Since bad light stopped play West Indies are 34 for 2 with both openers dismissed, trailing India by 597.It looks extremely murky at Eden Gardens. India's spinners were able to spin the ball rather sharply off the pitch, Ashwin in particular.
India started really well today morning but Yuvraj Singh scratched around for his 25, and Kemar Roach produced two edges off an aggressive Dhoni's bat by the time he had reached 16. Before Carlton Baugh could catch them, though, the umpire's call of "no-ball" resonated.
VVS Laxman loves this ground Eden Gardens batted on unaffected, by tea reaching 1209 runs in Kolkata, at an average of 109.9. Resuming on an overnight 73, he didn't have to reach out for runs.VVS Laxman and MS Dhoni led India's push towards a declaration with a 217-run partnership reminiscent of their 259-run association at the same venue last year.
