Mysore: One team's joy is another's misery. This was the situation at the Gangotri Glades, here on Friday. On the penultimate day of the four-day game, India A's batting line-up melted in the baking sun to hand the advantage to West Indies A, who stretched their overall lead to a big 314 by the end of day's play. West Indies A, riding on impressive shows by spinners Nikita Miller (4/61) and Veerasammy Permaul (5/85) restricted Cheteshwar Pujara's men to 245 in response to their first innings total of 429. In with an option to enforce the follow-on after gaining a 184-run lead and aided by a crumbling pitch, skipper Kirk Edwards, however, decided to pile more misery on the home team, moving to 130/3 at the close.
