Watch: Ravi Ashwin's unplayable delivery to dismiss Kraigg Brathwaite

Ravi Ashwin dismissed WI Skipper Kraigg Brathwaite for 75 runs.

The second test between India and the West Indies in Trinidad has been posed pretty well, with the hosts showing some fight on Day 3. After India scored a tough score of 438 runs in the first innings, West Indian batters also played some useful knocks in the middle, and the hosts ended Day 3 at 229/5, the day that was interrupted by rain.

The West Indian skipper, Kraigg Brathwaite, led the fightback and played a captain's knock. He made 75 runs off 235 balls, with five fours and one six, before Ravi Ashwin dismissed him for a brilliant delivery. Every other batter also made a decent contribution. Though the West Indies are still trailing by 209 runs, they have almost avoided the follow-on.

West Indies started well with a 71-run opening stand between skipper and Tagenarine Chanderpaul. Ravindra Jadeja provided India with the first breakthrough, dismissing Chanderpaul for 35 runs. Brathwaite then added another 46 runs with Kirk McKenzie (32) for the second wicket. This time it was debutant Mukesh Kumar, who dismissed McKenzie to pick up his first wicket at the international level.

Later, the West Indies had another 40-run stand for the wicket before Ravi Ashwin came and dismissed the opposition skipper with a magical delivery. It was the fourth ball of the 73rd over. Ashwin bowled the ball just outside the off stump; the batter tried to defend it, but it turned and went through the bat and pad to hit the stumps, which ended the valiant knock for the West Indies captain.

Jermine Blackwood (20) also made a small contribution. At the end of the third day, Alick Athanaze (37) and Jason Holder (11) are batting at the crease. For India, Jadeja picked up two, while Ashwin, Mohammed Siraj and Mukesh took one wicket each. This is the last recognized pair batting for the hosts. If somehow India can take an early wicket on Day 4, they can run through the order.
