Jaiswal, who resumed his knock on 173, could add only two runs before being run-out in the second over of the day. Gill, resuming from 20 off 67 balls, was more proactive than his time at the crease on Friday, and brought out a flurry of wonderful shots to bring up his fifty off 95 balls.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Nitish Kumar Reddy, promoted up the order, looked promising and was dropped on 20, but failed to capitalise on promotion to number five, falling for 43. With Gill and Dhruv Jurel (seven not out) at the crease, India will aim to breach 500-run mark and pile more misery on West Indies.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The day began with a heartbreak for India as Jaiswal\u2019s bid for a third Test double hundred ended in a weird run-out. After driving a full ball to mid-off, Jaiswal took off for a quick single, but Gill had said no to that call. But by then, Tagenarine Chanderpaul fired a direct hit to the keeper\u2019s end, and though Jaiswal made a desperate turn after being more than halfway down the pitch, keeper Tevin Imlach disturbed the stumps swiftly.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Reddy, promoted with an aim by the Indian team management to get some game time, survived a close lbw call on the second ball he faced off Jayden Seales, before square driving off him for four.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Reddy had some luck again when he went hard on a drive and went just past second slip for four, even as Gill found boundaries easily via flicks, drives, and slashes, before bringing up his fifty with a superbly timed flick through mid-wicket for four off Seales.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Luck was yet again on Reddy\u2019s side when Philip dropped his catch at mid-off off Jomel Warrican\u2019s bowling, giving him a reprieve on 20. Reddy made up for his previous attempts of not going big against spinners by launching Warrican for two sixes and a four.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
A calm Gill got huge cheers from a handy crowd by leaning into a half-volley from Greaves and driving through wide of mid-off for four, before thrashing him through the gap at extra cover for another boundary.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
