Bhuvneshwar swings it for India

Owing to Kumar’s third Test five-wicket haul, India finished day four in a position to dictate terms on the final day, as they reached 157 for three at stumps for an overall lead of 285 runs. India had a first-innings lead of 128 runs. 

At tea, the visitors were placed at 31/0, and thereafter Shikhar Dhawan (26) and KL Rahul (28) looked to get quick runs. And they were successful in this effort up to an extent as the runs flowed quickly, and they put up a 49 run stand in just 7.3 overs. 

But Rahul then was caught at second slip off Miguel Cummins (2-22), who also trapped skipper Virat Kohli (4) LBW soon afterwards, and that put the brakes on the Indian scoring. 

The 50-mark had come up in the ninth over, and Ajinkya Rahane (51 not out) then looked to push the scoring. But Dhawan too departed at the other end, LBW to Roston Chase (1-41) making things a tad tougher. 

West Indies meanwhile were struggling with their over-rate and they put on Kraigg Brathwaite (0-33) in tandem with the off-spinner. 

This allowed Rahane and Rohit Sharma (41 not out) to break the shackles, as the duo put up a 50-run stand off just 92 balls.
