Lead by an excellent century under pressure to a young Rahul Dravid, his first in the Unofficial Test series, India A escaped with the draw.
They were also aided by bad light and rain, and some consistent batting by the middle order after the openers had again failed.
Gray took 4 wickets to finish with 8 for the match, but received little support, and West Indies A would feel disappointed to let such an opportunity slip.
Man of the Match was Stuart Williams, his 237 having lit up the match, featuring brilliant shot making and aggressive intent.
