Lunch West Indies 117 for 2 (Brathwaite 49*, Mukesh 1-11) trail India 438 by 321 runs

Mukesh, who kept plugging away outside off, got his first Test wicket – and 150th first-class wicket – when he had McKenzie wafting behind. It is perhaps for this accuracy and discipline that India had picked Mukesh ahead of Navdeep Saini after Shardul Thakur had been sidelined from this Test with a groin niggle.

McKenzie’s innings was short but sweet. After having launched R Ashwin over mid-off for six late on day two, McKenzie unfurled more eye-catching strokes on Saturday. He punched left-arm seamer Jaydev Unadkat for back-to-back fours, which might have done his hero and fellow Jamaican Chris Gayle proud.

It forced Unadkat to dig the ball into the pitch, but McKenzie was ready to pull him on the back foot for four more. Mukesh then broke through for India, after which the rain arrived in Port-of-Spain.
