Intermittent showers delayed India's hopes of taking a first innings lead even as Ishant Sharma snared two wickets on a rain-depleted second day to leave the West Indies struggling at 98 for five at stumps here Wednesday.

The lanky Sharma, who finished with three for 31, made the most of the bounce and pace from the moist Kensington Oval track and struck twice in the sixth over to remove night-watchman Devendra Bishoo (13) and Ramnaresh Sarwan (18) as West Indies slumped to 57 for five after resuming at overnight 30 for three.
