West Indies vs India Highlights And Cricket Score 2nd Match - Test Commentary
After the Tea break, West Indies should look to survive the rest of the Day with minimal damage. The visitors, on the other hand, would be looking to nip out a few early wickets. It should be an absorbing session of cricket. Join us in a little while as the hosts will come out to bat for the first time in this Test match.
For the hosts, Jason Holder and Rahkeem Cornwall were the pick of the bowlers. The skipper, in particular was excellent and picked up his sixth five-wicket haul in Tests. The debutant also played a good supporting role, picking up three wickets. They will be disappointed though as they would feel that they have conceded a few too many runs here.
If the first session was a shared one, this one was definitely India's. They added 80 runs in the span of 22 overs. Hanuma Vihari and Ishant sharma continued the good work after the Lunch break and led India to a total above 400. Vihari got to his first Test century in the process while Sharma played an innings like a top order batsman with a well deserved fifty. India would feel that they have got enough on the board. It was Agarwal and Kohli in the early part of the innings who were brilliant with the bat and the middle order continued to milk the bowlers to give them a very good score on this wicket.
Jason Holder to Hanuma Vihari. OUT! CAUGHT! Sixth five-fer for the West Indies skipper which also brings up 100 Test scalps for him. Vihari is the last man to be dismissed. Holder bowls this one full and just outside off, Vihari looks to clear the mid on fielder but gets a thick outside edge on it. The ball goes high in the air towards mid off where Kemar Roach runs back, settles himself under it and takes a good catch. India finish their first innings on 416 and have set a stiff total in front of the hosts.
Jason Holder brings himself back on. He will want to end India's innings.

An attacking field for Cornwall as the hosts go for broke. One silly point, one short leg and two slips in place for Ishant Sharma.
... Day 2, Session 2 ...
India would look to score around the 350-run mark. West Indies, on the other hand, should look to wrap things up quickly here before things go out of hand. It promises to be an exciting session ahead. Join us back in a while.
It is Lunch on Day 2 of this Test match. It has been a shared session here as India have added valuable runs with Vihari scoring a well compiled fifty. The West Indian bowlers were good especially their skipper who continued from where he left off yesterday. He picked the vital wicket of Rishabh Pant on the first ball of the day. Jadeja and Vihari continued to score at a slow pace before Jadeja lost his patience and threw his wicket away.

Jason Holder to Hanuma Vihari. Oh dear. Direct hit and Ishant was gone for all money. He was literally sold a dummy down the river there and had no way to go. But now, to add salt to the wound, the batsmen take an overthrow as well. It was a length ball just outside off, Vihari pushed this towards cover-point and set off for a single. Now, one cannot blame Ishant for not responding at all. He is a fast bowler and would have looked at the clock and probably thought, Lunch is around the corner. Suddenly, he is called for a quick single. Now, he is in no position to respond and starts scurrying towards the keeper's end. He knows he is gone and gives up pretty early when he sees Kraigg Brathwaite pick up the ball. The former skipper takes an aim and has a shy at the stumps at the striker's end, but on the run. That causes some imbalance and he misses it, with Sharma heaving a sigh of relief. The ball goes towards deep backward square leg and in the meantime, Vihari calls his partner for another run.

Ball Tracker comes in, pitching outside off, impact in line, but GOING OVER THE LEG POLE. Successful review for India and their two reviews remain intact. Vihari is still at the crease although riding his luck a bit.

We are all set to begin Day 2. The Windies players are in a huddle and make their way out to the middle. The Indian batters, Rishabh Pant and Hanuma Vihari are also out in the middle with the former on strike. Jason Holder, the West Indies skipper will start the proceedings on Day 2 for the hosts.
Pitch Report - Daren Ganga is down for the pitch report. He says that there is still a layering of grass but it is a bit uneven now after the first day's play. Ian Bishop is also with Daren Ganga. He too points out that there are some indentations on the pitch and there will be some movement off the pitch because of them. On Virat Kohli's approach against the Windies bowlers, Bishop says that the batters have to be sharp and defend well. Bishop suggests that they need to wait for the loose deliveries and capitalise on them. The bowlers need to get their length right and hit the good length area consistently. The pitch is favouring the seamers and Ganga says that they will be crucial for both the sides.
On Day 1, the visitors dominated the proceedings right from the word go but the West Indies kept pegging them back at regular intervals which has kept the hosts in the game. The Indian skipper, Virat Kohli and Mayank Agarwal each got their half tons. Holder was the pick of the bowlers as he bowled excellent lines and lengths as he picked up three wickets. Vihari and Pant are out in the middle and they will be looking to take this game out of the hosts' reach and take India's total around the 400-run mark. The Windies, on the other hand, will look to bundle out the Men In Blue around 300. Join us in a while to find out.
Greetings and welcome to Day 2 of the second Test match between India and West Indies. The conditions look perfect for a good day of cricket as the sun is shining in Jamaica and it should be an exciting Day of Test cricket.
... Day 2, Session 1 ...
Come Saturday, the Indian batters will look to score above 350 which should be a very good score on this wicket. West Indies will look to strike early on the second day to keep India's total in check. Do join us for the action on Day 2 at 0930 local (1430 GMT). See ya!
For the hosts, Holder along with Roach, were exceptional the entire day but the latter did not have a lot of luck. Rahkeem Cornwall, on debut, looked on song in the first session but did not threaten much during the latter phase of the day. Gabriel, who never looked 100 percent on the field, could not find his rhythm and struggled to bowl well. Not the kind of bowling performance the Windies skipper would've wanted after electing to bowl first.
Earlier in the day, India started well with their openers giving them a decent start before Jason Holder struck to remove KL Rahul. Holder bowled superbly and tested the Indian batters with his superb line and length. He got rid of the Indian skipper Kohli with a superb delivery. However, before getting out, Kohli stitched important stands with Agarwal and Rahane to grind the Windies out.
India end Day 1 with an upper hand. After Virat Kohli's early wicket in the final session, Pant and Vihari have stitched a handy unbeaten 62-run stand between them. Roach and Gabriel tested the duo with the second new ball but Pant and Vihari have managed to stay in the middle.

Also, the Ball Tracker shows that it was going down the leg side. So, the umpire gets one decision right and one wrong.
Kemar Roach to Rishabh Pant. Straighter one on the pads this time, Pant whips it nicely through square leg for three. There was no one in that direction as the mid on fielder runs towards the ball.

Also, 250 up for India with that.

... Day 1, Session 3 ...
Last match's centurion Ajinkya Rahane joined skipper Kohli and the two have not looked in much trouble as they have added 42 unbeaten runs between them with skipper Kohli getting to yet another fifty. The duo will look to keep getting the runs and take India towards a commanding position. Holder and his men would want to get a few more wickets in the final session of the day. See you after the Tea break.
The Indians started well after Lunch with Agarwal raking up his 3rd half century. He along with Kohli were looking good before Holder arrived to break the stand. Roach and Cornwall looked good in phases but didn't trouble the two much. Gabriel's form and fitness will be an issue for the hosts.

Indian skipper, Virat Kohli says that the first session is going to be tough just like Antigua. They have to tough it out in the first session. Virat Kohli also suggests that they have advantage of putting runs on the board and put the Windies batting lineup under pressure. Kohli is hoping that they get a session when they are bowling where they can pick up some quick wickets. On being asked about some gaps that need to be fixed, Kohli says that they have to be more focused and precise. The small partnerships should be converted into bigger ones. The batters have always something to learn off the previous matches. On being asked about his team selections, he informs that there are no changes to the starting XI from the last match.
West Indies skipper, Jason Holder informs that the decision to bowl first is because there is a hint of green grass on the surface. On the changes in the team, he informs that there are two players who are coming in to make their debuts. Rahkeem Cornwall comes in to replace Miguel Cummins and Jahmar Hamilton replaces Shai Hope.
Toss - Heads is the call by Indian skipper Virat Kohli and... it is tails. India lose the toss and Jason Holder opts to field first.
Pitch report - Daren Ganga is out in the middle and says it is blue and sunny out in the middle. Daren Ganga states there is a tinge of green on the surface. There is good enough water content on the pitch. It is a flat track as well. Ganga informs that there should be something for the pacers and also for the batters. Ian Bishop suggests how historically, the pitch has had something for the spinners too in the latter days of the match. Further he says that Bumrah used the conditions well in the second innings of the last match and adapted to the conditions well. Daren Ganga informs that the average score is around 350 in the first innings and it reduces by 50 runs in the second innings. The pitch will reward all lengths of balls. Be it good length or just shorter, the pacers will get something off it.
Kohli's men were absolutely ruthless in dismantling the West Indies in the first Test match. The Windies, on the other hand, stood no chance against the hostile pace attack of the Indian bowlers. Another win here would mean Kohli's men continue their domination in the tour and win the series. However, the Windies have not lost a Test series at home in more than two years and would look to extend their run by stopping the Indians.
Hello and welcome to Sabina Park, Kingston, Jamaica. We are here for the coverage of the second Test match between West Indies and India. It is a bright and sunny day here in Jamaica. However, the situation for the hosts doesn't look bright at all. They have failed to win any of the matches in this tour so far as the Men In Blue have rolled them over in all formats.
The hosts, on the other hand, were dismal with the bat yet again and they failed to cope up with the magic of Bumrah. Only Shimron Hetmyer was able to cross the 20-run mark. They will look to take early wickets here to have any chance of coming back into the game. The visitors, on the other hand, should look to extend their lead to above 400. Be back in a while.
An excellent bowling performance from India here. They have bowled out the Windies for just 117. Although they were made to toil here in the first half, they are still way ahead in the game. Jasprit Bumrah was the pick of the bowlers as he picked his fifth 5-wicket haul in Test matches. He was unplayable on this wicket and there was nothing that the Windies batsman could do. Shami and Ishant also played excellent supporting roles with 2 and 1 wickets respectively.
So the Indians have bundled out West Indies for 117 and they lead by 299. However, Kohli wants to bat yet again. THEY HAVE NOT ENFORCED THE FOLLOW ON!
Ravindra Jadeja to Kemar Roach. OUT! CAUGHT! West Indies' innings is done and dusted. Loopy fuller ball from Jadeja. Roach looks to heave this inside out over the covers but all he gets it is a thick outside edge. The ball lobs straight to Mayank Agarwal in the covers. Now, will Kohli enforce the follow-on with a lead of 299 runs?

DRINKS! West Indies have done well here as they have negotiated the first hour nicely with the loss of just one wicket. They would look to get close to avoiding the follow-on. The visitors, on the other hand, will consider themselves unlucky as there have been many plays and misses but nothing has picked up the edge. They will look to wrap the innings as quickly as possible.

We are all set to begin Day 3. The Indian players are making their way to their Respective fielding positions. Rahkeem Cornwall and Jahmar Hamilton also make their way out to resume their innings. Mohammed Shami will start the proceedings for the visitors.
Daren Ganga is there for the pitch report. He says that wear and tear will be seen on the pitch which is expected on the third day. He further states that the bowlers should look to make use of the easterly winds. Says that Bumrah made good use of the conditions. Ian Bishop joins him for the pitch report and has heaps of praises for Bumrah. He further adds that Bumrah worked wonders when he changed his end. Ganga further states the spinners will also have an impact as they have seen the ball spin from Day 1. Bishop says that the pitch is hard now and every bowler will have a part to play.
Welcome to the coverage of Day 3 of the Test match between India and West Indies. The visitors are well ahead in the game with a strong lead of 329 runs. They have a great chance of enforcing the follow-on. Bumrah was excellent with the ball and would like to continue that today as well. What should we say about the hosts? Their batting was not upto the mark to say the least. Now coming into Day 3, their first target would be to avoid the follow-on. That looks fairly difficult with just three wickets in hand. Will they be able to produce any magic or will the visitors wrap the innings quickly? Join us in a while to find out.
... Day 3, Session 1 ...
So, at the end of Day 2, West Indies trail India by 329 and they need 130 more to avoid the follow-on. Jahmar Hamilton and Rahkeem Cornwall are at the crease and there is not a lot of batting to come after that. It seems highly unlikely that they will be able to avoid the follow-on. If they do so, it will be nothing short of a miracle. Join us on Day 3 at 0930 local (1430 GMT). Till then, cheers and take care!
Speaking about the West Indies batting, the less said about it, the better. They needed their batters to step up but none of them delivered. Only Shimron Hetmyer managed to score above 20. Due to their poor show with the bat, they are now in disarray.
India started the day on a disappointing note as Pant was dismissed on the first ball itself but it has been all about the visitors since then. Hanuma Vihari got to his maiden Test ton and Ishant Sharma to his maiden Test half ton and courtesy them, India finished with a big first innings total. The only positive for the hosts was the 5-fer taken by their skipper, Jason Holder.
INDIA BOSSING THE GAME! That is the only thing one can say after the play on Day 2. First, they tired the West Indies players out on the field as they batted out the first two sessions of the day and later the Indian bowling attack (or should we say Jasprit Bumrah) dismantled the hosts' batting line-up by picking six out of the seven wickets that fell on Day 2 for the hosts.

... Day 3, Session 3 ...
After Kohli decided against enforcing the follow-on, the approach of the Indian batting has been questionable. They have been scoring runs very slowly. Especially KL Rahul who could only manage 6 runs of 63 balls. While they lead by 372 runs, it will be interesting to see how they come out and play in the final session of the day. Join us back in a while.
For the first time in this game, West Indies have managed to win a session, one can say. Kemar Roach was the man who removed KL Rahul and Virat Kohli on successive balls. Holder got rid of Pujara to peg India back further. Gabriel and Cornwall were very accurate too and didn't allow easy runs to the Indians. Rahane and Vihari remain unscathed as they go into Tea.

So that is it from this game and this series! It has been all India and they have won their first Test series of the ICC WTC campaign. West Indies on the other hand, have a lot to ponder about. However, there is still a long time before they play the longest format. There, though will be a lot of cricket action going on. Until next time, take care and goodbye!
Indian skipper, Virat Kohli, says they played really good cricket over the four days and they got the result they wanted. Admits they were put under pressure in few sessions especially while they were batting but they came out well. Further adds Vihari was the stand out but contributions from Rahane, Agarwal and Ishant was excellent. States it was a game full of grit and determination. Tells Vihari is very solid and is very confident about his game and the dressing room is calm when he bats. Also says he is always eager to learn and improve and that shows in his batting. Mentions without the bowlers, the number of Tests they have won, would not have been possible, they bowl with all the heart and his record of being the Indian captain with the most number of Test win is due to his team. Ends by saying Windies' bowling was really good, especially Holder and Roach and they were expecting that before the series to have a tough task with the bat against the Windies bowlers.
Man of the Match, Hanuma Vihari, says the maiden ton feels very good especially after he missed out on one in the last game. Mentions he wanted to be out there and he was looking to stitch partnerships which would take his team to a good total. Reckons you need to be patient on this wicket and need to be selective about which balls to hit and which not to and that was his game plan. Informs he took the same approach in the second innings and it went well for him. Further adds he is looking forward to play a Test match at home as it is a great feeling playing in front of the home crowd.
West Indies skipper, Jason Holder, says that he is disappointed with the performance. Mentions that he has to pay special attention to all the departments. On the bowling performance, he says that they always come and give their 100 percent. On India, he says that they are a quality side and they bowled extremely well. Also admits they needed to bat a lot better and apply themselves which they failed to do in this series. On the pitch, states that the wicket was a good one and he has no complaints about it.
The Windies batters though did show signs of some fight with Brooks scoring a half ton. His first in Tests. A couple of other batters also showed some resilience but it was always going to be an uphill task. Once the man who scored the first half ton for Windies in this series was run out. They fell like a pack of cards with Jadeja and Shami being the stars as the two picked up three each. All-in-all it has been a dominating series for the Indians and they have justified why they are one of the best sides going around. Stay tuned for the presentation.
India did have the chance of enforcing the follow-on but they did not do so. They batted again and added 168 runs to the lead of 299 they got after bowling the Windies out for 117. India's best batters in the series did well for them as both Rahane and Vihari notched up half tons. The visitors then declared with around an hour to go on Day 3 and also managed to take 2 wickets.
In reply, the Windies batters once again had no answers to one of the best bowlers going around, Jasprit Bumrah. He demolished the Windies batting line-up with a 6-fer, including a hat-trick. Just the one Windies batter scored above 20 and after that only one result looked likely.
This game also turned out to be another one-sided one in favor of the Indians who did not lose a game on the whole tour. Everything, absolutely everything has gone wrong for the Windies right from the start. They won the toss and elected to field, a decision which could have been questioned. Yes, the conditions on Day 1 were suitable for bowling but the Windies bowlers did not make complete use of it. They let India score a massive score with Vihari being the star with a maiden ton. Kohli and Agarwal also made handy contributions.
Just less than two sessions is the answer to the question we asked in the opening text today. Another excellent performance by the Indian bowlers. It was even better in the second session as they made quick work of the remaining 6 wickets.

Ravindra Jadeja to Shamarh Brooks. OUT! RUN OUT! Lazy, lazy from Brooks and it has cost him his wicket. He played a defensive push off this full delivery towards cover-point and took off for a single but was sent back by Holder. Kohli from cover got to his left, picked it up and threw it off balance at the keeper's end. Voila! A direct hit. The Indian players were not confident as they thought the batsmen was well in but the replays showed otherwise. Brooks was shown to be lazy in getting back and had he stretched a bit, he would have easily got in. Poor stuff. A run out is never the best way to get out (there never is any good way) but when you do not put a price tag on your wicket, you tend to lose respect.

Misses the stumps but even if he had hit, Brooks was well in. Should have gone at Pant's end.

... Day 4, Session 2 ...
India, on the other hand, were getting the ball to swing but were quite wayward. Jadeja was probably the pick of the bowlers. Ishant and Shami were good in bits and pieces. They though are way ahead in the game and just need to be patient. Join us for the second session in a while.
Jason Holder will be happy with his batsmen in this session. It did not start in the best of manner for the Windies as Bravo went back retired hurt early on. Brooks and Chase though, then surged a decent stand and took the Windies above the 100-run mark. The hosts then lost Chase and Hetmyer in quick succession and it seemed the floodgates have been opened but Blackwood, the concussion substitute, along with Brooks, who was dismissed of a no ball, have done really well so far. Still there is a long way to go and they need to keep going.

Trying to analyze the no ball rule. Or the REVISED no ball rule. Murali Kartik explains to us very efficiently about the technicalities. Earlier, the landing of the foot was looked into only when the bowler was releasing the ball. However, as per the new rules, the landing of the foot is only checked, irrespective of the ball release. So the cameras show us replays of the Jadeja no ball. He lands his foot with his heel over the line. Fair. NO BALL. But he has not released the ball! And when he does let go of the cherry, the heel is back in the crease. So, what Murali Kartik is trying to tell us is - this rule is plainly for the fast bowlers as it is practically impossible to delay your delivery while bowling fast and landing your foot. But while adjusting to the faster men, the spinners are facing the brunt of the rule. Tough luck.

Daren Ganga is out there for the pitch report. Says that there is inconsistency in the bounce as short deliveries have kept low on certain occasions. Further says that there are cracks near the Michael Holding end. Ian Bishop joins him and says that the pitch looks better near the Courtney Walsh end. Further goes on to say that the pitch is still good for the faster bowlers. He says that there will be not much swing today as compared to Day 1 and Day 2.
Ishant Sharma, the birthday boy, is down giving an interview. He starts by saying he made his debut at a young age and hence, it seems he has been playing for so long. Further adds he still feels young and is fit to play more. Says Bumrah is an impact bowler and then jokingly say, they ask him to ease off so that they can also pick wickets. Smiles and says they have a lot of fun in the team and despite him being the senior, they still joke around with him. States he recently added the skill of bowling from round the wicket to the left-handers and also getting the ball to straighten from wide of the crease and he is looking to add more variety going ahead.
1 session? 2 sessions? 3 sessions? How many do you think will India take to pick the remaining 8 wickets? If you read the above, you would probably say we are too biased towards the Indian side but to be honest, a Windies win looks improbable. An unreal effort will be needed from their batters if they are to pull this off. However, seeing the way they have batted, it looks like there is only one result on the cards. Stay tuned for the start of the first session.
... Day 4, Session 1 ...
India, on the other hand, are outright favorites as they have only eight wickets to take and have two complete days remaining. However, one believes that the whole of Monday will be enough to take the remaining wickets. Join us on Day 4 for what probably could be the last day of the Test match at 0930 local (1430 GMT). Cheers!
The Windies batsmen though can be be happy with their batting performance in the final session. They managed to lose only the two wickets which is quite different from their previous innings where they had lost wickets in a heap at the start. However, there is still a long way to go and the remaining batters will have to bat out of their skins if they have to give India a run for their money.
It has been India's day throughout. They firstly bowled out the hosts for 117 and then, after a sedate start to their innings and a few early wickets, Rahane and Vihari surged an unbeaten 111-run stand and gave West Indies a huge target of 468. Both got to their respective fifties before Kohli decided to declare. Also they managed to take two Windies wickets in the hour they got to bowl at the Windies batters.
Jasprit Bumrah to Darren Bravo. Whoa! Almost a wicket off the last ball! Perfect planning from Bumrah as he rattled Bravo with back-to-back bouncers and then dished a wide fuller ball. The sucker ball one can say. Bravo goes after it but misses to get bat on ball. This was a very risky shot and if you add the fact that this was the last ball of the day, there was no need to go after the ball like that. Anyway, STUMPS ON DAY 3!
