India vs West Indies 1st Test Day 3 Highlights: Ashwin's 12-wicket match-haul helps IND maul WI by innings and 141 runs

"Every run you score for the country is important. I would like to start by saying it was a great effort with the ball. Getting them out for 150 set the game for us. We knew batting would get tough, it wasn't easy to score runs. We knew we wanted to bat only once and bat long. Get over 400 runs and then came out and bowled really well."

"Before I start, want to thank the Dominica crowd. (Toss) Didn't think it spun a lot early on. We just let ourselves down with the bat. First innings total was just not good enough. (What disappointed?) That I didn't get any runs. As a leader, I need to lead from the front and get runs. In the first innings, a few dismissals were not good for us. We lost a wicket before lunch. We lost certain situations. Senior guys have to lead the way. (Batting against champion bowlers) It is tough. It is having the balance and playing the shot in the right way, whether to defend or sweep. I think we didn't execute the shots we were trying. Even today we had some defensive dismissals. We have to use the bat more instead of our pads. Will help us in these conditions. (Athanaze, on debut) He had a good start. You could see that he belongs. Bowling, he had to do a job because we lost Cornwall for four hours. His future is bright. Has a strong mind."

"I spoke to Dravid sir a lot, and he gave me confidence. I want to thank the selectors and Rohit bhai for showing faith and allowing me to express. (Emotions...) What I have been working for... I'm just thinking of preparing well and focus on my discipline and process. (Playing Test for India) A special moment. I used to think about playing for my country when I was young. Emotional moment for me but this is just the start. (Personalities who contributed to his early success...) A lot of people have helped me in this journey. I want to thank each and everyone, of course the senior players. The way I was talking with Rohit bhai and Virat bhaiya, I was learning a lot."

 Well, its only fitting that Ashwin takes the final wicket. He dismisses Warrican to pick his seventh wicket in the innings and 12th in the Test match as India beat West Indies by an innings and 141 runs in Dominica

Just when West Indies though thry could take it to Day 4, Ashwin struck twice in one over dismissing Cornwall and Kemar Roach to take his 35th five-wicket haul and 11 wickets in this Test match.

The plan was set. The fielder was placed. Joseph finds the deep-midwicket boundary as Ashwin gets his 4th wicket in the 2nd innings. He now has 9 wickets in the match. West Indies slip further and now are in deep, deep trouble

Jason Holder pulls off a six against Ashwin as West Indies huff and puff their way to the 100-run mark. They still stand 171 runs away from the mark, the exact score that Yashasvi Jaiswal scored in his international debut. 

Jaiswal takes his first Test catch and helps complete Ashwin's third wicket in the 2nd innings. West Indies now lose Athanaze as the visitors go six down for 78. New batter for West Indies is Alzarri Jospeh

12 more overs left for the day. West Indies might just have survived the day, but have an improbable task ahead with 193 runs to chase and avoid an innings defeat. Jason Holder and Alick Athanaze are their last batting hope.

The plan to go back to Siraj pays off. He just took three deliveries to stike. He dismisses Da Silva. No review this time from West Indies as they go 5 down. The ball had kept low and Da Silva couldn't do much as it struck plumb on his pads in line with middle and off

After an array of overs from the spinners who picked up two wickets each to sent West Indies four down for 58, Rohit Sharma goes back to Siraj. A chance for the pacer to inflict further damage.

After Ashwin, Jadeja strikes now. Another appeal, umpires sides with India. Reifer opts to a review. Three reds and West Indies lose another review.

WI 150 & 32/4, trail by 239 runs vs India

Ashwin strikes again! There is loud appeal and umpire says it is OUT! Blackwood straightaway opts for a review. Nothing on UltraEdge. Pitching outside off, impact in line - OUT it is. Jermaine Blackwood is out for just five. 

WI 150 & 32/3, trail by 239 runs

It is time for the last and final session of thye day. Blackwood and Reifer make their way out to the middle. Jadeja begins the proceedings. West Indies are 244 runs away with 27 for now 

Blackwood survives. Well, that is what is has been for the West Indies batters. Jadeja and Ashwin have struck early in the session and West Indies are down to 27 for two. The hosts trail by 244. 

‘The champion bowler strikes again’ - says the commentator as Ashwin removes Kraigg Brathwaite for 7 off 47. This is the second time he has dismissed the Windies captain in this match. Length ball, takes the edge and Rahane grabs it comfortable.

West Indies 150 & 22/2, trail by 249 runs.

Short from Ashwin but Raymon Reifer goes down on his knees to play a half swat half pull for four much to the delight for the crowd as the recieve the boundary with a thunderous roar. WI 21/1 after 14 overs, trail India by 250 runs.

/There you have it! Ravindra Jadeja lands the first blow as Tagnerine Chanderpaul is out LBW. Bowling round the wicket, Jadeja's impact was in line but Tagnerine went upstairs to challenge the decision nonetheless. WI kept the review but couldn't keep the wicket intact. West Indies 8/1 after 10 overs.

Just after 4 overs of pace, India have turned to spin as Ravindra Jadeja and Ravichandran Ashwin have been unleashed. Plenty of turn available already even as Chanderpaul has helped himself to the first boundary of the West Indies innings. Here we go. The cat-and-mouse game begins.

It really felt as it Ravichandran Ashwin was going to open the innings with the ball for India, but perhaps Rohit Sharma is saving him for a long spell. Fow now, it's Mohammed Siraj and Jaydev Unadkat who have started off with some really tidy overs. Kraigg Brathwaite and Tagnerine Chanderpaul cautious as WI are 3/0 after 4 overs. 

The declaration has arrived. India have called off their first innings on 471/5, after Ishan Kishan got off the mark in Test cricket. In between overs, a box of fresh red balls was sent to the Indian dressing room and Rohit Sharma was seen in whites. He was probably waiting for Ishan to score his first runs, and once he did, Kishan and Jadeja walked off. So there you have it! West Indies need to score 271 runs to ensure they make India bat again.

Young Ishan Kishan, playing his debut Test, has faced 19 balls but is yet to get off the mark. Cornwall keeping him on his toes. Remember, this is the same Ishan Kishan who scored the fastest ODI double century in December last year.

Unbelievable! Not once, but Virat Kohli has now been put down twice. First on 40 yesterday and now on 72. A straightforward chance put down by Joshua de Silva. Kohli goes after a cover drive to a widish ball from Kemar Roach but a diving de Silva spills it going for the catch with one hand. It was a straightforward catch heading to Cornwall at first slips but de Silva made a mess of it. Roach is not happy, and why would be be? You can't afford to drop Kohli, let alone twice in the same innings.

Here we go! In all likelihood, this could and should be India's final session of batting. Another 100 runs here and they should put the West Indies in for a second time in this Test. With some ball keeping low and most turning, Ravi Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja would be smacking their lips.

Despite losing 2 wickets in the session, India go into the lunch interval strongly placed at 400/4. More importantly, their lead over West Indies has extended to 250. Virat Kohli unbeaten on 72, aided handsomely by Ravindra Jadeja as the two have added 44 runs off 77 balls. Kohli has finally switched gears getting three boundaries in no time after the first twon spanned over 147 balls. Meanwhile, Jadeja us doing Jadeja things moving to 21 with a four and a six.
