Two wickets by Ravindra Jadeja and Mohammed Siraj helped India solidify their grip on the second Test despite West Indies showing some resistance in their fight to overcome a large deficit of runs at the end of day three's play at Port of Spain. At the end of the day three, WI was 229/5, with Alick Athanaze (37*) and Jason Holder (11*) still at the crease. Debutant Mukesh Kumar scalped his maiden wicket on the final ball of the session, dismissing Kirk for 32 after he was caught by wicketkeeper Ishan Kishan. Earlier, India were bundled out for 438 in first innings. Virat Kohli scored a century (121) and was supported by skipper Rohit Sharma (80), Yashasvi Jaiswal (57), Ravindra Jadeja (61) and Ravichandran Ashwin (56).
