India on course

Last night's play in the ongoing Test match between West Indies and India was predictable.

Rahul Dravid quickly gathered the five runs he needed for his 23rd Test century, and Mohammad Kaif made his maiden Test century before finishing on his highest First Class score of 148 not out.

India declared with the score on 588 as they wanted to give themselves a good session at the West Indies. Again, when faced with mammoth first innings score, West Indies collapsed. Daren Ganga, Ramnaresh Sarwan and Brian Lara were all out cheaply before the close of play. All hope will rest with Chris Gayle, Shiv Chanderpaul and Dwayne Bravo to get the West Indies past the follow on mark of 388, a difficult task from the perils of 65 for 3.
