Blackwood&#39;s explosive knock composed of nine fours and two sixes.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Since then young stumper Shane Dowrich (33 not out) joined Chase in the middle and the right-handed duo managed to keep the Indian bowlers at bay. Their unbeaten sixth wicket stand produced 74 runs as the hosts added 167 runs in the first session.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Earlier on Tuesday, only a little less than 16 overs could be bowled as incessant rains forced an early close of play with the visitors on the driver&#39;s seat needing just six wickets to win the second Test.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>India, in their first innings declared on 500\/9 after bundling out the hosts for a paltry 196.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>India lead the four-match series 1-0 after winning the first match at Antigua by an innings and 92 runs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Brief Scores: West Indies 196 &amp; 215\/5 (Roston Chase 70 not out, Jermaine Blackwood 63, Shane Dowrich 33 not out, Mohammed Shami 2\/53) vs India 500\/9 declared.<\/p>\r\n",
