India 'A' bowlers, inspired by Akshay Darekar's six-wicket haul, were again spot on as they bundled out the hosts for 204 but chasing 220, the visiting batsmen were all at sea against pacer Delorn Johnson, who grabbed all the four Indian scalps.

Skipper Cheteshwar Pujara, who has been the rescuer for India on more than one occasion in the ongoing series, was among the four victims of Johnson, making just one run in the second innings.

India's hopes of saving the match or chasing down the target now rest on the off-colour duo of Manoj Tiwary (15) and Rohit Sharma (8) who were at the crease when the stumps were drawn for the day.

Earlier, Darekar was the wrecker-in-chief for India 'A' as he snared six host wickets to single-handedly dismantle their innings.

For the Caribbeans, Jonathan Carter (74) and Donovan Pagon (67) were the only batsmen to make noteworthy contributions in an ordinary batting performance.
