1.15pm So India declare at 343 for 7. West Indies need 419 to win - one run more than the highest-ever fourth-innings chase in Test cricket history. Two exquisite knocks over the last two days, from Rahane and then Vihari, but now the focus shifts on to the WI batting. How will they play out the 45 minutes that are left in the post-lunch session? Join us in ten minutes to learn more.
Nicholas : "@AussieBren go have a look at the century Chase made in his second test to deny India a win. He can do it again for sure."
AussieBren: "Backing Roston Chase to do a Ben Stokes and lead West Indies to a famous victory. Seems to be the year for famous and thrilling victories. "
Hiteshi: " All due respect to Rahane and Vihari, but being a Rohit Sharma fan, I believe the only entry Rohit had to this side was by replacing them. And oh! They both performed. The Test format truly tests my patience"
GH Vihari c †Hope b Holder 93 (128b 10x4 1x6) SR: 72.65
James McCaghrey: "Roston chase is averaging 29 with the ball and 40 with the bat this year, could we know consider him an all-rounder, albeit a batting all rounder " -- Without a doubt. He's WI's only spin option in Tests these days

Thank you, Hemant. Earlier today, PV Sindhu made history by becoming the first Indian woman to win the World Championships. She obliterated her opponent in the final in 37 minutes. Sindhu's mantra? Brute force and no mercy. More here as Susan Ninan reflects.
Kohli signals Vihari to stay there. And that's drinks as well. Over to Sreshth

Sidd: "Can everyone just relax? There's plenty of time remaining in this test match. Tea is about an hour away. I'm sure Vihari will reach his century by then allowing Kohli to declare. Our bowlers are more than capable of taking 10 wickets in 4 sessions even if you include the possibility of rain."

Dipak Basu: "Remembering Kaif disgusted with Ganguly's careful plodding to a test 100 in South Africa and hitting out for the winning runs, leaving Ganguly on 98 not out" -- Poor Kaif had got a full toss angling down the leg stump

Naman Khatwani: "I think one thing that the Test championship will really improve is teams waiting for personal milestones to declare. With 60 points on the line, I'm sure teams will not wait for individuals to reach their centuries to declare."
