Saha, resuming on 46, took his total to 104 before being caught by Shane Dowrich off the bowling of Alzarri Joseph, while Ashwin, who began the day on 75, was eventually dismissed by Miguel Cummins after making 118.
The duo’s impressive 213-run stand steadied the ship for the tourists and guided them to a decent target of 353 all out before the hosts made 107 for the loss of one wicket in reply at stumps.
After ripping through the away side’s top order on day one to leave India struggling on 126 for five, the Windies’ attack was forced to wait 72.2 overs for a sixth wicket.
