Bridgetown, Jul 3 (ANI): West Indies batters led by Darren Bravo put up a resilient batting show to deny India another victory in the second Test at Barbados, despite Ishant Sharma's incisive spell.
Man-of-the-match Sharma captured 4-53, finishing with match figures of 10-98, as the West Indies, chasing 281 for victory, ended on 7-202 in their second innings when bad light stopped play.
India's hopes of a historic series victory were almost derailed as Darren Bravo, whose 73 was the top score, and Carlton Baugh Jr, not out on 46, added 69 for the seventh wicket.
But rain, which had dogged the Test over the first four days, returned to ruin an exciting finish just when it appeared that India were on the back foot.
The result meant that India held on to a 1-0 lead in the three-match series, after they won the first Test by 63 runs at Sabina Park in Jamaica, The Sydney Morning Herald reports.
India will now look to clinch the series when the final Test opens on Wednesday at Windsor Park in Dominica. (ANI)
