Four players scored half-centuries as India drew their two-day tour match against Antigua and Barbuda.

India bowled the hosts out for 300 on day one before replying with 311-9 on the second day of the match.

VVS Laxman led the scoring with 72, while Wasin Jaffer (52), Mohammad Kaif (53) and Mahendra Dhoni (60 not out) were also in the runs.

Spinner Justin Athanaze was the pick of the Antigua and Barbuda attack, taking 3-79 in 21 overs.

Having lost the one-day series 4-1, India are looking for a better performance in the four Tests, the first of which starts on Friday.

India have not won a Test series in the Caribbean for 35 years and were beaten 2-1 on their last tour in 2002 after going 1-0 up with victory in Trinidad.
