On the third day of the Jamaica cricket test, Rahul Dravid scored a resilient 112, as he took Team India to a respectable 252 against the West Indies in the second innings at Sabina Park yesterday. It was Dravid's 32nd Test ton which helped the visitors set a victory target of 326. At the start of play, India were 91 for 3 with Dravid and Virat Kohli at the crease. But wickets started to tumble quickly with India's middle and lower order surrendering before the fearsome West Indian bowling of Paceman Darren Sammy and Spinner Devendra Bishoo. Both bagged 4 wickets each. But it was Dravid who kept his cool and yet again emerged as an astute player in this format of the game.At stumps, West Indies were in a strong position at 131 for 3 with Shivnarine Chanderpaul and Darren Bravo at the crease. An intriguing battle is on cards as the match is expected to be decided on the fourth day itself with West Indies requiring 195 runs and visitors needing another seven wickets.
