Gros Islet: After a miserable show by the top-order, Ravichandran Ashwin and Wriddhiman Saha steadied India’s ship on Day 1 of the third Test on Tuesday. The duo continued their good show on Day 2 as well and strengthened India’s position in the match. Unbeaten overnight, both Ashwin and Saha completed their centuries in the post-lunch session on Wednesday. While it was Ashwin’s fourth Test century, Saha recorded his maiden Test hundred.   India's wicketkeeper Wriddhiman Saha celebrates after he scored a century against West Indies during day two of their third cricket Test match at the Daren Sammy Cricket Ground in Gros Islet, St. Lucia, on Wednesday.
