KOLKATA – India marched steadily towards victory after enforcing the follow-on despite an improved batting performance by West Indies in the second innings of the second cricket Test at Eden Gardens yesterday.
At the close on the third day, West Indies, following on, were 195 for three wickets, still trailing India by 283 runs, with Darren Bravo (38) and Shivnarine Chanderpaul (21) at the crease.
Adrian Barath (62) and Kirk Edwards (60) scored dogged half-centuries in West Indies’ second innings after the visitors collapsed in a heap to be all out for 153 in their first essay.
West Indies lost opener Kraigg Brathwaite (nine) early, but Barath and Edwards added 93 for the second wicket to lead the tourists’ fightback. (Reuters)
