The stage is set for an interesting finish on Day five of the 2nd Test in Port of Spain as the West Indies still need 289 runs for victory with eight wickets in hand. After being set a target of 365 runs on a rain-curtailed penultimate day, the hosts finished at 76/2 with Tagenarine Chanderpaul and Jermaine Blackwood at the crease. Mohammed Siraj impressed with the ball, taking 5/60 to bowl out the Windies for 255 in the first innings. Skipper Rohit Sharma and wicketkeeper Ishan Kishan played quickfire innings to help India declare their second innings at 181/2. Former India opener Aakash Chopra expects the West Indies to adopt a defensive strategy, blocking a lot of deliveries and waiting for loose balls to score runs. He also anticipates spinners Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja to play a significant role on the final day and expects them to bowl a lot of overs in tandem. Chopra believes the pitch still favors the batsmen and doesn’t think it will deteriorate quickly.
