IMO not sure if India should bat on for more than another 75 runs. If they can get them in another 10-15 overs, that'll give enough time even with rain interruptions if WI show resistance like they did yesterday. Have 4.5 sessions to bowl at them. India want full points from this series - if WI somehow miraculously chase down 350, well done to them.

Holder was the bowler. Kirk

If we knew you wanted some we could have shipped it over from Manchester.

 

[Saket1209]

If we knew you wanted some we could have shipped it over from Manchester.

Please do the needful. It will help the cause in both the series. But I think the match is drawn in Manchester
