At lunch, in chase of the record 475 needed for victory, the Windies were 316/5, still 159 runs away, and having lost the wickets of Bravo and Chanderpaul. After it appeared that Chanderpaul and Bravo would have batted through to lunch, both fell in quick succession about 20 minutes from the interval. Chanderpaul and Bravo had taken the score to 303/3 with Bravo making an attacking 69. After taking 3 sixes off Beau Casson, Bravo however, went on the front foot and pushed a Casson delivery low into the hands of short cover. The next over, Stuart Clark had Chanderpaul lbw to a delivery that hit in line but was too high to hit the wicket. The umpire adjudged it close enough and gave Chanderpaul out for 50. Chanderpaul had crossed the 8,000 Test runs plateau during his innings.
Wicketkeeper Denesh Ramdin (0), who has been in horrible form this series, and Jerome Taylor(1) are at the crease. Earlier in the day the previously hobbled Sewnarine Chattergoon was seen practicing in the nets, but his presence at the crease seems only possible if the Windies get close to victory. Whatever hope there was of that happening however, seems to have disappeared with the fall of Bravo's and Chanderpaul's wickets.
