Ashwin continued his fine day by trapping opener Kieran Powell for 36 and having Darren Bravo caught at point for 37.

Shami had trapped Marlon Samuels for four in-between, and the 23-year-old seamer then picked up three wickets in four balls before Permaul was caught napping out of his crease and was run out by home captain MS Dhoni.

The ever-dependable Shivnarine Chanderpaul could only watch on at the other end as Ashwin had Tino Best caught at deep mid-wicket before Shami completed the rout by clean bowling final man Sheldon Cottrell.
