The weather gods gave West Indies a lifeline in their quest to avoid defeat in Sabina Park when rain washed out the final session of Day 3 in Kingston, Jamaica on Monday.

India built a first-innings lead of 304 runs before captain Virat Kohli declared at 500 for nine just before tea as light rain fell at Sabina Park.

But the showers persisted and the India bowlers did not get a chance to have a crack at the West Indies top order.

Play is scheduled to resume 30 minutes early on Tuesday, but the forecast is for more rain, with a tropical wave heading towards the island.

Ajinkya Rahane scored his seventh Test century, and the third in four innings, compiling an unbeaten 108 off 237 balls. He made 127 and 100 not out against South Africa in Delhi in December.

It's now up to the Indian bowlers to complete the West Indian annihilation.
