1.40pm Covers are slowly coming off.

13:43 Local Time, 17:43 GMT, 23:13 IST: The groundsmen into action. Trying to peel off the covers. An inspection and then action won't be too far away I guess.

Zafar: "I guess 30 mins of bat and India should declare. Predicted weather of today and tomorrow are grim. Hope we can get through 4th innings with ball swinging"

AadilShahzad: "India is in full control here, but their A team lost to Pakistan A in ACC emerging cup final" --- Yup, a one-sided game in the end

1.45pm A bit of a dampener. It is not raining but the ground staff have started putting the covers back on because there is a dark cloud approaching. It has got darker. So we wait and we watch.

Nimesh: "India should not be batting again. 301 is enough to defend, and if WI scores that many run in fourth inning then they deserve the win! "

"Declaring right away is fine. There's no way West Indies is going to go for the win. They were so cautious even in the first innings." Sree, I am not saying it will be an objectively bad call to declare right now, but I wouldn't base such a call on West Indies' intent in the first innings. At that time, West Indies couldn't even think of a win. You never know what happens when you give a team a sighter.
