India resumed from the overnight score of 302 for 4, with Kohli and Ashwin going strong. Kohli got to his maiden double century just before lunch, but was dismissed in the second ball after the break. After Kohli’s dismissal, India did not collapse. Ashwin found a good partner in Wriddhiman Saha and the duo added 71 for the sixth wicket before Saha was stumped. Ashwin eventually got to his century a few moments later, but played a lofted shot and ended by holing out in the deep in a bid to up the ante. However, India’s tail was not willing to give up just yet. Amit Mishra struck a quick fire fifty and Mohammed Shami hit a couple of them out of the ground. India declared as soon as Mishra was dismissed for 53. IND vs WI Live Streaming: Watch live telecast on Ozee.com
