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.

Avinash: "Wow...Nice to see Bumrah"s control percentage (100 %) which higher than many other indian batsmen this innings. " --- Can't accuse Windies of making his stay difficult today
Vish: "Bhagwat Chandrasekhar had taken more test wickets than he had scored runs. Bumrah is shaping up to be right there."
