Darren Bravo continued his dream run with a third century in four Tests to help the West Indies post a mammoth 575-9 on the second day of the third and final Test against India on Wednesday.
Bravo, cousin of former West Indies batting great Brian Lara, dominated the Indian attack with a superb 166 as the tourists scored 308 runs on a batsmen's day after resuming at 267-2. Kieran Powell (81), who replaced injured batsman Shivnarine Chanderpaul, and Marlon Samuels (61) also made merry on a batting track at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai.
The West Indies' batting flourished for a second successive day, with the top-six batsmen all scoring a half-century or more. The left-handed pair of Bravo and Powell consolidated their team's position with a 160-run stand for the fourth wicket to virtually shatter India's hopes of making a clean sweep.
The hosts lead 2-0 in the series after winning the opening Test in New Delhi by five wickets and the second match in Kolkata by an innings and 15 runs.
