West Indies set India 180 to win third Test

ROSEAU : Part-time off-spinner Suresh Raina claimed the last two West Indies wickets, leaving India to chase 180 for vic

Raina finished with 2-32 from 15.3 overs as West Indies were bowled out for 322 in their second innings 45 minutes before tea on the last day of the inaugural Test at Windsor Park.

Shivnarine Chanderpaul ended with the top score for West Indies on an undefeated 116, his 23rd Test hundred, making the occasion of his record 133rd appearance extra special.

He added a valuable 65 for the ninth wicket with Fidel Edwards, whose 30 was a career-best.

But Raina had Edwards caught at long-off following a near three-hour long act of resistance, and in his following over, brought the curtain down on the West Indies' defiance, when he had Devendra Bishoo caught at slip for one.

India hold a 1-0 lead in the three Test series, following a 63-run victory inside four days in the first Test in Jamaica, and a draw in the second Test at Barbados.

The visitors are looking to wrap up their second straight Test series victory over West Indies in the Caribbean.

They are also looking to create a piece of history by becoming the first Indian side to win a Test and One-day International series in the Caribbean.
