Ashwin bowls magic delivery to dismiss Brathwaite as West Indies crawl to 174/3 at tea

Port of Spain, Jul 22 (PTI) Ravichandran Ashwin produced the delivery of the series to breach a dogged Kraigg Brathwaite's defence as West Indies crawled to 174 for 3 at tea against India on the third day of the second Test, here on Saturday.

West Indies skipper Brathwaite (75 off 235 balls) used his enormous powers of concentration to frustrate the Indian attack on an insipid track before world's No. 1 Test bowler held the centre stage with a magical moment that brought the smiles back in Indian camp.

The track on offer here is a poor advertisement for Test cricket and if it gets any rating other than 'Average' from ICC that will be a real surprise.
