The bowlers forced the Windies top order batsmen to surrender tamely with Zaheer Khan trapping stand-in captain Kieran Powell leg before for six, while Dhawal Kulkarni clean
bowled Leon Johnson for one.



Right-arm medium fast Ishwar Pandey claimed the prized wicket of Kraigg Brathwaite leg before for 21. The right-hand batsman had been a thorn in the flesh for the hosts with two half centuries and a century in the series.

Narsingh Deonaraine and Assad Fudadin were batting on 44 and 36, respectively, when the stumps were drawn. The duo had put on an unbeaten 59 runs together for the fourth wicket.

With just a day left in the match, India A will look to push for victory by making best use of morning conditions on the final day tomorrow.

Captain Pujara, who became only the second Indian after Ravindra Jadeja to score three triple hundreds, would be expecting Zaheer, Abhishek Nayar and Kulkarni to come good and help India A level the three-match series 1-1
