Match Status:-
India 281 for 3 (Dravid 82, Tendulkar 67*, Gambhir 55) trail West Indies 590 (Bravo 166, Edwards 86, Powell 81, Ashwin 5-156) by 309 runs
For the third day in a row, the batsmen had an easy time at the Wankhede Stadium. Several of India's batting heavyweights helped themselves to half-centuries as the home side got halfway to West Indies' 590. Gautam Gambhir and Rahul Dravid didn't make it to triple figures, but Sachin Tendulkar was well on his way towards reaching the most talked-about milestone of the year.
A typically quick start followed from India's openers: Virender Sehwag routinely scything the ball through cover, and Gambhir poking the ball either side of point for runs. Gambhir was a touch loose to start with - chasing and missing several wide deliveries and surviving an early lbw appeal off Fidel Edwards - before getting more fluent.
