West Indies batsmen continue to make merry

Lunch West Indies 378 for 3 (Bravo 105*, Powell 38*) v India

 

Darren Bravo made his third century in four Tests as West Indies' young batting line-up continued to make light of the loss of their most experienced batsmen to hurt India on the second morning at the Wankhede Stadium. Ishant Sharma gave India their lone success by removing Kirk Edwards, but the new batsman Kieron Powell kept the runs coming with an array of drives down the ground.

The first session of the second day was the most productive yet for West Indies, yielding 111 runs as their batsmen went for their shots. The tone was set by Bravo, who caressed the first two deliveries of the session between the bowler and mid-off for four.
