Mumbai: Kirk Edwards (65*) and Darren Bravo (57*) stitched an unbeaten third wicket 117-run partnership to guide West Indies to 267/2 in 91 overs at stumps on the first day of the third and final Test against India at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai.
Bravo became the fourth West Indian batsman to post fifty against India on the first day of the final Test. Bravo scored his 50 off 88 balls that included seven boundaries.

Ashwin gave India the second breakthrough when he had Kraigg Brathwaite caught by Virat Kohli at forward short leg. Brathwaite hit 8 fours in his 68-run knock.
Adrian Barath hit 8 fours in his 62-run knock before an off-break from Ashwin turned and bounced, got the inside edge onto the pad and lobbed up for an easy catch for Indian captain MS Dhoni.
Opting for patience over flamboyance, Barath and Kraigg Brathwaite hit half-centuries.
Barath reached his fourth half-century, third against India, with the help of six fours.
