Match State: Day 1 start start scheduled for 10.05 local time (14.05 GMT)

       Welcome to the Kensington Oval, Bridgetown, Barbados for the third
        test in this rivetting Test series between India and West Indies
       Game one was ruled by the rain gods, game two was a see-saw battle
        lasting right uptil the last session on Day 5 with India winning
        by a slender margin of 37 runs
       To say India has underperformed at Bridgetown would be an
        understatement, having lost 6 out of their 7 Tests here, including
        failing to chase 120 on their last tour here in the fourth innings
       As usual there's been a fair amount of chaos in the composition of
        the Indian team
       Once again the focus has been on the opening batsman and not as
        much the composition of the bowling attack as who the spinner
        should be
       The West Indies selectors have also been doing their juggling act,
        Marlon Black has been eased out, Pedro Collins brought in
       Whether they go in with a four pronged pace attack as at Trinidad
        or with a 3 pace, 1 spin bowling attack is left to be seen and
        followed
       West Indies have brought back Ridley Jacobs, their reliable keeper,
        who was left out for the first two Tests
       This'd definitely bolster their batting because Junior Murray
        contributed just one run in his three innings in the first 2 Tests
       West Indies win the toss and decide to bowl first
       Ganguly feels happy as he says that he would have batted on winning
        the toss
       One change in both the teams - Jaffer comes in for Bangar
       Collins comes in for Black for the Windies
       There is another change in the West Indies team - Murray goes out
        and Jacobs comes in!

       Thats the end of a pathetic batting display by the Indians
       They have just managed to cross the three figure mark and end up
        with 102 with their skipper top scoring with a wonderful 48 and
        was given out quite unfortunately

Match State: Innings Break

       India started in a disappointing way losing Das to the very first
        ball of the Test and thies woes deepend when they kept losing
        wickets regularly
       tendulkar going back for a duck was deep trouble for India!
       Indians would be very disappointed with the 102 they have managed
        because the pitch was not such a bad pitch for batting
       It was just good bowling and bad batting that has contributed to
        this 102 all out
       The Indians would be hoping to skittle out the Windies too for a
        score as low as possible
       Stay with us for the LIVE action when Gayle and Williams will take
        strike to the Indian pace bowlers

Match State: Stumps - Day 1

       Thats the end of play on Day 1 here at Kensington Oval, Bridgetown,
        Barbados - we had just 46.1 overs for the day and 135 runs were
        scored losing 11 wickets
       Indians put up a dismal show getting all out for just 102 - Except
        for Ganguly (48), no one offered any resistance - Dillon was the
        pick of the bowlers with 4 for 41 from his 11 overs and Sanford
        picked 3 wickets
       Windies have replied with 33 for 1 off the 12.3 overs they got to
        face today - Zaheer Khan dismissed Stuart Williams
       Indians live up to their usual 'consistently inconsistent' tag -
        Indians would be hoping that their bowlers would deliver to make
        up for the pathetic batting display
       Play will start 30 minutes early tomorrow for all the time that was
        lost today - get back to us tomorrow for more LIVE action from
        Bridgetown at 1335 hrs GMT, 0935 local time, 1905 IST
       until then, its good bye from all of us here at CricInfo.com
