Rain arrives after Yadav’s early strike

ST JOHN’S, Antigua: Like Ishant Sharma in the first over of the second innings, Umesh Yadav struck in the first over of the fourth day but that remained the only damage India could inflict in a session truncated by rain and early lunch was taken here on Sunday.

India lost 15 minutes to the weather, but they were left more frustrated by a contentious call to rule Marlon Samuels not out on a low catch at the wicket.

Rajendra Chandrika was more sedate, almost like Kraigg Brathwaite in the first innings, and survived 84 balls for 22 runs without any drama.

The day began with Darren Bravo repeating his first-innings dismissal, only this time he flirted with a short delivery angling away from him from over the wicket.
