GROS ISLET – An unbroken century stand between Ravi Ashwin and Wriddhiman Saha extinguished West Indies’ early enthusiasm, as India recovered from a dodgy start to make a strong finish to the opening day of the third Test here yesterday.

India were teetering on the brink of collapse just before tea at 126 for five but fought back gallantly in the final session to keep West Indies wicket-less and reach 234 for five at the Darren Sammy National Stadium.

At the close, Ashwin was closing in on yet another century against West Indies, unbeaten on 75, while wicketkeeper Saha was on the verge of a third Test half-century on 46 not out. (CMC)
