Rain dampened proceedings on the third day as no play was possible. With West Indies nicely placed at 107/1, the task for them is simple. They must hang in with the bat and ensure they do not give wickets away to the likes of R Ashwin, Mohammed Shami and Ishant Sharma.

For Kohli, he will be seeking quick wickets if India are to force a result. Will Ashwin get turn to trouble the West Indies batsmen or will the fast bowlers exploit the conditions? A couple of quick wickets could result in a collapse, handing the advantage back to India.
