Sharma's career-best gives India 11-run lead

[1]

Ishant Sharma became the fifth youngest bowler ever to take 100 wickets when he bowled India to an 11-run first innings lead over the West Indies in the second Test on Thursday.

Sharma captured a career-best six for 55 from 21.5 overs as the West Indies were dismissed for 190, in response to India's first innings total of 201, about 55 minutes before tea on the rain-affected third day at Kensington Oval.

Marlon Samuels was the top scorer for the West Indies with an unbeaten 78, but the hosts last three wickets fell for just four runs with a first innings lead in reach.

Sharma collected his 100th scalp in Test cricket when he trapped West Indies captain Darren Sammy lbw for 15.
