India vs West Indies Live Score, 1st Test Day 3: That's game over! Kuldeep Yadav takes a caught and bowled to conclude a match that India completely dominated from the word go. Just one-way traffic right throughout. West Indies were never really in this contest, if we are being honest.

India vs West Indies Live Score, 1st Test Day 3: Deciding to have some fun before departing. Just swinging cleanly through the line to clear the boundary a couple of times now.

India vs West Indies Live Score, 1st Test Day 3: Jadeja unstoppable! Take a bow. West Indies trying to take the attack, and that means Layne just sends it straight into the air. Siraj catches it comfortably.

Six down and four wickets left to take.

India vs West Indies Live Score, 1st Test Day 3: Hit the helmet at some pace, that one. Athanaze a little sluggish to react, and his attempt to duck out of the way sees him duck right into the flight path of the bouncer. A little dazed as Bumrah goes up with a hand of apology to check on him, but the southpaw looks good to go after a concussion test.

India vs West Indies Live Score, 1st Test Day 3: Alick Athanaze has been impressive in this innings, looking pretty put together even as wickets have been falling. Justin Greaves continues his strong showing from the first innings, and is looking pretty confident himself.

India vs West Indies Live Score, 1st Test Day 3: Session starts with Jadeja acting as on-field captain in the skipper's temporary absence.

India vs West Indies Live Score, 1st Test Day 3: Welcome back for the second session. India will have realistic hopes of getting this wrapped up in this session, with only a couple of recognised batters in the tank.

India vs West Indies Live Score, 1st Test Day 3: Just a morning for the Windies to forget. Their top order has now collapsed royally in both innings. This time, it is Ravindra Jadeja who has done the damage with three wickets, helped out with some excellent catching. Siraj and Kuldeep also contributing.

Still 220 runs behind.

India vs West Indies Live Score, 1st Test Day 3: Batting falling apart for the second time in two innings for the Windies. It has been a mess so far.

India vs West Indies Live Score, 1st Test Day 3: Timber! Kuldeep Yadav is just too unplayable right now. This one doesn't turn, stays true with its line, and Chase is squared up. Nowhere close, and Kuldeep is on the board.

India vs West Indies Live Score, 1st Test Day 3: Third wicket down! India coasting. Good bowling by Jadeja, pulls the length back just a touch and draws a weak prod from King, and it goes to KL Rahul at first slip who takes a smart catch. 34/3 and India are on their way.

India vs West Indies Live Score, 1st Test Day 3: India ensuring that West Indies are really feeling the heat in Ahmedabad. Will want to chip away with another wicket or two before the lunch break.

India vs West Indies Live Score, 1st Test Day 3: Worked to perfection. Ball is still hard enough to find some bounce off the turf, and Campbell can't keep it down as he tries to turn it away onto the onside. Easy catch for Sudharsan at short leg.

24/2 now.

India vs West Indies Live Score, 1st Test Day 3: WHAT A CATCH! Short ball ploy early and it works. Chanderpaul tries to pull, gets it high on the bat, and Nitish has to cover a lot of ground at deep square. He shuttles to his left, puts in a dive, and gets both hands to it, grabbing on and holding on! Great fielding, and India are on the board.

India vs West Indies Live Score, 1st Test Day 3: So Bumrah not being made to bowl a long spell. Jadeja already. India like to employ spin early when it comes to a third or fourth innings.

India vs West Indies Live Score, 1st Test Day 3: A little scratchy, but first four. Siraj angles it across, Chanderpaul tries to punch it square. Thickish edge and he gets four. 12/0 after 6.

India vs West Indies Live Score, 1st Test Day 3: Leaving well and ensuring they only play from well inside the line. Batting for time and trying to see out the new ball. India will slowly start probing and getting this pair to play at it though.

India vs West Indies Live Score, 1st Test Day 3: Just not looking comfortable, is Tagenarine Chanderpaul. Bumrah trying to square him up, targeting a technical deficiency.

Siraj from the other end.

India vs West Indies Live Score, 1st Test Day 3: Here we go, with Jasprit Bumrah taking the first over and the West Indies' two lefty openers taking guard. 286 the ‘target’, but if West Indies want to avoid a loss, far more than that needed. They will have a decent day 3 track to bat on.

India vs West Indies Live Score, 1st Test Day 3: Just as we ask that question, we have our answer! A little bit of mental warfare here? India declare on their overnight score, it is confirmed. So they take a 286-run lead into the third innings, a fresh morning, and a bright red new ball. Trying to wrap it up today itself if they can help it, seems to be the gameplan.

India vs West Indies Live Updates, 1st Test Day 3: With the lead already at a good number and only likely to increase given the batting they have to spare, India will want to head out on Day 3 morning with a clear idea of how many runs or how many overs they want to play out. Having a certain number in mind will give the batters direction about how to bat and what they want to accomplish, but it is anybody’s guess: is the idea to keep going until the wickets fall, or do India want to reach 400 in their lead? Alternatively, do they want to ensure the West Indies spend two more sessions in the field? All valid approaches.

India vs West Indies Live Updates, 1st Test Day 3: Play will begin at 9:30 AM, and third day conditions might just start being a little more positive for the spinners. West Indies simply weren't able to move the needle in terms of creating pressure through the spinners, but if the shoe is on the other foot, you expect the likes of Jadeja and Kuldeep Yadav to find purchase as the pitch begins to tire. Whether cracks are beginning to open up in Ahmedabad will be interesting to see.

India vs West Indies Live Updates, 1st Test Day 3: And to heap on the misery for the Windies, the man they can expect to come in next is one who will employ all the tricks of T20 batting to get some runs on the board and fast. Nitish Reddy, during his young Test career, has shown plenty of capability as the man who can amp it up and play around with the field, using all of his crease and all parts of the ground. He is a tough man to bowl to when he is in the mood, and he will back himself to help India approach a 400-run lead and ensure they definitely only have to bat once.
