India finished say two at 107 for one after bowling out the visitors for 353 in their first innings.
West Indies' pacer Miguel Cummins has said that his side is not getting ahead of their current position in the third Test against India, and will take each day as it comes.
The hosts finished say two at 107 for one after bowling out the visitors for 353 in their first innings. "We have got to take each day one at a time, and to build on our position," said Cummins after the day's play. "I can't give you any guarantee but hopefully we'll stick to our plans and come out victorious."
India recovered from a precarious 130/5 thanks to centuries from R Aswhin and Wriddhiman Saha, who put on 213 runs for the sixth wicket. "We did a very good job of getting their top order. They are a very talented batting line-up but we stuck to our plans. But we can't take anything away from Ashwin and Saha, as they batted very well. We had to keep fighting when they had the partnership," he said.
"The plan was not to bowl short but mix it up. Ashwin normally sits on the back foot, and a lot of guys sit on the back foot. So our plan was to get some balls up and let them drive and then use the short pitch stuff," he added. Cummins went wicket-less in his maiden Test in Jamaica, and bowled 281 deliveries before picking up his first wicket in international cricket, that of Ravindra Jadeja. Thereafter he picked three quick wickets in a 10-ball burst to finish off India's innings and hand his side the advantage once again.
"For me, the debut Test was very tough. Because, I was playing for the first time so nerves took in. I was fighting a long way, fighting hard, hard, hard. Then I came yesterday and saw the guys take wickets but didn't let that fluster me. I tried looking for wickets but my job was to build pressure," he said.
"We've our two fast bowlers and me being the third. They had their bursts and then it was time for me to hit my line and be consistent and to keep the pressure up for those who came to bowl next, even the spinners so they can take wickets," Cummins concluded.
