Ravichandran Ashwin continued to dominate the West Indies with bat as well as ball on the second afternoon of the second Test as he belted 56 off 78 balls to lift India to 438 all out in their first innings Friday at tea on the second day.
Ashwin fell to Kemar Roach, after taking three boundaries off the pacer earlier in the over at Queen's Park Oval in Trinidad on Friday.
The vulnerable West Indies top order was likely to face another searching examination from an Indian attack spearheaded by Ashwin in the final session.
Roach and left-arm spinner Jomel Warrican claimed three wickets each on a surface which has so far offered very little assistance to the bowlers.
Ashwin held the innings together through the last hour after Ishan Kishan, who resumed with the all-rounder after lunch, fell to Jason Holder for 25.
Virat Kohli dominated the morning session as he completed a 29th Test hundred in his 500th international match, although his aspirations of a monumental innings were terminated by an error of judgement.
Poised on 88 overnight and easing to the cherished three figures with a square-driven boundary off fast bowler Shannon Gabriel within a few minutes of start, his determined demeanour suggested many more to come.
But he was undone going for a sharp single with Ravindra Jadeja and was run out for 121 by Alzarri Joseph's direct hit at the non-striker's end from square-leg.
Kohli faced 206 balls and stroked 11 fours in his innings, dominating a 159-run fifth-wicket partnership with Jadeja.
There was more success for the West Indies in the half-hour to lunch as Jadeja was adjudged caught behind off Kemar Roach for 61 (152 balls, 5 fours), television umpire Michael Gough overturning the original "not out" ruling by on-field official Marais Erasmus.
