Despite a century by Kirk Edwards, West Indies were in trouble, as India reduced them to 224/6. One more day to go and anything can happen.
Chanderpaul and Kirk Edwards pulled the WI to respectability with a brilliant 161 run partnership. Chanderpaul is still there with 73 not out. WI were 40/3 at one stage and this partnership pulled them to a seemingly high score.
Edwards hit nine boundaries and a six during his glorious innings of 110. He was, however, out caught behind by Dhoni and then Samuels followed suit for a duck and the home team lost their fifth wicket.
WI suffered a jolt, when Darren Bravo tried to hit Bajji, but holed out to Praveen Kumar for 14. The Indian new ball bowlers, Ishant and Praveen struck early by removing the WI openers. Barath was scalped by Kumar and Powell was snapped by Sharma. Earlier Fidel Edwards grabbed his 10th five wicket haul in Tests, as India folded up for 347. India could only add 39 more runs to take a 143 run lead. Fidel Edwards took 5/103 and took three of the four Indian wickets that fell, including the prize scalp of Dhoni who was out for 74.
