    WI vs IND, 2nd Test: India eight wickets away from a series clean sweep against West Indies

    India put itself in the pole position to win the second Test against West Indies courtesy of some aggressive batting and disciplined bowling on Day Four at the Queen’s Park Oval, Port of Spain, Trinidad on Monday.

  • July 24, 2023 03:33
    Stumps - Day 4

    Led by Mohammed Siraj’s career-best figures and then Indian batters’ race against time kept the visitor’s hopes alive at stumps on day 4. Five quick wickets in the first session for India meant India had enough time to set a comfortable target for West Indies but multiple rain interruptions keep India at bay. West Indies lost two key wickets in the 365 chase as the match goes in the final day.

    Ashwin with an attacking field, two slips, short fine leg and bowls from over the wicket to keep McKenzie in check. Ashwin to McKenzie, OUT!

Bowls a shorter, quicker and flatter ball which went through McKenzie’s defence to his pads and looks plumb in front of the wicket. Mckenzie goes for a duck. Jermaine Blackwood comes in at number four.

  • July 24, 2023 02:11
    WI 28/0 in 12 overs

    Unadkat is looking threatening, coming in from over the wicket. He is generating late movement, which is causing some trouble to the West Indian openers.

    Covers are on.

  • July 24, 2023 00:52
    India declares!

    Another aggressive shot from Kishan. Not in complete control this time, but he is rewarded with a six this time. Next is a low full toss from Roach next and Kishan smacks it over long on for another six and that is his fifty!

    And Rohit Sharma decides that is enough. India has declared.

    Lead is creeping close to 350. Will India declare soon?

  • July 24, 2023 00:39
    IND 149/2 in 21 overs

    Gill and Kishan unable to find boundaries. West Indies has set up a defensive and its bowlers are bowling to the plan.

    Day 3 Match Report

    West Indies dragged its way to 229 for five against India on a day of attritional cricket, constantly interrupted by rain, with the run rate barely floating over two in the second Test on Sunday at the Queen’s Park Oval, Port of Spain, Trinidad.

    Starting from an overnight score of 86 for one, West Indies captain Kraig Brathwaite and Kirk McKenzie began with caution as they saw out the Indian bowlers in turn.

    F1rOGmDXoAA2SQB.jpeg

    McKenzie was the first to fall, after he edged a Mukesh Kumar length ball to wicketkeeper Ishan Kishan, to gift the debutant pacer his first international wicket. Soon after the left-hander’s dismissal, it began to rain, causing the first rain-enforced break of day.

    Brathwaite was patience personified as he played out 235 balls to get to his 75. Only an out-of-ordinary ball by Ravichandran Ashwin -- which drifted in like a frisbee and spun viciously to strike the stumps -- could put an end to the West Indian batter’s vigil.
