    6.1 Can't keep Bumrah out for long! Or can you? India were almost celebrating there. Umpire not interested, but India review. Beautiful delivery, but did it hit the bat? On a length outside off, and Bumrah thinks he drew the outside edge as he got it to slightly straighten. But the bat also did hit the pad, so that could account for the noise. The bat hit the pad and also spun. And it looks like the ball did kiss the outside edge just as the bat hits the pad. This may take some time to confirm. And the third umpire says Campbell has to go! if not for the bat hitting pad, maybe that would have hit closer to the middle of the bat, but the turning bat means it took the leading edge. Jurel, of course, gobbled the chance up. And Bumrah gets his first 20/2
    3.5 Siraj draws first blood! Back of length outside leg, Chanderpaul looks to fend it down but only manages to glove it down the leg side and Jurel takes a good catch! Chanderpaul's return to Test cricket was never going to be easy, but he'll be disappointed in the manner of that dismissal 12/1
    11.4 Siraj is decimating West Indies here! The change of angle does the trick. Pitched up outside off, draws Athanaze into a drive. Gets a thick outside edge and Rahul laps up the chance at second slip. He was looking good while he was out there, but like his team-mates, he's not been able to kick on for any meaningful duration 42/4
    9.6 King leaves and sees his stumps in a mess! Siraj does it with the scramble seam again! Full outside off and that's a very poor leave from King. Not wide enough to leave and Siraj had been bringing the ball back in for the last three deliveries. The ball crashes into middle stump! Siraj brings out the 'Siuuu'-lebration 39/3
    26.5 Siraj with a jaffa, and he has a fourth! Beautiful from the fast bowler as he pitches it up outside off and gets it to seam away, taking the outside edge. Jurel was wrong-footed for a moment, but he makes no mistake in the end and WI sink further. Siraj was moving it in all over long, and gets the wicket with the one going away 105/6
    23.2 Jalebi-fafda stock ball. Sumptuous. 81ks, looped outside off on a fullish length. Hope looks at the line and the flight and decides to go for the booming cover drive - semi-horizontal bat. The ball spun in sharply, he tried to straighten the bat swing but was too late. Ball hits the outer-half of half stump 90/5

    38.6 Another yorker, off stump first jumps out, does a single cartwheel and then rolls to the leg side. High pace, lands around the crease, Greaves got low, cleared his back leg a touch got his bat behind but the ball was too quick. Hate to be a batter there. Subdued celebrations from Bumrah, corker though 150/8
    37.5 Pad first and that's given lbw. Pierre reviews. 90ks offbreak on a fullish length, landed around fourth stump kept going with the angle. Pierre was midway into planting his foot across as the ball rushed him, hit the pad before the bat came across and pushed it to cover. Hawk-Eye shows three reds. Pierre, who had started walking after the first couple of replays, has to complete his journey 144/7
    44.1 Innings done. Maybe not, Warrican reviews. India were confident but the review was quick too. Was a fullish length ball that landed just outside off and kept going away. Warrican went for the reverse sweep off the back of the bat. Sudeep says that's intentional. Unfortunately for him, it beat bat and lightly brushed the glove on its way to the keeper 162/10
    40.1 Keeps going for the yorker, gets another. This might seem like a yorker at first but landed well in front of the crease. Slanted in sharply and beat the cover drive to knock out off pole and rattle middle. 141ks 153/9

    18.2 After a flurry of boundaries, the cut has cost Jaiswal. Not enough room and he nicks off to the keeper. Look at Seales go with the run, jump and the upper cut to the air! 133ks back of length ball on fourth stump. Scrambled seam working for Seales 68/1
    67.5 Rahul falls first over after lunch! Rahul is caught at cover! Tossed up full outside off and Rahul leans into a drive, but he hits it in the air and it's a simple catch for Justin Greaves. West Indies will be delighted with that. They could not have hoped for a better start to the session! 218/4
    24.5 Celebrappeal from Chase, doesn't look back as Sudharsan tried pulling the wrong ball. That landed on a length around off and finished on middle, 92ks, Sudharsan cleared his front leg wide and looked to hit hard. He had bent quite a bit and was hit on the back thigh in front of middle. Awkward stay for Sudharsan 90/2
    56.6 That is such a soft dismissal and West Indies finally have something to celebrate in this morning session. Gill tries to do a KL but does not succeed. Chase gently tosses this up just around off stump. Gill goes for a reverse, but the ball hits the splice of his bat and only goes as far as first slip, who takes the simplest of catches. 188/3
    122.6 Maiden Test wicket for Pierre, which ends Jurel's stunning knock. Pushed quicker just outside off, Jurel pushes at it, gets a thin edge and Hope hangs onto to a good catch. But this has been a top, top knock from Jurel, who finishes on 125. 424/5

    10.1 Straight to short leg. Easy as! Flatter length ball at 89.9kph on middle and leg. Some extra bounce and Campbell works this straight to Sai Sudharsan, who swallows it up with minimum of fuss. 24/2
    7.2 Flying Reddy sends back Chanderpaul cheaply again. Banged in short into the body of Chanderpaul. He gets in decent position and nails the pull to the left of square leg. But, there's Reddy who dives full-length to his left and takes a lovely catch. He was almost parallel to the ground when he took the catch and made sure the ball didn't pop out when his hands hit the turf. Superb stuff 12/1
    35.3 Leading edge and taken by Washington. The previous comment couldn't have come at a worse time for Athanaze. Washington hits the edge of the rough as the ball stops and spins away from Atahanze around off stump. He looks to turn this to the on-side, gets a leading edge and Washington moves swiftly to his right and takes a comfortable catch. Athanaze's innings ends on 38. 92/6
    16.2 Edged and taken! Jadeja has his second as he gets this full ball to spin away and take the outside edge. Rahul takes the catch low, making no mistake. King was looking to defend but got done in by the one that spun 34/3
    17.3 Knocks him over with a beauty! Roston was left chasing that, with very little idea what the ball was doing. Pitches on a length on middle, and Chase was playing for the ball spinning back in, but it's the one that goes on with the angle and it goes past the outside edge to clip the top of off. Kuldeep leaps and punches the air as India get a step closer to victory 35/4
    20.6 Screamer from Jaiswal! Not Jadeja's best bowl as he goes short outside off. Hope wanted to cut it away but it goes off the top edge, looping to Jaiswal's right at short third. But he moves to his right and dives to complete a wonderful grab and West Indies are collapsing in a hurry! Jaiswal is thrilled with that grab, after some suspect fielding in the Australia and England tours 46/5
    36.4 Huge, huge appeal for lbw and the umpire agrees. But Greaves has reviewed immediately which suggests he might have got an inside-edge. Has he? Doesn't look like. Excellent yorker from Siraj, tailing back into Greaves on middle and leg. The batter misses and is trapped in front of the stumps. No bat, on we go. Impact in line, and the ball-tracker brings up umpire's call on leg stump. . West Indies retain the review but Greaves has to go. 98/7

    36.6 Bat goes to square leg, the ball goes to mid-off and Siraj has a second wicket in the over. Wobble-seam length ball outside off, he looks for an ugly swipe across the line, loses his bat and the ball travels as far as Gill who takes a simple catch 98/8
    42.1 Up in the air, and taken! Jadeja has his fourth as Layne's fun comes to an end. Tossed up around off and it spins away so it takes the toe end as Layne looks to go down the ground. Ends up skying it and Siraj settles underneath it from mid-off 122/9
    45.1 And that, will be that! Tossed up full and Seales can only offer a simple return catch that bounces off Kuldeep's chest and he grabs it on the second go. No five-for for Jadeja, but it's been a superb effort form him and Kuldeep and Siraj. India win by an innings and 140 runs 146/10
