India out for 171, West Indies need 269 to win

Kingston, Jamaica, July 2 (UNI) India was bowled out for 171, setting West Indies a target of 269 to win on the third day of the last test match here at Sabina Park.

Correy Collymore cleaned five Indian wickets including that of skipper Rahul Dravid as India added 41 runs in the morning. With enough time left in the match, India needed as many runs as possible.

Dravid and Kumble defended well for the first thirty minutes.

The batsmen were tested by excellent seam bowling by Collymore who looked like taking wicket every ball. Collymore struck when he had Kumble caught at slips for 10.

Harbhajan hit a well timed cover drive for four off Collymore.

The bowler responded with a beauty that took Harbhajan's edge but flew past slip cordon to raise India's 150 in the second innings.

Dravid was finally foxed by Collymore and pitch combination.

Collymore's leg cutter lied very low and cleaned Dravid's stumps to send back the Indian skipper for 68. Harbhajan and Sreesanth batted with clear instructions to throw their bats around.

Sreesanth dealt some heavy blows, hitting Taylor for a huge six over long on and taking Collymore to the third-man boundary for four. Sreesanth jumped out of his crease to hit Taylor through the mid wicket region once more in the next over but didn't manage to negotiate the steep bounce and offered a simple catch to Lara for 16.

Collymore sent Harbhajan back next over for 9 to end the Indian second innings for 171.
