West Indies 1st Innings 107 for 1 (Brathwaite 53*) trail India 1st innings 353 (Ashwin 118, Saha 104, Rahul 50, Cummins 3-54, Joseph 3-69) by 246 runs
The St Lucia Test took a big step towards a draw with steady rain not allowing any play on the third day. The match had already gone at a slow pace on the first two days with 11 wickets falling for only 460 runs. There hadn’t been any weather interruption on the first two days; the slowness was down to disciplined West Indies bowling and a slow outfield.
West Indies were 107 for 1, trailing India’s 353 by 246 runs. With two days to go and an outfield slowed down further, chances of a result looked remote. India led the series 1-0 after the win in Antigua and draw in Jamaica.
