India on top in first Test as West indies follow on

West Indies ended day three of the first Test in deep trouble as India's seam bowlers forced them to follow on.

Umesh Yadav and Mohammed Shami shared eight wickets tin Antigua to help dismiss the home side for 243 in their first innings, 323 behind India's huge total.

And by the close Kraigg Brathwaite, who top-scored with 74 at the first time of asking, had been dismisssed for the second time in the day as West Indies closed on 21-1.

Brathwaite's stubbornness was a rare highlight on a poor day for the hosts, who began on 31-1 and lost nightwatchman Devendra Bishoo in the morning.

Amit Mishra's leg spin did for Bishoo, but the second of his two wickets would not come until the end of the innings as India's quicks did the damage.

Shami had Darren Bravo and Marlon Samuels caught at the wicket and then got rid of Jermaine Blackwood, West Indies slumping from 90-2 to 92-5 either side of lunch.

Brathwaite was seventh out with the score on 144 having taken 218 balls for his 74, Yadav removing the opener on his way to 4-41.

Shane Dowrich and Jason Holder shared the innings' highest stand of 69 to spare their side an even bigger deficit, skipper Holder clearing the ropes once on his way to a quick 36 and Dowrich finishing unbeaten on 57 - his second Test half-century.

Ishant Sharma was the one Indian seamer to miss out first time round, but he trapped Brathwaite in front in the first over of the second innings as India tightened their grip on the first of four matches.
