A dogged eighth-wicket stand between Rahul Dravid and Sarandeep Singh made a draw with West Indies look increasingly likely on the fourth day in Georgetown.

Dravid's 10th Test century took India past the follow-on target on the fourth morning, and he was joined by Sarandeep to add an unbeaten 120 in 42 overs.

Sarandeep, in his third Test, was 40 not out when heavy rain brought an early tea break, with India 395 for seven - 106 runs in arrears.

And the continuing downpour meant that play was brought to a premature end with no further action possible.

Dravid, who survived being struck on the jaw by a Mervyn Dillon bouncer in the morning, had faced 347 deliveries in an unbeaten 144, including 23 boundaries.

The partnership was a record for the Indian eighth wicket against the men from the Caribbean, passing the 107 shared by Yashpal Sharma and Balwinder Singh Sandu at Sabina Park in 1983.

India: Saurav Ganguly (captain), Rahul Dravid, Sachin Tendulkar, Deep Dasgupta, Shiv Sundar Das, Vangipurappu Laxman, Sanjay Bangar, Javagal Srinath, Anil Kumble, Sarandeep Singh, Zaheer Khan.
