Indies skipper Brain Lara said
It was a Herculean effort by our bowlers on such a pitch. They have set the game very well as we wanted it.
Local boy Jerome Taylor appearing his 10th test claimed five wickets for 50 runs to put the visitors in deep neck trouble after they decided to bat first winning the toss.
Skipper Rahul Dravid was the only batsman to lead the visitors challenge with his watchful 81runs from 215 balls. David's knock rescued Team India to some extend because they were struggling to breath losing six top batsmen in 91 runs. Anil Kumble managed to score 45 runs pairing with Dravid.
Riding on the bowler's superb performances, the Indies seems to be determined to score a mammoth total for first innings lead.
