India ready to bat again after imposing follow-on for the first time in 13 years
Meanwhile, India had declared their first innings at 518/5 and then restricted West Indies to 248 to take a lead of 270 runs, and felt that was enough to enforce follow-on. The touring team made a strong comeback to avoid an innings defeat in the second Test in Delhi.
