We will be back with live commentary of the third Test, which starts on August 9 at St. Lucia. Till then, it is a goodbye from us.

03:21 (IST)4 AUG 2016

Roston Chase is the Man of the Match: "It is a great feeling, helped team to draw the match, along with the wickets, it was a nice Test match for me. It is my aim to be a genuine all-rounder. The captain asked the players to show some fight, we just fought out well."

03:19 (IST)4 AUG 2016

Virat Kohli: "Testing day for us, but it is what Test cricket is all about. Yesterday the conditions were good, but could not enough play. But no excuses, kudos to the West Indies, Chase, Shane and Jason himself. We beat them, but in the end, they batted well. The pitch was lively on the first four days, but it not very quick today. The first session we were attacking because we were ahead by almost 200 runs, Pleased with the bowling effort, but West Indies batted really well. I do not walk away from the field, hoping for a fifth bowler, you have to take off your hat to the opposition if they played well. Rahane has scored most of his runs outside the subcontinent, and Rahul came to the party as well"

03:14 (IST)4 AUG 2016

Jason Holder: " Massive improvement from the guys, really enjoyed it. We asked the guys to show fight, very good partnership between Blackwood and Roston and then with Dowrich, wanted to play over by over. It is about showing character, I had to put up my hand and exercise patience. It was very tough and the bowlers stuck to their task, and I felt I had to step on and not give anything away. The batting was outstanding, asked the guys to show character, more so by Roston, who is only in his second test. Means a lot that the Jamaican crowd supported us. Just want the guys to be patient and work harder going into the next match. Also, we have to show fight."

India must be kicking themselves for letting go of a golden opportunity to get a 2-0 lead for the first time in a Test series in the Caribbean, after being in a commanding position for most part of the match, barring the final day. The credit goes to Roston Chase who, playing only his second Test, scored a magnificent century to thwart the visitors’ attempts to force out a win. 

Chase was supported by Shane Dowrich, and later Jason Holder, as the Indian bowlers became more and more ineffective, even after operating with the new ball. 

India’s charge was halted by the rains on day 4 after the pacers had reduced the visitors to 48-4. The weather break proved to be a blessing for the Windies batsmen, who came back determined, and applied and adapted themselves better to the conditions. The deficit reduced, diminished, and then turned into lead, as Kohli & co were left scratching their heads. 

Although a result couldn’t be achieved, it will serve as a morale booster for the hosts who had failed to put up a sustained fight throughout the series.
