India, West Indies share first session honours

Kingston, Aug 1 (IBNS): A dogged display of fast bowling from the Caribbean bowlers paid off as they broke an important partnership by removing Wriddhiman Saha at the nick of lunch, therefore sharing honours with the the Indian team, who have extended their lead to a substantial number, here on Monday, day three of the second Test match of the four match series.

At lunch, the Indian batsmen have put on 425 runs for the loss of six wickets, by virtue of which they are ahead by 229 runs.

Wriddhiman Saha departed for 47 runs, though Ajinkya Rahane is unbeaten at 72 runs and will look forward to score his seventh century.

The Caribbean bowlers gave away just the 67 runs in the morning session of play as they troubled the batsmen frequently.

Jason Holder, the West Indies skipper bowled a long and tight spell and stuck gold, as he trapped Saha in front, to pick his maiden wicket of the series.
