Blackwood dealt in a flurry of boundaries as he took the fight back to the Indian bowlers. Shami was at the receiving end of Blackwood's blitz as the batsman scored two fours off the right-arm seamer in the 18th over before hitting two fours and a six in his following over as India conceded 40 runs in 4.1 overs in the morning session on day five.

Kohli immediately decided to remove Shami off the attack and introduced Ishant Sharma and Umesh Yadav in tandem. The pacers were tidy, but they didn't trouble the West Indian batsmen much as the hosts closed in on the 100-run mark.

Rain played spoilsport on day four as only 15.5 overs were possible during the day. However, it was time enough for the visitors to prise out the West Indian top-four in the limited time available between several rain breaks. Tropical storm Earl's devastation though is only limited to the fourth day as sunny conditions are in store for both teams when they take the field on the fifth and final day of the second Test in Kingston, Jamaica.

West Indies start day five at 48 for 4, still 256 runs behind. Jermaine Blackwood was the batsman who was unbeaten overnight and West Indies will be hoping the he along with the rest of the middle-order batsmen, put up a defiant show and keep the Indian bowlers at bay for as long as possible. For India, Mohammed Shami was the star on day four, coming up with a testing spell and going on to pick up two wickets. He will be expected to make further inroads and wrap things up as quickly as possible.
