West Indies dominated the third session as there was little Indian bowlers could do, However, Umesh Yadav struck in the 90th over and removed set-batsman Jason Holder, breaking the crucial partnership.
Roston Chase contninued his campaign despite wicket lossses and that helped West Indies settle for a good score with three wickets stil to go now.
The day, however, started with India dominating yet again, scalping three wickets with Windies just over 80 runs, on a pitch favourable to batsmen.
For West Indies, Roston Chase played a significant innings and took his team to a respectable mark.
Captain Jason Holder's return also bolstered spirit back into the team and he rose to the occasion, providing the much needed stability.

To West Indies' relief, Jason Holder returned to the side. Paceman Kemar Roach was not included in the second Test match.

The wicket has been helpful for the bowlers and India made the most of it. Shardul Thakur, who was playing his debut Test today, had to leave the field while he was bowling his second over due to injury.
West Indies showed some fight in the second session as they made runs with the bat and were just on the verge of touching 200-run mark. Chase remained the key batsman, scoring his 7th Test fifty. Dowrich looked good but departed as Umesh trapped him on an in-swinger.
Kuldeep Yadav shined with the ball yet again, picking 3 key wickets Umesh Yadav was just after him, picking Hope and Dowrich. Ashwin got Powell's wicket.
Kuldeep was difficult for the batsmen as they could not read his bowling and he continued to give them trouble. Umesh Yadav picked up wickets three wickets, he was the sole paceman for India after Shardul Thakur had to leave the field following an injury.
However, Windies looked patient and showed character. The batsmen initially faltered but then Holder's prescence and Chase's inning provided the much needed stability to the team.
Jadeja remained wicket-less today as the pitch was easy for the batsmen and his pace only helped batsmen.
india picked up three wickets in the second session and again, had things going their way while West Indies looked puzzled.
Overall, a good day with both teams putting a good fight. The second day would be interesting considering there are runs on the baord and India have a strong batting attack
