0.0 : Hello and welcome to the 3rd Test match between the West Indies and India at the Darren Sammy National Cricket Stadium, Gros Islet, St Lucia. |
Just under half an hour to the start of play now, and we can tell you that Jason Holder won the toss for the West Indies and has chosen to bowl first. |
India have made three changes from the previous Test match in Jamaica. Rohit Sharma, Ravindra Jadeja and Bhuvneshwar Kumar come into the team, with Pujara, Mishra and Yadav missing out. |
For the West Indies, Alzarri Joseph comes in to make his Test debut, Bishoo being left out. And Chandrika is replaced by Leon Johnson at the top of the order. |
West Indies pulled off a miraculous draw in the last Test to keep themselves in the series, and will hope to take momentum into this match. India still remain heavy favourites though, and rightfully so as they have dominated the series so far. |
Stay tuned for the start of play in just a few minutes time. |

Hello and welcome to Day 2 of this 3rd Test between the West Indies and India. Play is set to resume in about 10 minutes time with India well positioned on 234,/5 with Ashwin and Saha putting on 108 runs so far for the 6th wicket. |
That concludes our coverage of today's play, thanks for joining us and see you again tomorrow for Day 2. |
Ashwin has been the stand out performer today with his knock of 75. Well supported by Saha and Rahul at the top of the order. The highlight for the West Indies was the debut performance of Azarri Joseph, picking up the big wickets of Kohli and Sharma. |
That concludes Day 1 with India on 234./5 It has been a grinding day for both batsmen and bowlers on a slowish surface and outfield, India will probably be the happier of the two teams after a strong finish not losing a wicket in the evening session. |
Joseph to open the bowling this morning, Ashwin will be on strike. End of over: IND 234/5 (Ashwin 75, Saha 46)

Not a good news for cricket lovers that it has started raining again and covers are on. Stay tuned for the next update. |
We may have a delay start today. |
We had a heavy shower in the morning at St Lucia but at present rain has stopped and covers are off the ground. |
Their prime objective was to get off to a good start and they have succeeded in that. Now comes the consolidation part. |
West Indies will be buoyed with their performance in the second innings of Kingston Test and it is showing in their performance. Even though the runs came at snail's pace yesterday, West Indies will not be too concerned about this. |
West Indies, however, will need to maintain the same intensity today. Ideally they would like to bat only once, make a large total and put India under pressure. This is easier said than done though. |
Even though two Indian batsmen scored hundreds yesterday, the day belonged to the hosts. First they dismissed India for 353 after the visitors were strongly placed at 5/339 and then ended the day at 1./107 |
Hello and welcome to the live coverage of the day three of the third Test between West Indies and India. |
That's it for today then, cheers for joining us and see you again tomorrow for Day 3 at Saint Lucia. Bye for now. |
Earlier it was Ashwin and Saha with a double century stand that propelled India to their total of 353. West Indies fought back with some quick wickets to prevent the total from getting out of control, and we now have a very interesting game on our hands. |
Stumps on Day 2 and this match is evenly poised, with the West Indies providing strong resistance with the bat to be 107/1 at the close of play. Brathwaite and Johnson put on a good opening stand of 59 and Bravo has also played well since coming in. |
Dark clouds all over the ground and It is heavily overcast. Ground staff is on with super sopper and other equipments but drizzling is still on. Stay tuned for further updates. |
Still there is no improvement, means more wait for us, stay tuned for the updates |
Rain has eased out but ground is under the cover of dark clouds |
outfield is very wet on various spots but luckily square is well protected |
It is raining again, so more delay in start of play on Day-3 |
it is raining continuously and seems no chance of relief for another one hour. chances of start of game seems after lunch only |
Morning Session of Day 3 has already been washed out eventually and its time for Lunch officially |
stay tuned for the updates, hope for the start of play soon |
Welcome back but the news from centre is not in favour of the game. It’s drizzling steadily, spoiling the hopes for the play at present. Stay tuned for the further updates. |
It has started heavily now, means more wait for us. |
Still raining at St Lucia and chances of play are fading off. Too much water in the ground, super sopper is on but outfield is wet enough. |
The play for the day has been called off keeping in view the weather conditions. |
Revised playing hours for today : 10.00 AM to 12.15 PM, 12.55 PM to 3.10 PM, 3.30 to 5.30 PM. |
The game will start at 10.00 AM local time. |
Both the umpires are having an inspection of the outfield. |
Outfield is soggy enough, super sopper is on for that. Umpires will have a look at 9.15 local time. |
“Similar condition of the pitch and may behave as earlier.†Says Dujon. |
West Indies are still trailing by 246 runs and it will not be easy on the slower out field. |
Yesterday, the whole day washed out without a ball being bowled due to heavy rain. Today it’s bright sunshine since morning and we may have a full 98.0 overs game. |
Hello and welcome back for the live coverage of the fourth day of the third Test between West Indies and India at St Lucia. |
Hoping that we will have a full day game tomorrow, we take your leave. Join us tomorrow, till then good bye and take care. |

India well placed at the stage with a comfortable lead of 285 runs with 7 wickets in hands. It will be interesting to know when the declaration comes. |
Hello and welcome back for the live coverage of the last day of the third Test between West Indies and India. |
That’s all for the day. Hoping that you enjoyed the coverage, we take your leave. Do join us tomorrow, till then it’s good bye and take care. |
But one thing is sure that if weather allows, it will be an exciting and interesting last day of the Test. |
There will be a 98.0 overs game tomorrow and India may bat for 15.0 overs to make the lead more than 300 runs. |
India are in a commanding position at this stage leading by 285 runs with 7 wickets in hands. West Indies bowled well to get three top batsmen at 72 but the unbeaten partnership of 85 runs between Rahane and Rohit put them on the front. |
Brathwaite to Rahane, no run, turned well and played well by Rahane and that's the Stumps on day-4.. |
All is set here at St Lucia. Umpires are going in the middle followed by West Indies Team and Indian batsmen Rahane and Rohit End of over: IND 157/3 (RG Sharma 41, Rahane 51)
