Rapid eye movement: 38 ReportThe set put India in the motorist’s seat, in spite of a rain-interrupted session Yashasvi Jaiswal played his shots early on as India searched for fast runs – AFP/Getty Images Tea India 438 and 118 for 2 (Rohit 57, Gill 10 *, Kishan 8 * Gabriel 1-11) lead West Indies 255 (Brathwaite 75, Siraj 5-60, Mukesh 2-48) by 301 pursue Mohammed Siraj made easy work of West Indies’ lower order with the 2nd brand-new ball, Rohit Sharma and Yashasvi Jaiswal led India’s success push by rattling off 98 together from simply 71 balls. Rohit and Jaiswal fell either side of lunch on a rain-hit day, however India’s lead had actually passed 300 by the time tea was taken. India required less than 8 overs – and less than an hour – on the 4th early morning to dismiss West Indies for 255 from an over night 229 for 5. Siraj, the leader of India’s unskilled rate attack, measured up to his billing and returned career-best figures of 5 for 60 in tough conditions.
