WI 209-8 (67 ovs) vs India 518-5d | Scorecard

Kuldeep is on his 10th over of the morning, hunting his fifth Test five-for. Anderson Phillip gets one on the pads but follows up by slamming a boundary off the next delivery. He swings and misses the next ball, then clips one towards leg side for a single. Pierre looks to drive through covers but only finds an inside edge through fine leg for two. Seven runs from the over-West Indies 194/8 after 62 overs.

Washington Sundar continues from the other end. Phillip keeps defending and nudging the ball around, eventually picking up three runs. After 63 overs, West Indies are 197/8.

Kuldeep is finally taken off, and Ravindra Jadeja comes into the attack, aiming for a five-for of his own. Phillip tries to cut but misses, and a no-ball follows. He then slams a boundary and defends the last two deliveries. Four runs from the over - West Indies 202/8 after 64 overs.

Sundar continues his tidy work, giving away just 1 run - 203/8 after 65 overs.

Jadeja keeps the pressure on. Pierre attempts a reverse sweep but can't get any reward, then is beaten by the next delivery. Only 1 run off the over - West Indies 204/8 after 66 overs.

Sundar returns, with Pierre defending on the front foot. He picks up a single next ball, Phillip takes a couple, and a single ends the over. Four runs from it - West Indies 209/8 after 67 overs.
