Kingston —The West Indies fast bowlers - even
without Fidel Edwards - embarrassed the Indian
batting line-up for the second time in three
weeks, setting the foundation for a series-levelling
win. They bowled aggressively and smartly,
reducing India to 82 for 8 before a 101-run
ninth-wicket stand between MS Dhoni and RP Singh
kept the match alive. Chris Gayle and Runako
Morton replied with a 101-run partnership of
their own, ensuring there was no late drama in a
game that was mostly dominated by West Indies.
