Edwards hits defiant debut century but India retain control

The 26-year-old Edwards stroked a defiant 110 to help haul West Indies out of trouble and propel them to a solid 201 for three late in the evening at Windsor Park.

Edwards and veteran Shivnarine Chanderpaul (73 not out), playing his record-breaking 133rd Test, added 161 runs for the fourth wicket after West Indies were looking down the barrel at 40/3.

West Indies let their advantage slip late on the penultimate day.
