3.35 pm West Indies have about 16 overs to face before stumps tonight, and a score as mammoth as this, can cause quite a lot of problems even on a flat pitch. The bowling, while not exactly being terrible, wasn't quite effective either. West Indies will be quite happy to be done with it. Double-century for Kohli, century for Ashwin, after being dropped on 43 and a fifties to Shikhar Dhawan and Amit Mishra as well. Job done by the batsmen, now it's time for those five bowlers to strut their stuff

KC Brathwaite to Mishra, FOUR, that would probably be harsh to be called a drop, but slip did have the chance to snap it up. In the end, it gets Mishra a half-century. A little late cut slips past Carlos Brathwaite's left, who was moving to his right anticipating the cut shot to be a little stronger
