Windies get the better of 17-wicket day

West Indies 304 (Chanderpaul 118, Brathwaite 63, Ojha 6-72, Ashwin 3-81) and 21 for 2 (K Edwards 15*, F Edwards 0*) lead India 209 (Sehwag 55, Dravid 54, Sammy 3-35) by 116 runs

Half-centuries by Virender Sehwag and Rahul Dravid could not prevent a swift conclusion to India's first innings on the second day of the first Test against the West Indies in Delhi.
After seeing off the Windies' tail earlier in the day, India were at the crease for just two full sessions before being bowled out for 209, giving the West Indies a 95-run first-innings advantage.
West Indies skipper Darren Sammy led a balanced attack with three wickets as the tourists moved firmly into the driving seat.
India appeared to be making good progress with the bat early on as Sehwag and fellow opener Gautam Gambhir snaffled 29 runs from the first three overs.
But the tourists settled to their task to dismiss both openers inside three overs, before the likes of Sachin Tendulkar, VVS Laxman and Mahendra Singh Dhoni also fell cheaply.
Sehwag and Gambhir looked in good touch early on, smashing away a glut of boundaries on their way to an 89-run partnership before Gambhir was run out for a run-a-ball 41 in unfortunate circumstances.
Gambhir was removed at the non-striker's end after Sehwag sent a straight drive back down the track and Sammy got fingertips on the ball, diverting it into the stumps with the batsman well out of his crease.
Sehwag's exit for 55 was all about the quick thinking of Windies wicketkeeper Carlton Baugh, who whipped off the bails when Sehwag momentarily lifted his back foot.
India still looked in a strong position at 100 for two, but when Tendulkar was removed for just seven, trapped lbw by Fidel Edwards, and Laxman was out for one when Baugh took the catch off an edge from Devendra Bishoo, their position began to look increasingly perilous.
Yuvraj Singh blasted two sixes and two fours in a 23-run cameo before he became Sammy's first victim after tea, while India skipper Dhoni went in the same over, bowled off the pads by his opposite number for a duck.
Ravichandran Ashwin also went for nought, edging Sammy to Baugh, while Ishant Sharma's 17-run effort was brought to an end by Marlon Samuels, Baugh again pouching the chance behind the wicket.
India's last real hope went when Dravid was dismissed for 54 - his 61st Test half-century - when Sammy took the catch at short square leg off Ravi Rampaul.
Umesh Yadav was the last man out as Pragyan Ojha ended unbeaten on three.
Earlier, Ojha took his tally of wickets to six as the Windies were dismissed for 304.
The tourists resumed on 256 for five but lost their last five wickets for just 35 runs - four of them leg-before decisions.
Three of the scalps went to slow left-arm bowler Ojha, who finished with figures of six for 72 from 34.2 overs.
Ojha started the tumble of wickets today when he trapped Baugh lbw for 27, ending a 69-run partnership for the sixth wicket with Shivnarine Chanderpaul.
Sammy was the next man out, lbw for five, having contributed 12 runs to a stand which moved the West Indies score on to 281.
And, with no further addition to the total, Chanderpaul's impressive contribution ended on 118. Having added just seven to his overnight score, he was trapped lbw by Sharma, making it 281 for eight.
Rampaul and Edwards took the Windies score beyond 300 - but Rampaul (12) was the next to fall when he became Ashwin's third scalp of the innings, another lbw victim to spin.

And the West Indies effort with the bat ended soon after when Edwards went forward to a full delivery from Ojha but sliced the ball to Sehwag at point
