VVS Laxman scored 176 runs and Mahendra Singh Dhoni slammed a 144 run century as India declared on 631/7 on the second day of the second test between India (Ind) vs West Indies (wi) on Eden Gardens at Kolkata.
Laxman produced yet another classy knock at his favorite ground where he averages an astounding 110, while Dhoni struck a belligerent 144 (175b, 10x4, 5x6) to record his first century in 21 months
In reply West Indies were struggling at 34 /2 after losing both openers Adrian Barath (1 run) and opener Kraigg Brathwaite (17 runs) before the second day's play was called 50 minutes early because of bad light. West Indies are trailing by 597 runs.
Laxman and Dhoni stitched 224 runs together for the seventh wicket in an alliance that put India in complete command on what looked to be a good batting track.
Indian bowlers did well to claim the early wickets with Umesh Yadav and Ravichandran Ashwin taking one wicket each.
