West Indies off-spinners Marlon Samuels and Shane Shillingford have both been reported for suspected illegal bowling actions for a second time.

The reports rubbed salt into the wounds for the Windies after losing to India by an innings and 126 runs in the second Test in Mumbai - Sachin Tendulkar's 200th and final Test which ended on Saturday.

Samuels and Shillingford were reported at the end of the second day's play on Friday by on-field umpires Richard Kettleborough and Nigel Llong, TV umpire Vineet Kulkarni and Andy Pycroft.

The umpires' reports cited particular concern over Samuels' "quicker deliveries" and Shillingford's "doosras".

They were notified their bowling actions will need to be independently analysed within 21 days and the results submitted to the ICC.

Until the independent assessments are received, both are free to bowl in the upcoming three-match one-day series against India.

Samuels and Shillingford have previously been reported and suspended from bowling in international cricket.

Samuels was reported in February 2008 and resumed bowling in international cricket in September 2011, while Shillingford was reported in November 2010 and resumed bowling in June 2011.
