Sawt Falasteen - Five-wicket Kuldeep runs through West Indies, India enforce follow-on

The tourists resumed on day three at 140-4 and their innings ended in the second session 270 runs adrift of India's first innings 518-5 declared.

West Indies lost regular wickets and were in deep trouble at 175-8, but Khary Pierre and Anderson Phillip, who hit 24 not out, put on a stubborn stand of 46 to steer their team through to lunch.

Jasprit Bumrah bowled the left-handed Pierre for 23 in the first over after lunch but Phillip and Jayden Seales further frustrated the bowlers.

Kuldeep, a left-arm wrist spinner, finally trapped Seales lbw for 13 for his fifth five-wicket haul in his 15th Test.

He bowled the first over of the day and struck inside 30 minutes as he bowled Shai Hope for 36, the batsman adding just five to his overnight score.

Tevin Imlach was the next to go when Kuldeep had him given out lbw for 21, a decision that was reviewed but the ball was shown to be hitting leg stump.

Justin Greaves also fell lbw to Kuldeep for 17 and Jomel Warrican was bowled by Mohammed Siraj for one.

India won the first Test in Ahmedabad by an innings and 140 runs.
