After the end of second day, West Indies scored 98 for the loss of five wickets. Shivnarine Chanderpaul and Marlon Samuels are still not out on 20 and 21 respectively.

Ishant Sharma is the most successful bowler who took three wickets apiece. Other two wickets were taken by Praveen Kumar and Abhimanyu Mithun.
Indian bowlers got advantage because of early-morning showers. It added extra moist on the pitch. So, West Indian batsmen had to struggle hard to play in this condition.
Indian bowlers will have to take the remaining wickets as early as possible if they want to give some lead to the opponent in the first innings.
