R Ashwin scored his second Test hundred early on the third morning in Kolkata, helping India grow their lead•BCCI

Rohit Sharma, meanwhile, made his way past 150 •BCCI

Shane Shillingford finished with a six-for as India were bowled out for 453 - a lead of 219 - on the stroke of lunch•BCCI

Sachin Tendulkar had a bowl again, much to the delight of the Eden Gardens crowd•BCCI

Shami then bowled a lethal over, repeatedly reversing the ball into the right-hand batsmen. Darren Sammy was one of three batsmen out in that over, his stumps splayed•BCCI

He went on to record his highest Test score: 124•BCCI

Ashwin and Rohit broke the record for India's highest seventh-wicket partnership with 280•BCCI

Bhuvneshwar Kumar accounted for Chris Gayle early on once again, with Virat Kohli latching on to a mis-hit from the batsman at square leg•BCCI

Just as it seemed Kieran Powell and Darren Bravo were set, having added 68 for the second wicket, Ashwin struck, trapping Powell lbw•BCCI

Shillingford was another, going the same way, before Veerasammy Permaul was distracted by a loud lbw shout and caught short of his ground by an alert MS Dhoni•BCCI

Veerasammy Permaul eventually broke through for West Indies, getting Rohit lbw to a debatable decision for 177 - the second-highest score by an Indian debutant •BCCI

Kohli suffered some pain soon after, copping a blow to the groin•BCCI

Marlon Samuels had top-scored in the first innings with 65, but Mohammed Shami trapped him lbw - another questionable decision - for four in the second •BCCI

West Indies were slipping fast, and Shami eventually closed out the game, finishing with match figures of 9 for 128 - the fourth-best ever by an Indian quick at home. India sealed the game by an innings, with two days to spare•BCCI
