At the Darren Sammy Stadium, the two teams hadn't arrived at the ground even as the clock ticked past the lunch mark at noon.
Thanks to the stormy weather, the whole outfield was rendered completely soggy even as the lone Super Sopper was hard at work.
Numerous muddy patches all along the boundary ropes deemed the field unfit for any play while rain stopped for just past 10 am local time. However, it picked up once again as the umpires inspected the conditions.
On day one, West Indies won the toss and elected to field.
India were reduced to 130/5 at one stage, after which R Ashwin and Wriddhiman Saha rescued the innings with an unbeaten century stand.
On day two, the duo completed their respective hundreds -- a fourth Test ton for Ashwin and a maiden Test century for Saha -- en route to their 213-run stand for the 6th wicket to take India to 353 runs in their first innings.
India lead the four-match series 1-0, after winning the first Test in Antigua by an innings and 92 runs. The second Test in Jamaica was drawn.
