MIAMI (Reuters) - West Indies were in trouble at 26 for two at lunch on the fourth day of the third and final test against India, trailing by 117 runs.
After pace bowler Fidel Edwards ran through the Indian lower order, finishing with 5-103, as India ended their first innings 347 all out, West Indies suffered two early blows before the interval.
India lead the three-test series 1-0 and could now make a real push for a second win if they can make inroads into the West Indies middle order in the afternoon session.
Kieran Powell edged Ishant Sharma to Suresh Raina at third slip and then fellow opener Adrian Barath also played at a ball he could have left alone --- diverting a Praveen Kumar delivery to Virat Kohli at fourth slip.
Earlier Edwards had produced some genuinely hostile, short-pitched quick bowling to get rid of Harbhajan Singh with the second ball of the day and then tempt Mahendra Singh Dhoni (74) into an ill-advised pull which was snaffled up by Devendra Bishoo in the deep.
