Match State: Day 1 start scheduled for 10.05 local time (15.05 GMT/20.35 IST)

       Good Morning and Welcome to Sabina Park, Jamaica
       Well, this is the "Big Match" as they call it, the series is level
        at 1-1 and both the teams have everything to play for
       So far in the series it has been the batsmen who have dominated the
        game, Shivnarine Chanderpaul (445), Carl Hooper (556), VVS Laxman
        (386), Rahul Dravid (369) have been in top form throughout the
        series
       The bowlers have had a tough tour so far, Mervyn Dillon (17
        wickets), Cameron Cuffy (13 wickets),  Adam Sanford (11 wickets)
        and Zaheer Khan (10 wickets) have been the most successful of the
        lot so far
       The news is that the pitch has lot of live grass on it, and with
        Brian Charles Lara and Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar due for big scores
        this will be a thriller
       The news from the middle is that Ganguly has won the toss and
        elected to field
       Indians have made one change, Harbhajan Singh replaces the injured
        Anil Kumble and the West Indians go in with the same team
       Srinath will start the bowling attack, coming over the wicket to
        Chris Gayle
   0.1 Srinath to Gayle, one run, pitched up on the off, played wide of
        the cover fielder
   0.2 Srinath to Hinds, no run
   0.3 Srinath to Hinds, no run, short pitched on the middle, Hinds gets
        behind the delivery and defends it
   0.4 Srinath to Hinds, no run, on the off and angling away on the off,
        no shot offered
   0.5 Srinath to Hinds, no run, pitched up wide of the off stump, left
        alone
   0.6 Srinath to Hinds, one run, pitched up on the off, pushed to the mid

   1.2 Nehra to Hinds, no run, nips into the left hander, off bat and pad,
        falls far away from the short-leg fielder
   1.3 Nehra to Hinds, no run, prodigious movement and bounce, just a
        little too far outside off stump and so Hinds couldn't be bothered
        fishing at that
   1.4 Nehra to Hinds, FOUR, good ball, pitched up, hint of late outswing,
        thick outside edge and runs down past the packed slip-gully cordon

        defended

        stump, Ratra takes it well over his head

   4.1 Srinath to Gayle, no run, defends, not in full control, ball goes

   5.1 Nehra to Hinds, no run, outside off, left alone

        legside though, there's a bit of bounce which results in the ball
        thudding into the thigh pad
   8.2 Srinath to Hinds, no run, well forward, defends
   8.3 Srinath to Hinds, no run, exaggerated movement again, from outside
        off and swinging further away, not full enough to entice the drive

        through midwicket
   8.5 Srinath to Hinds, no run, better ball, Srinath still going

        though
   9.2 Nehra to Gayle, no run, better line from Nehra, hits the batsman on
        the pad but it is a half hearted appeal, ball definitely going

   9.3 Nehra to Gayle, no run, once again, lack of discipline, way outside
        off, Gayle just happy to see it go past him

       Good Morning and welcome to Sabina Park, Jamaica for the live
        coverage of the second days play
       We saw some superb batting display yesterday from Gayle, Hinds and
        Sarwarn
       Hinds went on to make it count and scored a superb century when the

       The Indian bowling was nothing more than ordinary, with the seamers
        not in control, it is ironic that Harbhajan Singh was the only
        bowler who seemed to trouble the batsmen in this pitch which the
        gurus called "a fast bowlers heaven"
       Hooper and Chanderpaul are together again!
       Will they carry on to make huge scores as usual or will the Indian
        bowlers come back and make it a day to remember?
       We have an early start today to compensate for the time lost
        yesterday due to bad light

Match State: Stumps - Day 2

       Hello and welcome to Sabina park, Jamaica for CricInfo's live
        coverage of the 3rd day's play
       Some inspired bowling by the Indians saw to it that the West Indies
        were all out for 422 yesterday
       Harbhajan Singh was at his best, taking 5 for 138 from 38 overs,
        his first five-wicket haul overseas!
       Hooper(17) fell early yesterday adding just three runs to his
        overnight score
       Then came Jacobs! bowling to him was more dangerous than walking
        blind folded across a highway, he dispatched the ball to all the
        parts of the park and once he was out the "Turbanator" ran through
        the tail
       Chanderapaul played yet another characteristic innings
       The West Indian seamers came to bowl and suddenly the pitch became
        a good bowling track, there was swing, bounce ...
       Dillon bowled superbly and got a couple of early wickets
       Das and Tendulkar then put up a decent partnership which came to an
        end when Tendulkar played a nothing shot outside the off stump and
        got an inside edge on to the stumps
       India need another 82 runs to avoid follow-on
       The third day's play will be crucial, it will decide which way this
        match goes
       Will the remaining Indian batsmen take India to safety or will the
        West Indian bowlers set up a victory platform?
       For all the answers stay with us. Ball-by-ball, live and right
        there when the action happens
       The players are out in the middle
       Dillon will start the bowling attack, coming over the wicket to the
        right hander

Match State: Stumps - Day 3

       Hello and welcome to Sabina park, Jamaica for CricInfo's live
        coverage of the 4th days play
       What a day of cricket we had yesterday! A total of 13 wickets fell
        in an action packed day
       Dillon bowled superbly yesterday adding yet another five-wicket
        haul to his bag
       The Indians were all out 212 still needing 11 runs to avoid follow-
        on, Laxman was once again the pick of the batsmen, he remained not
        out at 65 when the Indian innings ended.
       Hooper decided not to enforce the follow-on, and then what happened
        in the middle was pure entertainment
       The Indian bowlers were at their best especially Srinath (2
        wickets) and Zaheer Khan (3 wickets), they completely destroyed
        the West Indian top order, Lara was back in his touch till he
        played a rash shot and was bowled of an inside edge
       Chanderpaul once again came to the rescue and took the total to 165
        for 7 at the ends of the third day's play
       West Indies now have a healthy lead of 375 runs with 3 wickets
        remaining
       With two more days to go, this match is heading for a thrilling
        end, stay with CricInfo for all the live drama
       Play is about to begin, early of course, because all overs were not
        completed in time yesterday

        covers, strangley, Collins wants a single but is sent back, good

  54.6 Srinath to Chanderpaul, no run, full and straight, Chanderpaul
        drives forcefully to the on side, straight to mid on and no chance

        next over, this is what India want

       has to go
       Very difficult to give the lbw when you have a left arm seamer
        bowling over the wicket to the right hander. With the ball angling
        past the batsman it is unlikely to hit the stumps if the ball is
        pitched anywhere but outside the leg stump.
       Das might consider himself unlucky, but it's all part of the game
        you must say.

       the light is offered to the Indian batsmen and they accept it
        gratefully
       Hello and welcome to Sabina park, Jamaica for CricInfo's live
        coverage of the 5th day's play
       there has been overnight rain at Jamaica, even though it is not
        raining now the covers are out in the middle
       408 batting last on this wicket was always going to be a tough ask,
        and the Indian batting crumbled, the bowling was superb and the
        pressure was too much for them to handle
       Collins and Sanford were at their best, taking three wickets apiece
       After the openers were back in the dressing room, Dravid and
        Tendulkar came together and put up a decent partnership but once
        both of them were out then it was just a case of when and how...
       West Indies are on the verge of a magnificent series win, they just
        need three more wickets. India on the other hand require another
        171 runs for victory, you can decide for yourself which is more
        likely to happen
       but "Cricket is a game of glorious uncertainties" and miracles have
        happened before, no match is won or lost till the last run or
        wicket is taken
       Whichever way this match goes, we have a bit of action left, and if
        you don't want to miss the action when it happens, stay with
        CricInfo for live coverage of the final day's play.
       it has started drizzling again, the covers stay on and the news is
        that we will have a delayed start
