Twitter Reactions: West Indies save the Test match riding on Roston's century

The traditional form of the game has seen various turnarounds within days and sessions. The crowd at Kingston witnessed yet another spectacle from the West Indies team. Having reduced the Windies batting to 48/4 at stumps on Day 4, trailing by more than 250 runs, India seemed complete favourites to win the game.

However, the Windies batsmen had other plans. They made Indian bowlers toil hard on the field the entire day as they managed to score an unbelievable 388/6 from 48/4 overnight. All the 4 batsmen scored 50+ scores.

Roston Chase who also took a five-wicket haul led the way for the Windies with a magnificent hundred. Germaine Blackwood, Shane Dowrich and Jason Holder also scored scintillating fifties as they took Windies out of the hole and gave them ascendancy over India.

The Indian bowlers were taken aback by the sudden aggressive approach from the West Indies batsmen as they found it difficult to contain them. At the end, 340 runs were scored in the day for the loss of just 2 wickets, determining how Indian bowlers were completely outplayed.

West Indies thus saved a Test match they looked likely to lose and gave a new twist to the series with 2 Tests left. Twitter kept everyone enthralled. While most of them were disappointed about India’s poor bowling, many applauded the Windies batsmen for a wonderful fightback. The Indian bowlers got trolled as always.

Here are some of the Twitter reactions that took place during the course of Day 5 of the second Test:
