Ishant takes five wickets to bowl out West Indies for 204
Tags:
Ishant Sharma cleaned up the tail for a five-wicket haul after Harbhajan Singh got to the 400-wicket mark as India bundled out the West Indies for 204 on the second day of the third and final Test here today.
Harbhajan became the third Indian and 11th overall to reach the landmark, while Ishant continued from where he had left off yesterday, as the duo hastened the West Indies ' collapse at the Windsor Park here.
Just as the West Indian innings folded up, a slight drizzle again brought the covers on, and an early tea was taken.
West Indies were in the middle of a revival of sorts when the gritty Harbhajan claimed two quick wickets.
Though Harbhajan achieved a milestone, the wrecker in chief was once again Ishant, who claimed five for 77 in yet another inspirational spell of fast bowling.
West Indies, 128 for five at lunch, began the afternoon session with a flurry of shots, to entertain a sparse crowd at the ground.
Carlton Baugh (60) was the aggressor as he flexed his arms to good effect, and no less than 37 runs came from the first four overs.
Baugh survived a caught-behind appeal off Munaf Patel but then decided to cut loose, crashing Ishant for three fours in one over.
He first produced a back cut, steered the next one over slips, and then crashed one past the extra cover boundary.
