IND vs WI 2nd Test, Day 3 Live Updates:
It’s been an eventful morning session in the second Test between India and West Indies, as the Caribbean side collapsed to 209/8 within the first hour of play on Day 3. The Indian bowlers — led by Kuldeep Yadav and Mohammed Siraj — showcased remarkable discipline and aggression to seize control of the match.

Starting the day at a relatively steady position, the West Indies batting lineup looked to consolidate after early setbacks on Day 2. However, the new ball did the trick for India as Siraj produced sharp seam movement, dismissing key batsmen including Kraigg Brathwaite and Alick Athanaze. Meanwhile, Kuldeep Yadav’s variations from the other end kept the middle order guessing. His spell saw the downfall of Jason Holder and Joshua Da Silva, both undone by deceptive turn and flight.

By the end of the first hour, West Indies had slipped from 190/4 to 209/8, losing four crucial wickets in a short burst — effectively handing India a commanding position.

Match context:
India had earlier posted a strong first-innings total, powered by Yashasvi Jaiswal’s fluent 120 and Shubman Gill’s composed 85, helping them reach a score of over 400 runs. In response, the West Indies batters struggled against India’s quality spin attack, especially on a pitch that began offering variable bounce and sharp turn.

Top performers so far:

Kuldeep Yadav: 3/45 (showcasing his trademark wrist-spin mastery)

Mohammed Siraj: 2/28 (using reverse swing and tight lines)

Ravindra Jadeja: 1/50 (maintaining control from one end)

As lunch approaches, India are just two wickets away from wrapping up the West Indies innings. The session after lunch will be crucial as India decide whether to enforce the follow-on or bat again to build an insurmountable lead.

What’s next:
Fans can expect more fireworks as India’s bowlers look to finish the innings quickly. Stay tuned for live score updates, session-by-session analysis, and post-match highlights from Day 3 of the IND vs WI 2nd Test 2025.
