Monday, 2 September 2019 08:36

India are poised to win their second Test against the West Indies in Jamaica.

After setting the hosts 468 to win, they reduced them to 45 for 2 at the end of the third day's play.

Earlier in the day, India decided not to enforce the follow-on after bowling out the Windies for just 117.

Instead, they batted again, scoring 168 for 4 before declaring in their second innings.

The tourists have a 1-0 lead in the two-match series after easily winning the first match last week.

Day four gets underway at 5:30 pm UAE time.
