James: "Vish, more recently, Chris "The Phantom" Martin took more wickets than he scored runs."

yash: "3 runs from Bumrah , enabled Jadeja to score 25 at the other end.. this was missing lately from India's tail, but today great resistance shown from sharma and Bumrah"

Ram: "I heat a lot of funny comments and noises from behind the commentator's box i am sure it is the passionate West Indies fans in the stadium :)"

Arun: "Class act from Jadeja! What should have been a sub 200 score is now almost 300!"


As we wait for play to resume, here is some reading:

1) 'Can't keep throwing away starts' - Karun Nair digs deep to make it count in Duleep Trophy

2) The Cricket Monthly: Do I love to hate Dhoni? Or hate to love him?

3) In badminton, India's B Sai Praneeth has made the semifinals of the World Championships for the first time, assuring himself of a medal. He's played well so far but has a mountain to climb against World No. 1 Kento Momota, his semifinal opponent. What can he do to pull off Mission Momota?

11:45am India have made it to lunch on Day 2 with 297 on the board. They would have taken that at most points yesterday. What a hand from the lower order after important knocks for Rahane and Rahul. Jadeja with yet another responsible Test fifty. Has given West Indies a lot more to worry about than they would have liked. It was two-paced yesterday, and the pitch looks like it has dried further and taken a tilt towards the slower side. Run-scoring won't be easy. Back in a bit.

W
Holder to Jadeja, OUT, taken by Hope. Fifth catch for the stand-in keeper. Short ball climbing in the corridor. Behind this to try and play the hook, but that gets very steep on him. He ends up slicing it behind the stumps and Hope takes a few steps back to hold onto that
