Just when it seems that play is set to start, rain arrives and when it seems that the play is not possible, it stops, giving way to a clear sky. For now, there is no rain!
- 22:44 (IST)IND vs WI, 2nd Test, Day 5 Live: Rain returns!Here is som bad news, folks! The rain has returned. However, currently there is a slight drizzle but enough to make the groundsmen cover the pitch. By this time the players would have walked to the middle, but rain has affected the play again.

The first session is likely to be washed out as we might have an early Lunch at Queen's Park Oval. West Indies batters might not complain, but the Indian bowlers must be getting irritated with the delay.
- 19:56 (IST)IND vs WI, 2nd Test, Day 5 Live: Mukesh talks about maiden Test wicket!Maiden Test wicket for any bowler is special but how about celebrating it with a prominent star like Virat Kohli on the field.

It felt great," told Mukesh on taking his maiden Test wicket. Read more
- 19:22 (IST)IND vs WI, 2nd Test, Day 5 Live: Rain increases India's problems!The more it rains today, the tougher it becomes for India as they will be having lesser time to bowl to West Indies. The way the pitch has performed so far and the rain has interrupted the final day, it seems that the Indian bowlers have their task cut out.
- 19:15 (IST)IND vs WI, 2nd Test, Day 5 Live: Teams yet to arrive!It is interesting to note that both the teams are still in their hotels. The way it is raining at the Queen's Park Oval currently, the resumption of the match anytime soon seems like a dream. Let's hope, we get a good amount of play today. Keep your fingers crossed guys!
- 19:03 (IST)IND vs WI, 2nd Test, Day 5 Live: Rain delays start!Here is a bad news to the start of the day. They play was set to kick off half an hour early today, but rain has delayed that start.

- 18:52 (IST)IND vs WI, 2nd Test, Day 5 Live: Siraj also in focus!Mohammed Siraj had registered a five-wicket haul in the first innings of West Indies. He had picked only one wicket on Day 3 but the following day saw him wreaking havoc with four wickets. India must be hoping a similar show from the right-arm pacer at the start of play on Day 5.
- 18:43 (IST)IND vs WI, 2nd Test, Day 5 Live: Remarkable feat for Ashwin!Ravichandran Ashwin is second on the list of the Indian bowlers with most Test wickets against West Indies. He has 75 scalps to his name. Kapil Dev is first with 89 dismissals to his name. Anil Kumble follows Ashwin with 74 wickets.
- 18:37 (IST)IND vs WI, 2nd Test, Day 5 Live: How is the new ball doing?The new ball that India picked at the start of the West Indies innings did provide some swing to the pacers and assisted Ravichandran Ashwin later, but it still could not do such wonders as the second new ball taken by India during the first innings of West Indies did.
- 18:33 (IST)IND vs WI, 2nd Test, Day 5 Live: A look at stats!With two wickets on Day 4, Ravichandran Ashwin surpassed Harbhajan Singh to become the Indian bowlers with second highest wickets in international cricket (including wickets taken for Asia XI).

- 18:24 (IST)IND vs WI, 2nd Test, Day 5 Live: West Indies eye a solid start!The pair of Tagenarine Chanderpaul and Jermaine Blackwood has already added 32 runs off 72 balls. If the duo could keep Indian bowlers at bay at the start of the first session, West Indies can some serious chance in this tough chase of 365 against India.
- 18:16 (IST)IND vs WI, 2nd Test, Day 5 Live: Eyes on Ravichandran Ashwin!Everyone is aware of how dangerous Ravichandran Ashwin could be in the fourth innings with the ball in hand. To add to West Indies' problems, the spinner was getting some help from the surface on Sunday after Windies started their chase. He has already picked two wickets and will be the centre of attraction on the final day.
- 18:07 (IST)IND vs WI, 2nd Test, Day 5 Live: What happened on Day 4?Rain had its fair share yet we saw some good amount of play on Day 4. India bundled out West Indies for 255, taking a 183-run lead before Rohit Sharma and Yashasvi Jaiswal started all guns blazing. The skipper hit a fiery fifty which was followed by a power-packed half-century from Ishan Kishan. India declared their second innings at 181 for 2, setting a target of 365 before Ravichandran Ashwin reasserted the guests' dominance with twin strikes. Check highlights HERE
