KINGSTON, Jamaica (AP) A fighting display from West Indies' middle order batsmen saw the hosts reach 215-5 at lunch and raise hopes of earning an unlikely draw against India on the final day of the second test on Wednesday.

Starting the day on 48-4 in West Indies' second innings at Sabina Park, Jermaine Blackwood set the tone, scoring 63 from just 54 balls before he fell to the bowling of Ravichandran Ashwin.

His partnership with Roston Chase, who is 70 not out, was full of attacking shots. Shane Dowrich is unbeaten on 33 after the morning session.
