nice to see a good match

[yuppie]

95 overs bowled and 7 wickets fallen. What type of sorcery is this?

75 overs bowled by spin helps.

[mikesiva]

West indies 311 all out.

Chase 106
Holder 52

Umesh 6-88
Kuldeep 3-83

[yuppie]

Wi making a fight of this. India 3 down.

[mikesiva]

Shaw out for 70, Rahul and Pujara cheaply....

Kohli out for 45!

Holder not only doing well with the bat...he's been leading the bowling attack too.

India 173-4 at tea.

[sussexpob]

Rahane and Pant now taking the game firmly into India's grasp....

[sussexpob]

Did someone dig up this pitch over night?

[mikesiva]

India collapsed this morning to 367 all out.

Rahane 80
Pant 92

Holder 5-56
Gabriel 3-107

[GG - Amir Sohail]

I remember calling Holder useless during the Sri Lanka series and ever since he's torn it up

[mikesiva]

You weren't alone. Back then I also said that. But he's shown up the useless top order.

Kraigg 0
Powell 0
Shai Hope 28
Hetmyer 17
Ambris 38
Chase 6
Dowrich 0
Holder 19

A rare failure for the captain.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Game of two halfs, which was a shame.

I think I've always been in the pro-Holder camp. :)
