nctbadri: "hope they give the new ball to Nitish …. give me 6-7 overs upfront… that would make sense of his selection honestly " Doubt but it would be nice

yeti: "Is the Indian over rate alright? " Superfast express as India's train folks call it

Geetha: "Is India taking a step towards exorcising the ghosts of Eden Gardens 2001 by enforcing the follow-on? Seems quite courageous given they've bowled more than 80 overs." Even the ghosts are young adults now. Also, the opposition's standing also has a say in these decisions.

Nitss: "Why not groom your part-timer while others are doing well and not the other way around?" Maybe in the second innings.

12:57pm, Day 3, Innings break Waiting on some news... and we have it. India have enforced the follow-on. Bit of a surprise given 81.5 overs have been bowled. The Test isn't in danger for India by any means. It was a call based on workload, India have banked on their bowlers doing the job again. West Indies have shown resistance but lost wickets in clumps. Their first two wickets cost 87, last three made 74 but little in the middle. Pierre, Phillip and Seales held fort for a while. Kuldeep the star of India's show. Bumrah got one but looked lethal.

Kuldeep Yadav to Seales, OUT, Given out. Kuldeep has five-for, for now. WI review. Cross-seam googly/topspinner doesn't spin, beats the inside edge as Seales goes back for a straight-bat block. Hit on the back leg. Hawk-Eye shows three reds, top of middle. Applause for Kuldeep from team-mates. 270-run lead for India.

George : "I don't understand. You select a guy in the team to develop his all round skills. And then don't give him a bowl for 80 overs? What kind of strategy is that?" Fair in a way. Other bowlers have done a decent job
