Bad weather played spoil-sport as West Indies reached 98 for five on the rain-hit second day of the second cricket Test at Bridgetown, Barbados. Indian paceman Ishant Sharma struck twice in three balls to reduce West Indies to 57 for five in the curtailed morning session after the hosts resumed at an uncomfortable 30 for three on Wednesday. However, several rain interruptions and some sensible batting by Samuels and Chanderpaul gave India no chance to make further inroads into the hosts' batting line up. The two batsmen added 41 runs for the unconquered sixth wicket and batted together for 19.3 overs on a day when only 25.3 overs of play was possible on the day.
