This was Yadav's second wicket this innings. Jayden Seales c and b Kuldeep Yadav 22(12)This Test has been all about India, the batters in KL Rahul, Dhruv Jurel, and Ravindra Jadeja slammed hundreds respectively in the first innings, helping the home side gain a massive lead. West Indies barely showcased any resistance as Jadeja, Siraj, and Yadav claimed wickets across both innings to see the visitors bundled out for 162 and 146, respectively, handing India an innings and 140-run win, thus taking a 1-0 lead in the two-match series. 

OUT! Ravindra Jadeja comes into the attack, and stops the party for West Indies batters in the middle as hosts lose their ninth wicket. Johann Layne looked to throw his bat and ended up handing a simple catch to Mohammed Siraj at mid-off after making an entertaining 14 off 13. Johann Layne c Siraj b Ravindra Jadeja 14(13)

After taking three quick wickets, the West Indies have been able to stop the bleeding, where Johann Layne and Khary Pierre have managed to get boundaries at will. With nothing to lose, as the West Indies stare down another loss, both batters are enjoying their time in the middle, hitting fours every over. 

OUT! Second wicket for the over for Mohammed Siraj, and this is the third of the innings. Jomel Warrican wanted to hit his way out of the situation by taking on the bowler. However, the bat flies out of Warrican's hand as the ball ends up reaching the fielder at mid-off. Jomel Warrican c Gill b Mohammed Siraj 0(2)

OUT! Two in Two for India as Mohammed Siraj traps Justin Greaves for a leg-before wicket, who lasted 52 balls for 25. The field was set for a short-ball, but Siraj bowled a fuller length, which almost ended up yorking the batter, who opted for a DRS but failed to get the decision overturned. 

OUT! Washington Sundar finally gets his man, as Alick Athanaze's defiance comes to an halt after 74 balls. Athanaze looked to work the ball on the leg-side, but closed the bat too early, which saw the ball take a leading edge and a simple return catch to Sundar. Athanaze and Justin Greaves added 46 runs for the sixth wicket. Athanaze c and b Washington Sundar 38(74)

This has been a solid show of defiance from West Indies' batters Alick Athanaze and Justin Greaves, who have managed to play out a disciplined spell by Washington Sundar and Jasprit Bumrah. The duo have added 43 runs off 67 balls, where both batters have contributed equally. India's lead has been cut down to under 200.

Welcome back for the post-lunch session on Day 3 of IND vs WI 1st Test 2025, which should be the final two hours of play in this match, given how West Indies have batted this far this session. India will continue to bowl their spinners and will be eager to wrap up the Test.  Justin Greaves and Alick Athanaze will look to defy odds and occupy the middle as long as possible. 

LUNCH! This was the final over before lunch on Day 3, with India completely dominating the first session of the ongoing IND vs WI 1st Test 2025. Ravindra Jadeja was the star performer with the ball, claiming three wickets, while Kuldeep Yadav and Mohammed Siraj picked one wicket apiece. For the West Indies, Alick Athanaze and Justin Greaves will look to defy the inevitable as long as possible. 

OUT! And the procession continues as Shai Hope too departs after scoring a 14-ball 1 as Ravindra Jadeja gets his third wicket of the day. A shortish delivery by Jadeja forced Hope into playing a false shot, which unfortunately for the batter found extra purchase from the track, which lobbed into the fielder's direction as Yashasvi Jaiswal completes a simple catch. Shai Hope c Jaiswal b Ravindra Jadeja 1(14)
