Lara made his feelings clear to batsman Dhoni and the officials

Confusion over a disputed catch marred a superb batting display by India on day four of the first Test in Antigua.

Wasim Jaffer (212) completed his maiden double century and put on 203 with Rahul Dravid (62) but the real drama began when Mahendra Dhoni came in.

The keeper had smashed six sixes in his 69 when Daren Ganga claimed a catch off spinner Dave Mohammed on the boundary.

Replays failed to help but Dhoni walked as India declared on 521-6, before West Indies closed on 13-0 chasing 392.

Jaffer's career-best effort off 399 balls helped the tourists pile on the runs after they resumed on 215-2.

His marathon innings ended nine balls before tea when he was bowled by Ian Bradshaw, who caught Dravid when he top-edged a sweep off Mohammed.

Yuvraj Singh scored 39 before he drove a delivery from part-time off-spinner Chris Gayle uppishly into the covers and was spectacularly caught by a diving Shivnarine Chanderpaul.

Mohammad Kaif weighed in with an unbeaten 47 but the scoring rate slowed down considerably until Dhoni launched his spectacular assault on Mohammed's bowling, twice hitting the ball out of the ground.

He appeared to have hit a fourth consecutive six in what turned out to be the last over of the innings when Ganga pouched the ball on the mid-wicket boundary.

Play was held up for 10 minutes while the umpires tried to determine whether Ganga had stepped on the rope while taking the catch.

With video evidence failing to provide conclusive proof, Asad Rauf and Simon Taufel were set to allow Dhoni to continue until a visibly upset Windies skipper Brian Lara persuaded him to accept the fielder's word.
