    West Indies, following-on after being bowled out for 153, were dismissed for 463 runs in their second innings before tea on the fourth day.

    Following on after conceding a huge 478-run lead in the first innings, West Indies were 339 four at lunch at the Eden Gardens.

    Bravo went into the break remaining unbeaten on 117 to register only his second century in Test matches in less than a month. He hit 13 boundaries and four sixes during his 204 ball unconquered stay at the crease.

    Bravo shared vital 108 runs for the fourth wicket with Shivnarine Chanderpaul (47) in the first session of the day that had little for the Indian bowlers.
