Rain frustrates India in Dominica

India were frustrated by the weather in the third Test in Dominica with only 19 balls bowled in the afternoon session before rain forced an early stumps with West Indies on 75/3.

The tourists headed into the encounter - the first Test ever staged at Windsor Park in Roseau - looking to seal a 2-0 series win and soon reaped the rewards of winning the toss and opting to bowl first.
The Windies were 35 for three in just the 17th over. Ishant Sharma claimed two wickets with Praveen Kumar snaring the other - the pair between them accounting for debutants Kieran Powell (three) and Kirk Edwards (six).
Shivnarine Chanderpaul, playing in his 133rd Test and passing Courtney Walsh as the Windies' most capped cricketer, helped steady the ship for the hosts, reaching 17 not out by the tea interval along with Darren Bravo (22 not out).
Powell, playing in favour of out-of-form Lendl Simmons, barely got comfortable at the crease before becoming the first Test wicket to fall at cricket's newest Test venue, caught by VVS Laxman at second slip off the bowling of Kumar.
Opening partner Adrian Barath followed soon after, bowled off an inside edge by Sharma for 12.
Edwards, who replaced Ramnaresh Sarwan in the line-up, became Sharma's second victim when he was caught behind by India captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni.
That left the hosts reeling on 35 for three but brought Bravo and Chanderpaul together in the middle, and the pair saw West Indies safely through to lunch - and then tea - with no further loss.
