India vs West Indies, Highlights, 1st Test, Day 4 at Antigua, Full Cricket Score: Windies bowled out for 100, crumble to 318-run loss

Ajinkya Rahane wins the Player of the Match award for his knocks of 81 and 102! 

Rahane: Feels really special, getting this hundred after 29 or 30 innings. We really needed a partnership going, and the partnership between me and Rahul was really crucial. Before this I played county games, and I thought that really helped me. I would like to dedicate this hundred to all those who backed me in those one or two years. First day of the game, the wicket was really damp, and West Indies bowled really well. We knew if we stayed there, runs would come automatically. Same in the second innings. We needed one good partnership. Plan was to just bat, bat and bat. 

BOWLED EM! Bumrah's showing amazing consistency at rattling the off-stump, this time hitting the base of the stump with a sharp yorker that nips away from the batsman in the last second. Holder was also beaten for pace here, and little answer to that peach of a delivery. And that completes Bumrah's five-for, his figures currently reading 7.2-2-7-5! WI 37/7

Holder b Bumrah 8(19)

OUT!

This is proving to be a frequent sight now. Bumrah's nonchalance as he takes wickets with remarkable ease. Pitches it around off and gets the ball to move just the hint away, beating the outside edge and disturbing the off-stump. Hope goes for 2 and Bumrah gets his fourth. 

OUT!

Ah not again! It's a poor shot from Hetmyer. Should have seen how Bravo was leaving the balls outside off. He can't though. Looks to play a drive on the up at a ball pitched outside off. The ball flies after taking the edge and Rahane pockets it at third slip. Hetmyer goes for 1. Second wicket for Ishant Sharma. 

OUT!

Now Ishant Sharma gets into the act. He pitches it full and straight, the ball seaming inwards in its flight. Shamarh Brooks gets late in bringing his bat down. He falls lbw and goes for 2. India don't want to take this to the fifth day it seems. 

OUT!

Bumrah is running through this West Indies lineup. He got the first couple of balls to angle in on the legs. The next couple were outside off and then! He pitches one at good-length, in line with the wicket and the ball nips inwards as Campbell is drawn into playing straight. He misses his shot and the ball rattles his stumps. Campbell goes for 7. 

OUT!

That was easy! Bumrah gets one to angle away and Brathwaite can't leave it alone. He goes fishing for it and hands an easy catch to Pant, falls for just one. Ideal start for India. 

OUT!

Vihari falls while playing not selfish but for the team's cause. It's not a good delivery from Holder, straying down the leg side but Vihari looks to pull and gets a glove on it, handing an easy catch to Shai Hope behind the stumps. He falls for 93. 

OUT!

Rishabh Pant falls for just 7 in his bid to accelerate. Gets down on his knees and looks to play a slog sweep over fine leg. He doesn't get the elevation and Keemo Paul slides in for a good catch. Virat Kohli signals from the dressing room for Vihari to bat on. No declaration from India yet. 

HUNDRED!

And he gets it! What a Test match for Rahane. 81 in the first innings and now a century in the second innings. He gets to his 10th Test hundred. More importantly, it's his first in two years and he can finally let his sceptics retire to oblivion. His contribution to the No 1 Test team in the world cannot be understated. 



 

HUNDRED PARTNERSHIP

Vihari takes a single on the leg side and brings up the 100 run partnership with Rahane just as lunch is called. India at 287-4 and will look to play aggressively after lunch. 

OUT!

Roston Chase does it again. Takes a wicket out of nowhere. Gives the ball some flight and pitches it at good length.Virat Kohli looks to flick it to the leg side but gets a leading edge and holes out to extra cover where John Campbell pockets it. Lucky break for the Windies here. Kohli departs for 51, India 187-4. 

Hello and welcome to Firstpost's LIVE blog for the fourth day of the first Test between West Indies and India.

The tourists find themselves in a commanding position at the start of the penultimate day of the Test, sitting on a hefty lead of 260 runs with middle order mainstay Virat Kohli and Ajinkya Rahane both still batting. The captain-vice-captain duo have notched their individual fifties and will look to solidify their position of strength.

The hosts require quick wickets to comeback in the match before it is too late. Kemar Roach has looked the best of the lot and the Windies will be hoping that he could provide few early wickets in the morning session.

Stay tuned as we build towards the start of play
