Pitch: 4
Toss: West Indies A
Sent in on a Green pitch, India A were all out for 247 in their first innings, the 4 West Indies A pace bowlers sharing the wickets.
West Indies A replied strongly, mainly through a brilliant 237 to opener Stuart Williams, who almost carried his bat in scoring more than half the visitors eventual total of 444.
With a lead of 197 and plenty of time left, West Indies A looked poised for victory, but rain, bad light, and a century to a young Rahul Dravid saved the home side.
The draw leaves India A with a 1-0 lead in the series with the final match in Bangalore to come.
