Wasim Jaffer's maiden double ton and a blistering half-century by Mahendra Singh Dhoni helped India set up a daunting target for the West Indies in the first Test at St.John's on Monday.
India, which started the day on 215 for two, declared at 521 for six.
West Indies, set a challenging 392 to win in just over a day, reached 13 without loss at stumps on Day 4. Chris Gayle was 1 not out and Daren Ganga 10

India failed to snatch the last wicket as the West Indies held their nerve to draw the first Test in dramatic circumstances.

Congratulatiosn to Kaiff Mohammed Kaif hit his maiden Test hundred to become the third batsman to complete a century for India in the second Test against West Indies. India had the West Indies back to the wall after putting up a huge total and making early inroads into the host's batting on the second day of the second cricket Test at St. Lucia on Sunday. Centuries from captain Rahul Dravid and Mohammad Kaif, coming on the back of Virender Sehwag's 180 on the opening day, saw the Indians declare their first innings at 588 for eight at the Beausejour stadium. Speedster Munaf Patel then struck twice off successive balls to leave the West Indies in a mess at 65 for three at stumps, a deficit of 523 runs.

End of third dayIndia were smelling blood after scuttling out the West Indies for a modest total and amassing a huge first innings lead on the third day of the second cricket Test at St. Lucia on Monday.
The hosts cut a sorry figure as they were bundled out for 215, none of their batsmen crossed the half-century mark, to concede a potential match-winning lead of 373 runs to India at the Beasejour stadium.
Following on, Brian Lara's men were 43 for one in the second innings when bad light brought an early close to the proceedings. Lara was holding fort on 15 and was accompanied by opener Daren Ganga on 24

Rain spoils Day 4, play called off
ST. LUCIA, June 13: The weather gods halted India's march towards what seemed a certain victory as heavy rains and overcast conditions forced abandonment of fourth day's play in the second Test against the West Indies here on Tuesday.
India were pressing for a rare win in the Caribbean after bundling out the hosts for a meagre 215 to amass a 373-run first innings lead.
The West Indies, following on, were 43 for one in the second innings with Daren Ganga on 24 and captain Brian Lara on 15 at stumps on the third day at Beausejour stadium here.
But India's push for victory was put on hold as persistent rains prevented a ball being bowled on the penultimate day.
Rahul Dravid and his men still stand a chance as one full day's play remains to collect the remaining nine West Indian wickets while the hosts need to score 330 more to avoid an innings defeat.
Forecast for Wednesday’s weather is partly cloudy sky. India have won only three Tests in the Caribbean and last won a series here in 1971.
They had come tantalisingly close to winning the first Test in Antigua last week when they were denied by the last pair of Corey Collymore.
The start on Tuesday was delayed due to a wet outfield caused by overnight rains.
As umpires Simon Taufel and Asad Rauf waited for the heavens' fury to subside, the skies opened again in the afternoon.
Any chance of play starting later in the day was ruled out with puddles of water on the cover and heavy, dark clouds hanging over.
Dravid was understandably keen for the match to begin and had agreed to play in the morning even though the slush around the square was palpable.
The weather outlook from the St Lucia meteorological office has predicted more of the same on Wednesday's fifth and final day.
"Cloudy to overcast with periods of moderate to heavy showers and isolated thunderstorms," a report on their website indicated.
However, coach Greg Chappell hoped for a kinder weather when the fifth and final day of the second cricket Test against the West Indies unfolds at Beaujour Stadium on Wednesday.
"If the (rain) god was a West Indian today, I hope it is an Indian tomorrow," said Chappell after the fourth day's play was called off.
Chappell said his team had no control over the elements and he would now hope for enough play on Wednesday to eke out a result.
"We have no control over the weather but we got them out in 80 overs in the first innings and hopefully a full day tomorrow would enable us to take nine remaining wickets." Chappell was delighted with the development of his bowlers who have shown a remarkable control over line and length in the last couple of games.
