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

the cover fielder
0.2 Srinath to Hinds, no run

Match State: Stumps - Day 1
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
other two batsmen missed out on hundreds
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
The players are in the middle, we are all ready for the start of
day two

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

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

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

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
