Pitch: 1
Toss: West Indies A
West Indies A's first innings was ruined by a superb spell of swing bowling by Subroto Banerjee, who took 6-52, and clean bowled 5 batsmen with swinging deliveries in some of the best bowling of the tour.
Though opener Stuart Williams hit 4 sixes in an entertaining 45, the visitors found themselves all out for 188 in their 1st innings and in danger of defeat.
Half centuries to allrounders Robin Singh and Chetan Sharma gave the home side a 29 run lead, before rain on Day 2 forced a declaration.
West Indies A's second innings featured some of their best batting on tour, as an unbeaten 100* to Dave Joseph, and 76* not out to Keith Arthurton lead the way to a late declaration.
With no time for left for a result, Kris Srikkanth and Sanjay Manjrekar gained some useful batting practice before the match was eventually Drawn.
Man of the Match was home side seamer Subroto Banerjee, for his superb first day swing bowling.
