West Indies needed to bat out 98 overs on the final day with only six wickets remaining to salvage a highly unlikely draw at Sabina Park. Their longest innings of the series before the final day of the second Test lasted 90.2 overs. However, against all odds, West Indies batted out the entire day, scoring 340 runs and losing just two wickets, one of which came by virtue of a poor umpiring decision.

Roston Chase was the star of the show as he batted through the day and scored an unbeaten 137 in the process. He was well-supported by local boy Jermaine Blackwood (62), wicketkeeper Shane Dowrich (74) and skipper Jason Holder (64 not out). India still lead the series 1-0 with two Tests to go.

Statistical highlights of the final day's play from Jamaica:

41 Balls taken by Jermaine Blackwood to reach his fifty in the second innings. Only Viv Richards scored a fifty off fewer balls against India in Tests, off 32 balls at the same venue in 1983. Blackwood's 47-ball fifty in the first innings is the third fastest among known instances.

1 Previous instance of a batsman having a hundred-plus strike rate in each innings of a Test before Jermaine Blackwood in this Test (minimum 50 runs in each innings). Virender Sehwag scored 55 off 46 and 55 balls respectively against West Indies in Delhi
