Ravichandran Ashwin struck twice as India restricted West Indies to 76/2 at Stumps, on rain-hit Day 4 of their ongoing second Test match, in Port of Spain, on Sunday. Tagenarine Chanderpaul (24*) and Jermaine Blackwood (20*) remained unbeaten as West Indies need 289 runs to level the two-match series. Ashwin took the wickets of Kraigg Brathwaite (28) and Kirk McKenzie (0) in the final session. Meanwhile, Ishan Kishan smacked a half-century as India declared on 181/2 in their second innings. Kishan clobbered an unbeaten knock of 52 runs off 34 balls. 

Earlier, Rohit Sharma bagged a half-century in the first session, before losing his wicket to Shannon Gabriel. The India captain smacked 57 off 44 deliveries. A five-wicket haul by Mohammed Siraj helped India restrict West Indies to 255 in their first innings. In response to India's first innings total of 438, opener Brathwaite smacked 75 runs off 235 balls, but wasn't properly supported by his teammates.

Due to the heavy rain, the teams have also not left their hotels yet.

Still raining and it doesn't look good folks! it stopped in between, but resumed again!

We have some bad news as the rain is still there, but it has also got heavier once again!

It is still raining, although it is not a downpour anymore. But the match will take quite some time to start today!

If the India vs West Indies Test series ends in a draw, then four points will be shared between both teams in WTC.

The heavy rain has reduced to a drizzle right now, but the groundsmen haven't been called into action yet.

There is an official update that the start of play on Day 5 has been delayed. Also the teams haven't left their hotels yet.

"It is very very wet at the moment," says Ian Bishop on air. 

If we look at the conditions, it's raining currently and the covers are on.

The equation is simple. It's 289 runs vs 8 wickets, and going by the names (Ashwin and Jadeja) and what they can do on tracks assisting tweakers, India appear as clear favourites.

Let's hope that rain doesn't play spoilsport.

Alick Athanaze will look to dig deep and he showed his potential in the opening Test in Barbados. He scored 47 before getting out to Ashwin in that match. 

Since then Athanaze managed just 28 and 115-ball 37 in the first innings of the ongoing Test.
