Statistical highlights on day 4 of the third Test between India and West Indies in Gros Islet.
A devastating spell of swing bowling by Bhuvneshwar Kumar put India in command on the fourth day of the third test against West Indies in St Lucia on Friday. Kumar ripped through the middle order and tail, moving the second new ball both ways through the air and off the seam to pick up five wickets at the Darren Sammy Stadium in Gros Islet.

# Kumar's only other five-wicket haul is 5 for 82 vs England at Nottingham in July 2014. As compared to his wicket-aggregate of 25 wickets (ave. 28.28) in seven overseas Tests, Kumar has claimed only 9 wickets (ave. 37.88) in six home Tests.
# Kumar's superb figures are the best by any bowler in Tests at Gros Islet, eclipsing Kemar Roach's 5 for 42 for West Indies vs Bangladesh in September 2014.
# Virat Kohli (3 & 4) has managed just 7 runs in the Gros Islet Test - his joint-lowest match aggregate when he batted in both the innings of a Test match. In the 2014 Old Trafford Test against England, he had made 7 (0 & 7).
# Kohli's aggregate of seven runs is the third lowest by an Indian number three batsman while batting in both the innings, in the Caribbean - the first two being Gulabrai Ramchand (0 & 2) at Georgetown in March 1953 and Ravi Shastri (5 & 0) at Kingston in April/May 1989
# Kohli is averaging just 19.40 in six innings as number three batsman - his aggregate being 97 runs in six innings without a fifty.
# Rohit Sharma has registered three sixes during his unbeaten 41 off 57 balls - a feat recorded by him for the first time in a Test innings outside the subcontinent. On two previous occasions in a Test innings, he posted three sixes - vs West Indies at Mumbai in November 2013 and vs Sri Lanka at Colombo (PSS) in August 2015.
# Since registering 50 vs Sri Lanka at Colombo (SSC) in August/September 2015, the above innings is Rohit's highest in six outings in Tests.
# West Indies' last six wickets have recorded just 23 runs - their second lowest in a home Test. Against Australia at Port of Spain in 1998-99, they had added only 18 runs.
# Three stands of 50-plus have been recorded for the first four wickets for West Indies, - the last instance for them in a Test match vs India in the West Indies being in the 2002 St. John's Test.
