R Ashwin started the third day of the first Test with a brilliant century on Friday morning to take India to 368 runs for the loss of 6 wickets against West Indies at Kolkata on Friday. India have taken a first innings lead of 158 runs against West Indies. This was Ashwin's second Test century. Rohit Sharma bundled up 150 runs in his dream debut.
Giving him company was all rounder R Ashwin, who stitched together a partnership of 198 runs for the seventh wicket to rescue India after the Indian batting line-up collapsed on the second day of the Test.
West Indies bowler Shane Shillingford wreaked havoc with a sensational four-wicket haul that included the ultimate prize of Sachin Tendulkar.
Shillingford (4/130) troubled the Indians with his accurate line and length but Tendulkar was very unlucky to be adjudged leg before by umpire Nigel Llong.
He undoubtedly beat the retiring-legend with a 'doosra' but the ball hit Tendulkar high on the back thigh and the TV replays suggested that the ball would have gone over the stumps.
Tendulkar (10) looked in good touch as he hit two magnificent boundaries before umpire cut short his stay at the crease. As he walked back, Tendulkar got a standing ovation from the crowd at Eden Gardens.
