India V/S West Indies, Third Test, Day 2 Stumps

India v/s West Indies Test match enters in to the new phase since all the top six batsman got to the half century including Darren Bravo's century. Darren Bravo began Day 2 for the West Indies with two sweetly timed shots to the boundary.
Indian Bowlers didn't get wickets since the pitch isn't offering them too much assistance.

Ishant Sharma got the vital breakthrough - picking up Kirk Edwards wicket when West Indies score was at 314 runs.Kirk Edwards made 86 runs before he get out to Ishant. That hasn't brought much relief to the Indian bowlers though. Kieran Powell has picked up from where Edwards left off and Darren Bravo has made his way to his 3rd Test century - and his second consecutive one.
That brought in Powell, who started shakily - getting knocked on the back of his helmet by Ishant on his first delivery. That didn't faze the 21-year-old, though, and he showed off his footwork against spin, dishing out a boundary an over. Powell initially dominated his partnership with the well-set Bravo, making his intentions clear early on by charging and lofting offspinner R Ashwin over his head, a stroke he repeated several times against the spinners.

Darren Bravo and Powell manged to build a huge partenership of 166 runs before Powell Get out to his personal score of 81 in the bowling of Ojha.
That strike sparked a rare period of Indian dominance, with five wickets going down for 48 runs. Aaron and R Ashwin did the damage for India in that spell, during which Samuels unleashed some eye-catching drives to reach his half-century. An awaited declaration didn't come on the day, and neither could India bowl out West Indies, which meant Virender Sehwag and Gautam Gambhir didn't have to bat after spending almost two entire days in the field.
