    91.2 gone!! Jaiswal is run-out!! He looks stunned, as does Gill at the other end. Jaiswal slams his forehead, and looks an unhappy man. He starts walking back like he never wanted to. A double-hundred was there for the taking, but who knew his dream would be cut short this early. The ball was so similar to the previous one - full and on off - and Jaiswal again drove it to mid-off. But Chanderpaul moved a step to his right, and threw the ball at the keeper's end, from where Jaiswal had taken off to end up three-fourths of the way towards Gill. There was no response from the latter, and it was too late for Jaiswal to get back 325/3
    17.3 Rahul looks to attack, and perishes! The ball spun away sharply as Rahul came out of his crease, and Imlach makes no mistake. Rahul looks shocked at the way that one turned, but he also failed to really get to the pitch of it. Smart bowling from Warrican, who may have seen Rahul advancing and pulled back his length. But that one did turn a fair bit 58/1
    68.3 Too much spin? No, Richard Illingworth raises his finger. Longish chat... review taken last second. 85ks length ball with a slightly scrambled seam. Sudharsan's feet were stuck in the crease, he tried to play across the line. The back pad came in the way of the flick, inside edge beaten. Top part of the flap on the back leg hit. Looks dead. Long wait for ball-tracking. Landed around fifth, on a length. Impact middle and hitting leg. Whaddayaknow?! Wickets are still part of the game. 251/2

    108.3 Reddy had two sixes there but that was with the fielder up. Warrican pushed Seales back and Reddy looked to clear him with another slow sweep. Got a top edge trying to hit the slow, fullish stock ball on the up and against the spin. Warrican has a quiet elbow pump in celebrations. Replay shows it wasn't an edge, just upper-half of the bat. It turned in his hand upon impact 416/4
    134.2 bowled him!! Jurel falls in looking for a big hit... and with that, India declare. It was the last over before what would've been drinks, and Gill decides it is enough. Chase bowled it on a short of a length on the stumps, but the ball kept low. Jurel went pulling hard at it, but was done in by the lack of bounce. He scores 44, and India feel 518 is enough 518/5

    7.2 Reflexes beyond human standards. No, it was actually a freak catch. Sudharsan walks away from short leg, looking down with ball in hand. His little finger is shaking a touch. Here's the replay. Campbell goes after the length ball angling in, with the hard sweep. Connected sweetly. Sudharsan was squirming, his palms crossed over his shoulders, the head was going down and the ball lodged around his neck - might've been on the base of the grille. Would've been dead ball at one point but that law has been changed. Thankfully didn't hit him around the head. Campbell, rightfully, looks in disbelief for a while, hides his face before going back. 21/1
    27.3 Three juggles and Rahul takes it at slip! Chanderpaul had a good battle with Jadeja, ends with the bowler firing in a 94ks wide length ball that spun in. Finished around fifth and it kept rising. Chanderpaul wasn't sure about how much it'd spin, whether he should keep coming down or stay stable. He opened the face fully, bat slightly away from the body, hoping for the best. Ball deflected to Rahul's left at a relatively easy pace. He fumbled but the ball was close enough for the second and third juggles to be in control. Drinks 87/2
    32.1 Athanaze has been jebaited! Proper half-volley on middle, looped up. His front leg was outside leg to open his hips up, he then got on one knee and looked to mow it across the line. Got it off the bottom of the bat and it went feebly to midwicket around waist-height. 106/3
    49.3 Oh, absolute ripper! Hope absolutely done in by that one and Kuldeep is pumped up. Tossed up full and the ball drifts away across Hope, who presses forward in defence, but down the wrong line. The ball goes past the outside edge and kisses the off stump. That delivery itself was *chef's kiss*. And like Chanderpaul and Athanaze before him, Hope's promising start is cut short, and he's now gone 31 consecutive innings without a half-century 156/5
    33.3 'Oh no, not like this' type of dismissal. Hopelessly soft. Stock ball on a full length at leg, stuck in the pitch a touch and turned away a bit. Chase wanted to flick it through the leg side, bat-face never closed. Didn't check the shot and it popped straight back to Jadeja for a bread-basket catch 107/4
    51.6 Great catch by the FSL fielder and it's given out immediately. But Imlach reviews! This spun in from a length on off and Imlach went back to block. From the first replay, it looks like there was no bat involved! That popped to the fielder's right and he took a good one-handed grab, but that just went off the pad. But wait, they check for lbw and that's crashing into leg stump! And just like that, Kuldeep Yadav has removed both set batters in two overs! 163/6
    55.2 Misses the reverse, and up goes the finger! And Greaves is walking off. Completely misses this ball tossed up full around off, and it's the legbreak that spins back in and that was plumb! Hit him in front of middle. That one also drifted away a little. Sensational bowling by Kuldeep today! 174/7
    72.5 Off stump sent for a walk! You can't keep Bumrah out for long! Full around off, 140kph, the reverse swing sees it shape away late to go past the outside edge and send the off stump cartwheeling. Pierre's resistance ends in the first over after lunch! 221/9
    56.3 Siraj does have his man now! Warrican tamely drives at a full ball outside off and all he manages is an inside edge onto the stumps as the ball tails in. One is knocked back, one is sent flying and Siraj brings out the 'Siuuu' celebration. First wicket for a fast bowler in this Test! 175/8

    81.5 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. 248/10

    63.3 Jadeja celebrappeals Vernon Phillander-style, no look-backs. Paul Reiffel takes his time before raising his finger. Campbell reviews. One big question - Did the turn take it down leg? Shortish ball from around the wicket, landed on middle and leg, turned in a bit to beat the reverse sweep. The front leg was bent to the right, ball hit on the outer-half... Still enough for three reds! Jadeja raises his hands and punches the air, looks up and smiles. Campbell trudges super slow, gentle raise of the bat to receive some applause. 212/3
    8.3 Miscued pull... diving catch at midwicket by Gill. He was at short midwicket, raced to the right and took it very low before sliding on the ground. "Come ooooon, yess!" goes Siraj as he pumps the air. 136ks. Another cross-seamer. This may have landed on the seam/strings. Hurried Chanderpaul, who got square-on and looked to muscle it it from across his ribs. Packed leg-side infield. Square leg, catching midwicket, mid-on. Deep fine was out and deep square behind the infielder 17/1
    14.3 Ohhhh, what a ball! Ashwin-esque offbreak from Sundar At 89.9 kph, that was unplayable. Seam pointing towards backward point, drifted in to hit a length around leg, hit the seam and ripped away. Roared too. Athanaze was side-on and tried to cover the line while defending straight. But like Alastair Cook in Edgbaston 2018, he was beaten neck and crop. Off and middle dinked. End of session. 35/2

    83.5 Chopped back onto his stumps, and just like that Hope falls. Siraj is off on his celebratory run. Wobble-seam back of a length ball outside off, Hope is stuck to the crease and pushes away from his body. The ball also keeps a little low as Hope gets a thick inside-edge that cannons into the middle stump. He is down on his haunches before trudging off for what has been a sensational 103. 271/4
    91.3 Bad luck chases Chase too, snipers him with low bounce. The slow shortish ball finishes around shin-height. Landed around middle and leg and spun back in a touch. Chase was deep in the crease, square-on and flicked it off the back foot. Too early on the shot 298/6
    89.3 That keeps very, very low and Imlach is trapped right in front. West Indies lose their fifth and Kuldeep has another one. Pushed just a little quicker on leg stump, Imlach stays back, misses and is struck in front. He doesn't opt for the review. Think that would have thudded into leg stump 293/5

    91.5 Pierre wanted quick runs, Kuldeep was happy to entice the big shots given the risk involved. The risk eventuates in Pierre top-edging a slog sweep to cover. Was a fullish ball that landed on off and spun away sharply. Took the lowest-third of the bat 298/7
    94.2 Inside edge, onto the stumps. Fullish length ball landed on fourth and kept coming in with the angle. Warrican's feet don't move much forward, there's a big gap too. Inside edge beaten, back pad brushed and leg stump went sailing 307/8
    96.5 Pearler! Grinning appeal for caught behind from Bumrah, he surely enjoyed it. Given. Fuller side of length on fourth. Phillip's feet were nearly jammed as he tried to cover the line with the bat facing mid-off. Got a thin edge to the keeper. Very skiddy ball, may have bounced a touch low. Bat was angled and was going towards mid-on. Hit close to the back of the bat. Edge though 311/9
    118.5 A wicket, finally and that ends the West Indies' innings on 390. Seales is filthy with himself and bangs the bat on the turf in annoyance. On a length on leg stump, he flicks this uppishly, but straight to deep square leg where Washington does the rest. India need 121 to seal the series 2-0. 390/10
