Rahane ton pushes lead past 300 on rain-hit day

Resuming on 358 for 5, India's overnight batsmen Wriddhiman Saha and Ajinkya Rahane added 67 more, stretching their sixth-wicket stand to 98  AFP
But Jason Holder struck at the stroke of lunch when he trapped Saha lbw with one that kept low and shot back in, for his first wicket of the series  Associated Press

For the second day in succession, India had made a cautious start as they added just 67 runs in 26.4 overs in the morning session  AFP
Rahane continued to hold his end up after the break as India made steady progress  Associated Press
Amit Mishra contributed with a useful 21 in a seventh-wicket stand of 33 with Rahane  AFP
After a rain break, offspinner Roston Chase accounted for Mishra and Mohammed Shami off successive deliveries even as Rahane neared his ton  AFP
Rahane, though, was a picture of calm, and with Umesh Yadav for company, farmed the strike before raising his seventh Test century with an edged boundary  Associated Press
Umesh played an entertaining knock of 19 off 14 balls before top-edging a slog to midwicket. With the total having touched 500, Virat Kohli called for the declaration  AFP
Umesh's dismissal gave Chase his maiden five-wicket haul, in his second Test. He ended with figures of 5 for 121  Associated Press
Thereafter, the rains came down again at Sabina Park. This time there was no respite as the last session was washed out and India ended the third day with a lead of 304  Associated Press
