Asking the host to follow after posting a mediocre total on the board in the first innings, India continued their on-field domination even in the second innings as well.

After grabbing the wicket of opener Kraigg Brathwaite in the last session of day three, India continued from where they left as Umesh Yadav got the early wicket of Darren Bravo on day 4 before rain came down.

Indian bowlers are having the time of their summer in the Caribbean as the pace attack is making their coach, Anil Kumble, feel proud with their bowling numbers. Having done well enough in the first innings to wrap the host at 243, the bowling line up seemed pumped to finish the match by the end of day 4.

Umesh Yadav set the tone for the visitors early on, trapping Darren Bravo for just 10 runs. Bowlers kept both the ends tight before the pair of Marlon Samuels and Rajindra Chandrika got going. They both struck few boundaries and looked solid on the crease.

Match was delayed as shower came down and West Indies stand at 83-2 after the play resumed. Marlon Samuels 41*(62), Ishant Sharma 1/17.
