India and West Indies are currently engaged in the second and final Test of the two-match series at Port of Spain in Trinidad & Tobago.

On the third day, West Indies resumed their innings at 86/1 in reply to India's 438, and lost their debutant Kirk McKenzie for 32 to another debutant, Mukesh Kumar before rain forced umpires to call for an early lunch break.

Kraigg Brathwaite batted patiently to defy the Indian bowling attack on a slow pitch, taking 170 deliveries to reach his 29th half-century and seemed set to add to his tally of 12 Test hundreds, before off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin produced some magic to get rid of him for 75.

Ashwin flighted the ball well outside off-stump and managed to breach the tight defence of Brathwaite to shatter his stumps and pick up his 487th wicket in the longest format.
