The day 4 ended in boredom as the crowd was able to see neither the little master reaching his milestone nor do they foresee any outcome of the match.
After India was all out at 482 in reply to West Indies' first innings score of 590, the tourists are again batting as the day ended at 81/2.
Indian innings though went all too monotonous after the dismissal of Sachin at 94, but a brisk century at the end of the innings by Ashwin spiced up the day a bit. Ashwin made 103 runs off 118 balls and was the last man to get out from India in the 136th over. He made a valuable stand of 97 with Kohli who was caught at 52 on the ball of Bishoo.
Edwards and Samuels were successful as they both took 3 wickets each while Sammy grabbed 2. Credit goes to Windies seamers who dismissed India in less than two days.
West Indies started their innings after gaining a lead of 108 and Barath was quick to become the victim of Ojha after scoring just 3 runs. 6 overs later Ojha gave yet another wicket to India as Edwards 17 was stumped by Dhoni.
Windies scored 81 in 34 overs as Brathwaite 34 and Bravo 27 were on the crease. Yet another tiresome day awaits the Indian bowlers and that too for almost nothing.
