India grab early wickets in third test

NEW YORK, July 6 (Reuters) - Ishant Sharma captured
two quick wickets as India seized the early control in the third
and final test against West Indies in Dominica on Wednesday.

Sharma, man of the match in last week's drawn second test in
Barbados, dismissed Adrian Barath for 12 and Kirk Edwards for
six. West Indies were reduced to 64 for three at lunch on day
one.

Praveen Kumar also bagged an early wicket, removing Kieran
Powell for three, to trigger a mini-collapse after India captain
Mahendra Singh Dhoni won the toss and sent the home team in
first.

West Indies were in deep trouble at 35-3 in the 17th over
before Darren Bravo (17 not out) and Shivnarine Chanderpaul (11
not out) steadied the innings with an unbroken stand of 29.

India, who lead the series 1-0 after winning in Jamaica, made
one change to the side that drew in Barbados, with paceman Munaf
Patel replacing Abhimanyu Mithun.

West Indies made two changes, dropping batsmen Lendl Simmons
and Ramnaresh Sarwan in favour of Powell and Edwards.
