Shami, Yadav make West Indies follow on
- Updated: July 23, 2016
West Indies 243 (K Brathwaite 74, Dowrich 57*, Yadav 4-41, Shami 4-66) and (f/o) 0 for 0 trail India 566 for 8 decl. by 323 runsLive scorecard and ball-by-ball details
Playing his first Test as a specialist wicketkeeper, Shane Dowrich scored his second Test half-century, an unbeaten 57, to hold India off in the final session of the day, but didn’t cause enough damage to prevent a follow-on. With only 90.2 overs bowled in the first innings, with 13 overs to go before a full night’s rest and with five bowlers in his side, Virat Kohli enforced the first follow-on for India since late 2012 against England in Ahmedabad.

The BCCI compensated him for the loss of IPL money, a first such recorded instance. Once he was fit, Shami walked into the Test XI in Antigua, and showed why he is a man worth looking after.
On a slow pitch where it looked difficult to dismiss batsmen who didn’t play shots, Shami bowled with menace to take four wickets after which Umesh Yadav chipped in to leave West Indies seven down at tea on the third day. Kraigg Brathwaite, a man known for quiet defiance, denied India for 218 balls, but the visitors found a way around him and then broke through him about 20 minutes before tea.
From the time Brathwaite and nightwatchman Devendra Bishoo frustrated India for 16 overs, it …
