Persistent rain spoiled a good start by India in the first session of the fourth Test here on Thursday. Electing to bat, West Indies were 62/2 in 22 overs when heavy rain intervened just before lunch. Given their generally lackadaisical approach towards scoring throughout the series, West Indies might just take this start. Kraigg Brathwaite, by far their most assuring batsman in this series, was unbeaten on 32. He was partnered by Marlon Samuels, who has been copping a lot of criticism lately, on 10. India however would be disappointed they couldn’t add one more wicket to the tally. With the ball showing some lateral movement, Bhuvneshwar Kumar induced a slight edge off Brathwaite’s bat in the last ball of the third over. The ball flew to the left of Virat Kohli at second slip but he was probably a second late in reacting to the catch. Apart from that dropped catch, this was probably the first time West Indies had a relatively low key time facing spells with the new ball....
