But Ishant Sharma had him edging a short one to MS Dhoni•AFP

Ishant cleaned up the tail to end with another five-for taking his series tally to 21 wickets as Windies were dismissed for 204. India could play only four overs before rain ruled out any further play for the day•AFP

Munaf Patel removed Shivnarine Chanderpaul soon after the start, picking up his first Test wicket in over two years•AFP

Carlton Baugh ensured Windies weren't bogged down and launched a counterattack•AFP

Baugh continued to hit boundaries at will and reached his fifty off 52 deliveries•AFP

Praveen Kumar eventually got Samuels to chop onto his stumps, leaving West Indies in a lot of bother at 99 for 5•AFP

As Bravo brought up an unruffled fifty, it seemed that Windies were getting back on track•AFP
