IND beat WI by 10 wickets | West Indies vs India, Highlights And Cricket Score 2nd Test Match - Commentary

Around 81 overs left in the day. How much can India score? How many wickets can the Windies take? Will it be another run fest for the hosts? The questions will be answered in a short while. Stay tuned...

India will not be perturbed with the score but they will be slightly disappointed with their bowling. Ravichandran Ashwin was the only bowler who was consistently nagging while Kuldeep and Jadeja were way off the mark. The former did get 3 wickets but that was because of some silly shot-making. Coming to Umesh Yadav, he was much better this morning but only good in parts yesterday. The nice thing for India was that those 'good in parts' bit resulted in wickets.

A special mention about Chase. Yes, the conditions were not the most difficult to bat but we cannot take anything away from his effort. Captain Jason Holder strutted his stuff too, fighting hard. The others were guilty of throwing their starts away.

Not a bad effort from the Windies with the bat. 311 is not a great score but on a track which is starting to be inconsistent, it gives them some sort of a chance. The good thing about their batting this time was that there were no collapses as such. There were small partnerships upfront before the big 104 between Chase and Holder which set things up.

Just 40 balls needed for India then, to wrap the Windies' innings up on Day 2. One might argue that they 'allowed' Chase to get to his century, not putting enough pressure on him but considering that they conceded just 16 runs this morning, it can be excused.

Umesh Yadav to Shannon Gabriel. OUT! Caught behind and Umesh now has his best Test figures. A 6-fer. Bizarre dismissal though. Full and wide outside off, Gabriel initially thinks about letting it go. But then as an afterthought, he feels to have a poke at it. Gets a thick outside edge straight to Rishabh Pant. Now Gabriel smiles, thinking about the review but he is informed that there is none left. WINDIES BOWLED OUT FOR 311!

Fun time. Shannon Gabriel is the last man in. Good test of his patience to see how many balls will he actually look to defend.

Umesh Yadav to Roston Chase. OUT! Right through the gate! UMESH HAS HIS SECOND TEST 5-FER. First at home. Beautiful bowling to get that wicket. Umesh lands this on a good length on middle and off and gets conventional swing with appreciable movement. Chase is a tad lazy in trying to defend and the ball goes right through bat and pad. Timber. Well played, Mr. Chase. You have given your team something to bowl at.

Umesh Yadav to Roston Chase. Outside off, left alone.

Good game awareness from the Windies batsman as he calls Chase for the quick single, catching MS on his heels.

Umesh Yadav to Roston Chase. A bouncer on middle, probably a deliberate ploy to keep Warrican on strike for the next over, Chase ducks.

Umesh Yadav to Roston Chase. The batsman has defended it by getting right behind the line of the delivery.

Umesh Yadav to Roston Chase. Wide outside off, swinging further away, comfortably left alone.

Umesh Yadav to Roston Chase. BOTTOM EDGE, FOUR! Another sign of the ball staying low. A touch short, outside off, Chase throws his bat at it but gets beaten by the lack of bounce. The ball takes the bottom edge and goes onto the ground behind. Rishabh Pant dives to his right, but the ball just brushes his outstretched glove and races to the third man fence. The stand is now worth 11 from 9 balls.

Umesh Yadav to Roston Chase. The batsman has defended it by getting right behind the line of the delivery.

Umesh Yadav to Roston Chase. Full and just outside off, watchfully pushed to the off side.

Kuldeep Yadav to Jomel Warrican. The batsman has punched the ball off the back foot.

Kuldeep Yadav to Roston Chase. TEST CENTURY NUMBER 4 FOR CHASE! He has richly deserved this. Battled hard as usual, with his team in a strife in 9 out of 10 occasions. Gets to the landmark with a tuck to mid-wicket for an easy single. Pretty surprised that he has been allowed to get to the landmark without much effort. Normally, when a batsman is in the 90s, you tend to see opposition captains keep the field tight for him. However, not today. Chase will take it though. Well played, sir.

Jomel Warrican is the next man in at number 10, replacing Bishoo. Meanwhile, Kuldeep Yadav to bowl from the other end.

Umesh Yadav to Devendra Bishoo. OUT! The stumps are a mess. India strike in the very first over of Day 2. Umesh pitches it right up to the batsman but the line is outside off. Bishoo could have left it alone but is a bit tentative as he has a prod. Gets an inside edge which shatters the stumps. Wicket number 4 for Umesh. Can he get 5?

Shardul Thakur is still not on the field. Mohammed Siraj is on for him as a substitute.

Umesh Yadav to Devendra Bishoo. The batsman appears to have been struck on the thigh pad.

Umesh Yadav to Devendra Bishoo. Full and outside off, pushed to the off side.

Umesh Yadav to Devendra Bishoo. Around off, pushed to the off side.

Umesh Yadav to Devendra Bishoo. Outside leg, angling away, Bishoo misses his tuck and is hit on the pads.

Umesh Yadav to Roston Chase. LEADING EDGE, SAFE! Chase is smiling but boy, his heart would have been in his mouth for a moment. Perhaps an aggressive field would have got India a wicket on the very first ball. On a length, around off, coming in, Roston looks to work it to the leg side but is a tad early into the shot. The ball takes the leading edge and goes to where point would have been but... the human being is stationed in the deep. An easy single and RC moves to 99...

The Indians walk out and get into a huddle. Now, the overnight batsmen stride out - Roston Chase and Devendra Bishoo. The man who is on 98, will be on strike. Umesh Yadav is marking his run up. All in readiness then. Just the sole slip for Roston. Here we go!

Umesh Yadav is caught on the sidelines before the start of play for a little chat. He says he knew the track was flat so was focusing more on the line. Adds he bowled a couple of full balls which were going slow, so he tried back of a length which worked for him. States he didn't mind bowling the extra overs since he's quite fit but feels sorry for Shardul Thakur as it's his Test debut. Ends by saying that he wants to start the day full of energy and make an impact.

PITCH REPORT - Ian Bishop is doing the pitch report. He has a look at the track and reckons that it still looks very, very good. Sunil Gavaskar now joins him. Both see a couple of cracks on the surface but the master reckons that those are near the short of a good length area. They are opening up, he agrees and opines that those will open up even more on Days 3 and 4. For today, even he feels that it is a good pitch to bat on. Does not feel too positive about any ball spinning much today but could see more as Sunday approaches.

WEATHER REPORT - The conditions look perfect for playing cricket and even more so, for batting. The hosts will be looking to dismantle the final three wickets and then put their feet up, with their batsmen aiming to score once and score big, again.

The morning seemed to indicate that we could see India's batting yesterday itself. However, some solid batting by the middle and lower middle order ensured that there was not a collapse. Small but meaningful partnerships - kept India frustrated. What was worth noting was - the amount of boundaries being scored. As many as 33 fours were hit while 2 went over the ropes. However, credit to Virat Kohli for not keeping the field spread out, even during the Chase-Holder stand.

It was a rare occurrence on Friday. An opposition team fighting hard against India in India. That too, Windies. Yes, the return of Jason Holder certainly spurred the visitors as they managed to play out an entire day after winning the toss. They just have 3 wickets left though and the first thing on their minds will be Roston Chase's century. How long can they keep India on the field? Hello and a warm welcome to the second day's play of the second Test between India and Windies in Hyderabad.

... DAY 2, SESSION 1 ...

That's all from us. Day 2 is usually considered to be the best day for batting and in all likelihood, the home team will have their turn with the willow. The pitch, in all honesty, has played excellently which was evident from the way the Windies batsmen were stroking their shots. Although there was a bit of inconsistent bounce as the day progressed. Do join us on Saturday morning at 0930 IST (0400 GMT) for all the action. Cheers!

Daren Ganga is interviewing Roston Chase. The latter says that he was timing his shots better than the first game and was trying not to overhit the ball. Admits that he was in a bit of rut before that first innings half century and that knock gave him a huge boost. On being asked about how was his mindset on losing partners today, he replies that he wasn't too bothered about what was happening at the other end and was only looking to play his own game. On also being asked about his liking for the sub-continental teams, Roston says that back home, in First Class cricket, he is used to playing a lot of spinners on pitches which are low and slow. Reckons that the pitches outside the Caribbean are much better. Hopes to get his century on Saturday and take Windies to a decent first innings total.

For India, six wickets have fallen to the bowlers with similar surnames. Kuldeep Yadav was inconsistent with his line and length but whenever he got it right, he looked dangerous. Umesh Yadav, too, was threatening, especially with the old ball which was reversing. Ravichandran Ashwin was the most accurate bowler. The offie kept it tidy and also picked the first wicket of the day. The unfortunate injury to debutant Shardul Thakur has not cost the hosts much as their three spinners shared the workload quite efficiently.

Earlier in the day, Windies won a good toss and elected to bat. They got off to a decent start but then kept on losing wickets at regular intervals. The post-Lunch session saw plenty of runs flowing as the pair of Roston Chase and Shane Dowrich attacked the Indian bowlers. The former, in particular, was very positive right from the onset. His century stand with skipper Holder dominated the evening session before Umesh Yadav struck late in the day.

98/1 in 30 overs. Another good session of Test cricket and Windies will be pleased with the outcome. However, they would have loved to have their skipper unbeaten. Anyway, Roston Chase's special affinity for India is once again on display as he is only two short of a magnificent century. The visitors have already put up a much-better batting performance than the last Test match and with three wickets left, they would wish to push their score near the 350-run mark.

Kuldeep Yadav to Roston Chase. Tossed up ball around off, turning back in, Chase forces it down to long off for a run. Roston gets to the other end thinking there will be more play. But to his surprise, umpire Ian Gould takes the bails off. No more overs to be bowled today and Chase will have a sleepless night on 98. Virat Kohli pats him on the back and now the players are leaving the field. Stumps on Day 1!

It's around the batsman's rib cage, Holder feels that he has it covered as he goes for the pull shot. But the Windies skipper fails to middle it and ends up gloving it behind. Pant catches the ball, they appeal and Holder is seen walking. Getting strangled down the leg side is not the prettiest way to get out. Virat Kohli, as usual, is pumped up.

Umesh Yadav to Roston Chase. NOT OUT! Safely in. Shortish and on off, Chase is hurried up on the back foot as he taps it down towards covers. They attempt for a run as Jadeja attacks the ball.

Shout for a run out. It's referred upstairs. No real excitement shown by the Indian players.

Drinks, an official one this time. First wicket-less hour of this Test match where 58 runs have been scored. It has been a strong performance post Tea by Windies. Both Holder and Chase have looked quite at ease and are amidst a 73-run stand. India once again have not looked too dangerous with the ball, apart from Umesh Yadav, who was getting some reverse swing going. It will be interesting to find out when they opt for the second new nut. Just 9 overs left for the close but around an hour remaining. So we SHOULD see more than 90 overs being bowled today.

The bowler gets excited in his appeal as the batsmen cross for a leg bye. Virat Kohli now has a chat with his bowler and then goes for the review. The first frame ends every doubt.

Appeal for an lbw, a vociferous one but nothing from the umpire. Has it pitched outside leg? Or turning too much? What about the impact? Too many questions, let's watch the replays...

Umesh Yadav to continue from this end. He is getting the ball to tail in which has caused some discomfort to the batsmen. A slip in place and a catching mid-wicket too is present. Play says the umpire...

... DAY 1, THIRD SESSION ...

When you pick three wickets in a session, you generally will be told, well done. It wasn't the same case here. The Indian bowling was too inconsistent. Their line and length were poor and at the beginning, they were conceding at least a boundary in every over. Given that Windies are not a great challenge for them, they can get away with it but against better teams, these things can haunt them. Do join us in a short while for the last session at 1430 local.

The visiting team adopted the mantra of 'attack is the best form of defense' post Lunch and hammered 111 runs in the afternoon session. They lost three wickets in the process but looking at their approach, they didn't look too bothered. It seems they have admitted to the fact that it's not possible to survive against India's bowling and hence are playing an aggressive brand of cricket to collect as many runs as possible. Not sure how much that will help their cause.

A mixed session, this! But from a larger point, India will be satisfied with the way this Test match has shaped up for them. Windies are six down with their total still under 200. The pitch appears to be a good one for batting and the way Shane Dowrich and Roston Chase batted, it further vindicates that point.

Ravindra Jadeja to Jason Holder. FOUR! What a way to end the session! Jadeja gives this one some extra air but lands it too full and close to off stump.

Umesh Yadav to Shane Dowrich. OUT! What a review! India have hit the jackpot to break the 69-run stand. To be honest, it never looked out to the naked eye. We thought it would have been missing leg but the replays prove all of us and the umpire wrong. Yadav gets a full length ball to nip back into the batsman from around off. Dowrich fails to flick it and is rapped on the pads. They appeal but the umpire disagrees. The Indian skipper has a chat with his bowler and the keeper before taking the DRS. The replays show that the impact is in line and it's hitting the leg pole. Still can't believe it's not missing the stumps. Anyway, can't doubt the technology. Windies have lost their sixth wicket after a brief period of resistance.

Ravindra Jadeja to Roston Chase. SIX! High and handsome! It has been a conscious effort by the Windies batsmen to attack the spinners. With wickets tumbling, not sure how good a strategy is this.

Shane Dowrich is the new batsman.

Kuldeep Yadav to Sunil Ambris. OUT! Ambris throws it away. His ultra aggressive approach has brought his downfall. Kuldeep was bowling quite a few googlies post the Lunch break and this time has struck. Ambris fails to read the variation as once again he tries to attack the spinner. Goes hard at it but the ball spins away to take the leading edge. It loops up to Jadeja at extra cover and he is not dropping these simple catches even in his sleep. Windies continue to slip. 100th international wicket for Kuldeep Yadav!

Kuldeep Yadav to Sunil Ambris. Drops it short and on middle, Ambris plays a mistimed pull shot to square leg.

Kuldeep Yadav to Sunil Ambris. A touch flatter this time around off, Ambris stays back in defense.

Roston Chase walks in at number 6, replacing Hetmyer.

Kuldeep Yadav to Shimron Hetmyer. OUT! Dead duck. Hetmyer was never comfortable against spin and it has been his undoing again. Floated outside off, Shimron thinks that it is a leg spinner and decides to shoulder arms. But to his horror, it is the googly. It comes back in and hits him slightly outside off. But impact does not matter when one has not offered a shot. Crashing into the stumps, as per Hawk Eye.

Welcome back for the afternoon session. Sunil Ambris to join Shimron Hetmyer in the middle. Umesh Yadav to complete his pending over.

... DAY 1, SECOND SESSION ...

Hard to say much about this Windies side which is full of inexperience, yet talent. You might expect them to fight hard, but then, might also see them crumble. India will look to be more consistent with their lines and lengths. The pitch is already starting to be up and down, so accuracy will help. Join us back for the second session at 0640 GMT (1210 IST).

The fielding side did its bit with the ball - trying to keep things tight but that came only from Ashwin. The two Yadavs were far too inconsistent and that allowed the pressure to ease off a little bit.

India's new-ball pair did not start well, being inconsistent and then Shardul Thakur's recurring injury caused concern. It did not take time for Ashwin to strike but the hosts simply have had to wait for the batsmen to commit mistakes. Powell threw his wicket away, Hetmyer has been keen on over-attacking while Brathwaite was beaten by spin again. Shai Hope was looking in excellent touch, up until that ball from Umesh.

Good bowling by India after being asked to field but more than that, it has been poor batting from the Windies which has made it India's session. The bowlers were largely inconsistent and just imagine - if in spite of losing three wickets, 86 runs could be added, then how the situation would have been without those dismissals.

Umesh Yadav to Shai Hope. OUT! Number 3 down! The best batsman of the session has been dismissed on what is now the final ball of the period. A length ball, around off, coming in, Hope gets across to tuck it away but misses and is hit on the pads, beaten by the pace on that ball. Umesh appeals, umpire Oxenford thinks for a while and this time, raises his finger. Hope wants a review but Hawk Eye shows all three reds - which means WINDIES GO INTO LUNCH AT 86/3! Both reviews are lost too...

Another review! This time by Shai Hope. He has been adjudged LBW. Looks plumb.

Umesh Yadav to Shai Hope. FOUR! FABULOUS! Overpitched outside off, slightly wide, Hope leans and drives it wide of mid off. Prithvi Shaw dives to his left but in vain.

Umesh Yadav to Shai Hope. A length ball, pitches and creates an explosion, perhaps hitting a crack, defended from the crease.

Ravindra Jadeja to Shimron Hetmyer. Around off, defended from the crease.

Umesh Yadav to Shai Hope. SAFE, UMPIRE'S CALL! The margin was not much. Could have gone either way. On a length outside off, Hope looked to play that from the crease but missed and was hit on the pads. Umesh screamed in an LBW appeal but Bruce Oxenford was calm. Kohli then had a chat with Pujara who convinced him to go for the review. Hawk Eye shows the ball to be clipping the top of the stumps, which means umpire's call will stay and so will India's review.

HOWZZAT? India have made a huge LBW shout against Hope. Umpire Oxenford has not given it and Kohli has reviewed it. Height might be a factor...

Umesh Yadav to Shai Hope. Outside off, left alone.

Umesh Yadav to Shai Hope. Full on middle, Shai turns it towards mid-wicket and sets off for a single. But on seeing Jadeja prowl over there, Hetmyer sends him back. Hope just about gets in as Jadeja misses his shy at the striker's end.

Umesh Yadav to Shai Hope. The batsman defends it from within the crease.

Ravindra Jadeja to Shai Hope. FOUR OVERTHROWS! FIVE RUNS IN ALL. Wild throw from Ashwin. Full on middle, Hope pushes it towards mid on and takes Ashwin on. The fielder comes in slowly, gets to the ball and then has a shy at the bowler's end. Jadeja moves away but the throw is well wide of the sticks and poor Prithvi Shaw at silly point has no chance as the ball races to his right. Hanuma Vihari tries to stop it from backward point but it is wide of him too!

Ravindra Jadeja to Shai Hope. Around middle, pushed towards mid on.

Kuldeep Yadav to Shai Hope. Full and around off, watchfully defended.

Umesh Yadav to Shimron Hetmyer. FOUR! No ball movement, no feet movement, just pure hand-eye co-ordination. A length ball, wide outside off, Hetmyer just reaches out for that and hits it through the covers. India will not mind that much.

Umesh Yadav to Shimron Hetmyer. Outside off, left alone.

Umesh Yadav to Shimron Hetmyer. Another one keeps low! This is the second time in two overs that we have seen instances of low bounce. This is just Day 1. On a length around off, Shimron looks to defend from the crease but the ball scoots low. Would have been plumb LBW but the bat came down at the last minute. The ball goes off the outside edge to gully. Umesh smiles with his hands on his head.

Umesh Yadav to Shimron Hetmyer. That is a beauty. Umesh lands it on a length outside off and Hetmyer is forced to play at that. He is squared up but the ball beats the outside edge.

Umesh Yadav to Shai Hope. Punches this wide of Kuldeep Yadav at mid off for a quick single.

Umesh Yadav to Shai Hope. Full and around off, flicked straight to short mid-wicket.

Change in pace. Change of bowling. Umesh Yadav us back on. 6-1-18-0 so far.

Kuldeep Yadav to Shimron Hetmyer. LUCKY ESCAPE! Mindless batting. Floated around middle, Hetmyer attempts a slog sweep without even getting to the pitch of the ball. Gets a leading edge but luckily for him, the ball evades backward point. A couple taken.

Kuldeep Yadav to Shimron Hetmyer. Excellent keeping! Short and outside off, Hetmyer looks to cut but the ball stays low, beating the batsman. However, Rishabh Pant behind collects it cleanly.

Kuldeep Yadav to Shimron Hetmyer. The batsman defends it from within the crease.

Shimron Hetmyer walks in at number 4, replacing Brathwaite.

Kuldeep Yadav to Kraigg Brathwaite. OUT! LBW! As plumb as it gets. Waste of a review. Perhaps Brathwaite expected another googly but this time it was a leg spinner. He went slightly across to defend this flighted ball but could not quite cover the line. The ball missed the bat and then came back in slightly to hit the back pad, right in front of off stump. Kuldeep appeals and umpire Gould sends Brathwaite on his way. He is happy to go but his partner reckons that he should review that - perhaps he felt that the impact was outside off. Hawk Eye disagrees. Two down for the Windies then and we are still some time away from Lunch.

Brathwaite adjudged LBW now! He has taken the review as well. Looks dead. Is the impact outside off? Is there an inside edge?

Kuldeep Yadav to Kraigg Brathwaite. EDGED, BUT SAFE! The wrong 'un, outside off, Brathwaite does not pick it and goes back to play. Is caught in his crease and is squared up. However, he plays with soft hands, hence the outside edge does not carry to Ajinkya Rahane at first slip.

Kuldeep Yadav to Shai Hope. Full on middle, flicked wide of Virat Kohli at short mid-wicket, wide of mid on for a run.

Kuldeep Yadav to Shai Hope. FOUR! THUMP! Spare a thought for Prithi Shaw at short leg. It is a long hop and Hope pulls it with aplomb, just over Shaw and gets a boundary to deep mid-wicket.

Hanuma Vihari, who is on for Thakur, hares after it from square leg, gets to the ball and then pulls it back in with a slide near the ropes. Two runs taken. The stand is worth 10 now.

Ravichandran Ashwin to Shai Hope. Full and around off, watchfully flicked towards short mid-wicket.

Ravichandran Ashwin to Shai Hope. Full and around off, Hope lunges and defends.

Well, seems like something has happened on the ground. Judging the crowd's reaction, it seems like a streaker has made his/her presence. Ian Gould has his hands on Virat Kohli's shoulders who does not seem amused at all. It is taking a while for the situation to calm down, hence DRINKS have been called for. A good hour for both sides. India have largely maintained control over proceedings but at least, the Windies have not imploded. They have lost Kieran Powell trying to attack too much but then have not thrown it away so far. The hosts will be worried about Shardul Thakur's injury - it may not affect them in this Test but it is not a great sign if your debutant goes off in his very second over.

Shai Hope walks in at number 3, replacing Powell.

Ravichandran Ashwin to Kieran Powell. OUT! Caught. Ashwin strikes first. In just his 4th over. Tossed up outside off, Powell comes down the track and looks to go over cover. However, Ashwin has smartly bowled it wider, hence the southpaw has to reach out. Cannot quite time it well and all Ravindra Jadeja has to do at cover is to make a slight leap. Simple catch. The approach to attack the spinner is okay but the pre-meditation cost Powell his wicket. Also, was there any need to go aerial so early? Meanwhile, ASHWIN HAS PICKED UP HIS 500TH FIRST CLASS WICKET.

Umesh Yadav to Kraigg Brathwaite. Much fuller, pushed towards mid on.

Ravichandran Ashwin to Kraigg Brathwaite. Outside off, left alone.

Ravichandran Ashwin to Kraigg Brathwaite. Huge appeal for a catch! Umpire Oxenford is unmoved. Tossed up around middle and leg, Brathwaite looked to flick but missed. There was a noise as the ball went past the pad and Rishabh Pant collected and whipped the bails off. Then he appealed for the catch. Snickometer shows daylight between bat and ball.

Umesh Yadav to Kieran Powell. Now a bouncer, around middle, Powell just about ducks in time.

Umesh Yadav to Kieran Powell. Terrific bowling! Wow. You don't see too many bowlers going for the yorker with the new ball but Umesh has done just that. He has come charging from around the wicket and fired in a yorker. Clearly catches the batsman by surprise who just about manages to dig it out.

Umesh Yadav to Kieran Powell. Around off, coming in with the angle, watchfully defended.

Umesh Yadav to Kieran Powell. EDGED, FOUR! A bit streaky from Powell again. Full and wide outside off, the southpaw looks to drive but gets a thick outside edge. It flies between gully and point and races to the third man fence.

Ravichandran Ashwin to Kieran Powell. Full and just around off, Kieran comes down the track and blocks.

Ravichandran Ashwin to Kieran Powell. DECISION OVERTURNED! Big inside edge. No wonder Powell went up straightaway. The ball was pitched outside off, came back in a touch, Powell looked to defend but got hit on the pads. Umpire Oxenford felt that was close and raised his finger. Powell wanted to have a second look and the first replay detects the inside edge. So big that no Snickometer is needed for the third umpire.

Powell has been adjudged LBW! He has taken the review though.

Umesh Yadav to Kraigg Brathwaite. The batsman shoulders arms to let that one through.

Umesh Yadav to Kraigg Brathwaite. Outside off, on a length, left alone. That generates extra bounce after bouncing.

Ravichandran Ashwin to Kieran Powell. FOUR! THRASH! No half measures. Tossed up slightly, around off Powell, confident after his previous knock in Rajkot, steps out of the crease. Gets to the pitch of the ball and dismisses it from his presence, by bashing it over the non-striker. Mid on has no chance.

Ravichandran Ashwin to Kieran Powell. Full and just around off, watchfully defended.

Oops... problems for Thakur. After bowling that previous ball, he started to limp and straightaway, the physio has been called. AND HE IS GOING OFF. Ravichandran Ashwin to finish Thakur's over.

Shardul Thakur to Kieran Powell. FOUR! JUST OVER! A taller man would have taken that. Full and wide outside off, Powell reaches out to drive and ends up slicing it. The ball is in the air, towards backward point where Prithvi Shaw leaps but his height just does not allow him to get anywhere near the ball.

Shardul Thakur to Kieran Powell. The batsman has played that off the front foot and into the ground.

Shardul Thakur to Kieran Powell. FOUR! A bit streaky. On a length outside off, Powell looks to defend with an open bat-face and the ball runs off the outside edge, behind point and races to the third man fence. Prithvi Shaw gives it a good chase from backward point and then tries to dive at the last moment, near the ropes but collides into the advertisement boards instead. He gets up gingerly, holding his right shoulder but seems fine.

Shardul Thakur to Kieran Powell. Full on middle, flicked towards mid-wicket.

Umesh Yadav to Kraigg Brathwaite. Around off, on a length, tucked towards mid-wicket.

Shardul Thakur to Kieran Powell. On the leg side, flicked towards square leg for a single.

Shardul Thakur to Kieran Powell. Full and around middle, tailing in, pushed towards Ravichandran Ashwin at mid on.

Shardul Thakur to Kieran Powell. Similar ball, let through again.

Shardul Thakur to Kieran Powell. Closer than the previous one, outside off, left alone.

Shardul Thakur to Kieran Powell. Full and miles outside off, almost outside the pitch, left alone. Bruce Oxenford is a kind-hearted man. Does not want to mark the first ball in Test cricket from the debutant as an illegal delivery. That might have been wided in a normal scenario...

Debutant Shardul Thakur to share the new ball with Umesh.

Umesh Yadav to Kraigg Brathwaite. This is wider than the previous one, easily left alone. Expensive start from Umesh - primarily because he was inconsistent.

Umesh Yadav to Kraigg Brathwaite. On a length outside off, good bounce, Kraigg shoulders arms.

Umesh Yadav to Kraigg Brathwaite. FOUR! A half volley on the pads, Brathwaite flicks it uppishly, just wide of mid-wicket and earns the second boundary of the innings.

Umesh Yadav to Kraigg Brathwaite. Better from Umesh, lands it on a length, just around off, the right-hander defends.

Umesh Yadav to Kraigg Brathwaite. FOUR! A loosener to start. On the pads, Brathwaite just tickles it fine past the keeper and gets Windies going with a boundary to fine leg.

We are done with the anthems. Let us play. Kraigg Brathwaite and Kieran Powell to open up for the Windies. Umesh Yadav to start off with the new ball to the former. Here we go!!!

The players are stepping out for their national anthems. The Windies one first, followed by the Indian anthem.

Kohli says that he would have batted first as well, since it looks like a good pitch. Then says he is not too bothered about the toss as the pitch in Hyderabad stays the same throughout. On India's focus, Virat says that the main aim is to do the regular things correctly and to precision. Informs that Shami has been rested as he has been playing 6 Tests in a row and has bowled quite a lot of overs. Adds that the seamer is replaced by Shardul Thakur.

Holder reckons that the decision to bat first is because it looks a pretty good wicket to bat on. Adds that the batsmen need to see off the juice in the first hour and then bat well in good conditions. Admits that it was tough sitting out watching the last game and hopes to do well here. Stresses that the team is pumped up to do well too. Informs that Sherman Lewis and Keemo Paul miss out and are replaced by himself and Jomel Warrican. (Interesting - after all the hype, Roach does not find a place in the XI).

TOSS - It is time for the spin of the coin. The good news for the Windies is that JASON HOLDER is back. Virat Kohli flips it, Holder calls HEADS and it is a HEAD. WINDIES ELECT TO BAT FIRST.

WEATHER - The conditions are bright and sunny. Usually, in this part of the year, it does not rain, but considering that this is the southern territory of India which actually gets a taste of both - Southwest and Northeast monsoons - you never know, we might get an odd shower here and there, though the forecast does not suggest anything of that sort.

Another cricketing weekend is here! After the royal drubbing in Rajkot, can the Windies change or tweak the script a bit in Hyderabad? The good news for them is that both Holder and Roach are in good shape to play and that should raise the hopes of a better display. India, on the other hand, will aim for another clinical performance. They have retained the same XII as the previous one, making a strong statement that they are going to field their best XI, not just give chances to players. Will it be another ruthless show? Hello and a warm welcome to the second Test between India and Windies in Hyderabad.

What can we expect post Lunch? The pitch has already started to crumble and do not be surprised, if the Windies lose wickets quickly. On the flip side, if the tourists manage to get around 150 runs today and then try and reach upto 200 tomorrow, we could have a game on our hands. Join us back at 1225 local (0655 GMT).

India will be disappointed, to say the least. They had two overnight batsmen, then two more in Ashwin and Jadeja to follow. They would have targetted 400 at least but that last wicket stand gives them something to smile. Now a lead of 56, could have been around 30. In a one-inning shootout, every run is priceless. Credit to Ashwin for hanging in there and not throwing it away. Bigger credit to Thakur and the team management for taking the decision to bat.

Jason Holder was clearly the pick of the bowlers, with a 5-fer but the Windies clearly missed Kemar Roach. The decision to pick Jomel Warrican ahead of the in-form Roach has backfired big time and the tourists will hope that the left-arm spinner does better in the final innings. Gabriel picked up three but was nowhere near his best.

The hosts started the day confidently but then suddenly encountered a nightmare in Jason Holder. He took charge of the second new ball and removed Rahane and Jadeja in quick succession, before Gabriel accounted for Pant. All these without giving away too much runs. The visitors then kept taking wickets and had India on the mat, before Ashwin and Thakur provided a 28-run resistance.

India will smile a bit on the last wicket fightback but overall, it has been Windies' session. They were probably staring at a lead of 100-150 overnight but this morning, they bowled with venom and have restricted the hosts to a lead of 56. The fielding was excellent as well.

Shannon Gabriel to Ravichandran Ashwin. OUT! The middle stump is out of the ground. Gabriel ends India's resistance. A length ball just outside off, Ashwin looks to defend but the cherry lands on a crack and then zoots in. Past the bat and crash. INDIA GET A LEAD OF 56!

Shannon Gabriel to Ravichandran Ashwin. That bounced. On a length outside off, Ashwin looks to defend but the ball rises steeply and hits the bat on the handle. Ashwin felt the jarring on the impact and immediately took his right hand off.

Shannon Gabriel to Ravichandran Ashwin. FOUR! Easy runs. A full toss, on middle, Ashwin just clips it through mid-wicket. There are two men in the deep - at square leg and mid-wicket. However, Shimron Hetmyer at the latter position runs around the ball, instead of across it and ends up chasing it, instead of cutting it off.

Shannon Gabriel to Ravichandran Ashwin. Full and outside off, Ashwin comes forward to defend but gets squared up. The ball runs off the outside edge behind point towards third man. They do not run.

Devendra Bishoo to Shardul Thakur. Full and on middle, well played by Thakur back to Bishoo.

Devendra Bishoo to Shardul Thakur. Short and outside off, punched through the covers. Ashwin wants a run but then changes his mind.

Devendra Bishoo to Ravichandran Ashwin. Another long hop, punched towards long on and this time they run.

Shannon Gabriel to Ravichandran Ashwin. Full and straight, RA misses his flick and gets hit on the pads. Gabriel puts in an appeal but it is turned down because it is going down. The ball, that is.

Shannon Gabriel to Ravichandran Ashwin. Another bouncer, this is ducked under.

Shannon Gabriel to Ravichandran Ashwin. TOP EDGE, FOUR! INDIA'S LEAD TOUCHES 50! This last wicket stand is worth 22 from 31 balls. Crucial, useful runs. Not Gabriel's mistake at all. He tests Ashwin with a bouncer and cramps him for room. The batsman goes for the pull but gets a top edge through fine leg which bounces just before the ropes.

Shannon Gabriel to Ravichandran Ashwin. The batsman shows the full face of the bat and defends the ball off the back foot.

Shannon Gabriel to Ravichandran Ashwin. Lazy from Jomel Warrican. A short ball outside off, Ashwin punches this through the covers. Should have been just a single, but Warrican takes his own sweet time from long off, gets to the ball, then slides and gets up taking a lot of time. Enough to ensure that India hobble back for the second.

Devendra Bishoo to Shardul Thakur. A short ball, on middle, Thakur pulls it with one hand towards deep mid-wicket. Jomel Warrican in the deep had to cover some distance to his left but India do not run. Probably Ashwin thought they did not have enough time to get two. So a dot ball.

Devendra Bishoo to Ravichandran Ashwin. Comes down the track and pushes the ball towards mid on. Takes a quick single, makes it easily at the bowler's end but poor Shardul has to test his weak hamstring. Just about makes it.

Devendra Bishoo to Ravichandran Ashwin. Full and around off, pushed back to the bowler.

Devendra Bishoo to Ravichandran Ashwin. The batsman has defended it by getting right behind the line of the delivery.

Devendra Bishoo to Ravichandran Ashwin. Around off, defended from the crease.

Devendra Bishoo is given an opportunity now. 19-4-72-0 so far.

Shannon Gabriel to Ravichandran Ashwin. TOP EDGE, SAFE! Could have been a run out too! Luck is with India and Ashwin at the moment. A short ball, around off, Ashwin looks to pull but gets a top edge as he is cramped for room again. However, such is his luck that the edge is so limp, that Shimron Hetmyer cannot get to it even from short mid-wicket! He misfields too, which allows Thakur to limp across. Had Hetmyer fielded it properly, India would have been bowled out with a run out at the striker's end.

Shannon Gabriel to Ravichandran Ashwin. FOUR! Deft guide! Not a bad shot from Ashwin at all. The ball is on a length outside off and it comes in, cramping him slightly for room. But great presence of mind from the all-rounder to realize that the ball is not bouncing much. Just opens the face of the bat and guides it over gully to third man! Gabriel smiles. The stand moves to 10 now.

The field comes in now.

Shannon Gabriel to Ravichandran Ashwin. Full and outside off, driven towards long off. Again, they do not run.

Okay. So Windies will not be batting in this session, given that 10 minutes are left. However, if the last wicket is not taken by 1130 local, then Lunch will be extended by half an hour. Here is Shannon Gabriel. 18-1-91-2 so far.

Jomel Warrican to Shardul Thakur. Full and around off, pushed towards the bowler.

Jomel Warrican to Shardul Thakur. Full and around off, Thakur leans and works it wide of mid on for a single.

Jason Holder to Ravichandran Ashwin. A big heave-ho. Not sure why. A length ball outside off, RA backs away and swings hard, only to miss.

Jason Holder to Ravichandran Ashwin. Around off, coming in, punched towards mid on.

Jason Holder to Ravichandran Ashwin. Yes-yes, no-no. On a length around middle, Ashwin pushes it towards long on. He sets off for a single but Shardul has not taken a start. He then starts to limp across and now Ashwin stops, because he is not sure whether Thakur can make it to the other end before the throw comes in. So he sends his partner back.

Jason Holder to Ravichandran Ashwin. Full on middle, Ashwin flicks it towards short mid-wicket.

Jason Holder to Ravichandran Ashwin. Full and outside off, driven towards long off. THEY DO NOT RUN.

Shardul Thakur is the last man in, braving his injury and the heat.

Jomel Warrican to Umesh Yadav. OUT! Caught behind! Warrican has his second. He has been trying endlessly to get batsmen driving and caught behind, and eventually gets one. Slightly short, outside off, Umesh looks to cut but only gets a thick nick behind. Luckily for Windies, that sticks. Jahmar Hamilton almost spills this one too. Ashwin is disappointed. INDIA'S LEAD READS 28.

Jomel Warrican to Umesh Yadav. Full and around off, watchfully defended.

Jason Holder to Ravichandran Ashwin. Outside off, Ashwin taps it to the off side. Umesh wants a single but is sent back. The fielder from gully comes charging in and then has a shy at the bowler's end, only to miss. Umesh was in though.

Jason Holder to Ravichandran Ashwin. Nearly his 6th! Lucky miss for Ashwin. On a length around off, RA gets across to defend but the ball sneaks in, takes the inside edge, hits the pads and almost hits the stumps! Drops beside them, to his relief.

Jason Holder to Ravichandran Ashwin. Much fuller, defended watchfully.

Jason Holder to Ravichandran Ashwin. Ahhh... on a length outside off, Ashwin looks to steer it towards third man but is beaten due to the extra bounce. Almost nicked it behind.

Jomel Warrican to Umesh Yadav. Lovely loop! What a change of pace too. Warrican tosses this beautifully, well over the batsman's eyeline, outside off. Umesh's eyes light up, as he looks to play the slog sweep. But the ball is so slow, 65 kph to be precise, that he cannot delay his shot any further and ends up missing it altogether!

Jomel Warrican to Umesh Yadav. Full and just outside off, well defended.

Jomel Warrican to Ravichandran Ashwin. Comes down the track and flicks it through mid-wicket for a single.

Jason Holder to Umesh Yadav. Full and straight, well kept out by UY, towards mid on.

Jason Holder to Umesh Yadav. Similar ball, this time there is not much movement, though Yadav did not play at this one either.

One Yadav replaces another. Umesh comes out at number 10, replacing Kuldeep.

Jason Holder to Kuldeep Yadav. OUT! Lock, stock and barrel! Holder has five! The good morning continues to get better for the Windies skipper. This is real fast bowling, on a not-so-fast pitch. Holder maintains his line outside off and the length is good as well. Kuldeep looks to defend, thinking that he has covered the line but to his dismay, the ball jags back in off the seam. Beats the bat, beats the pad but does not beat the stumps. Uproots the off stump as if a missile has struck. Terrific. 5th 5-wicket haul in Tests for Holder, 4th in 2018!

Jason Holder to Kuldeep Yadav. Back of a length delivery around off, Kuldeep looks to force it through the off side but is done in by the bounce. The ball rolls off the inner half towards mid-wicket.

Jason Holder to Kuldeep Yadav. Outside off, played straight to point.

Jason Holder to Kuldeep Yadav. On a length, around middle, coming in, KY misses his tuck and is hit on the pads.

Jason Holder to Kuldeep Yadav. Full and just around off, watchfully defended.

Jason Holder to Kuldeep Yadav. Banana swing! Something which my colleague GG will not like. He is suffering from cold, you see. So no bananas for him, though he is ready to have a milkshake. Anyways, coming to the ball. Holder comes from around the wicket and bowls a fuller length outside off. The ball curls a long way into the left-hander, though Kuldeep watches it till the last moment and blocks. Strangely, only Holder has been able to extract any movement so far.

Drinks break. Probably the best start Windies could have asked for this morning. Have picked up 3 wickets via Jason Holder (2) and Shannon Gabriel (1) to make their way back in this contest. Still plenty left, mind. Ashwin is out there with Kuldeep and the pair can bat. The Indians will be looking to get a lead around 50-60 runs. Will this partnership add valuable runs or will the tourists wrap the home side up before the end of the session? Also, Jason Holder is back into the attack.

Jomel Warrican to Ravichandran Ashwin. Oooh! Close. Ashwin survives again. Loopy and fuller outside off, he gets a leading edge which goes aerially towards covers. Falls short of the fielder there though and Ashwin survives.

Second slip comes out and moves to deep mid-wicket.

Shannon Gabriel to Kuldeep Yadav. Angling in on middle and leg, nudged to mid-wicket for a run.

Shannon Gabriel to Kuldeep Yadav. FOUR! Gabriel pitches this right up and Kuldeep is expecting this. He drives it through the gap in the covers.

Shannon Gabriel to Kuldeep Yadav. Back of a length on off, blocked with the full face of the bat.

Shannon Gabriel to Kuldeep Yadav. Bumper on off, deviating in the air. Goes away slightly and beats the outside edge of Kuldeep's hanging bat.

Kuldeep Yadav walks into the middle next. A short leg is in place for him.

Shannon Gabriel to Rishabh Pant. OUT! What a superb catch! Rishabh Pant is dismissed for 92, missing out on a hundred again. Oh, dear. How unfortunate for him. Gabriel pounds it in short outside off and Pant rises to punch this aerially on the off side. Can't keep it down and the placement isn't as good as he would have expected. A bit too close to Hetmyer, who still has a lot of work to do. He moves to his right swiftly and takes an excellent diving catch. Windies back in this game. They'll look to clean the tail up ASAP now.

Shannon Gabriel to Rishabh Pant. Short ball on off, blocked right under his eye-line.

Jason Holder to Ravichandran Ashwin. NOT OUT! UMPIRE'S CALL! Ashwin has been saved by a hair's breadth. Holder nearly had three in the over. The second new ball is talking. On a length outside off, Ashwin gets across, looking to tuck but the cherry moves in a long way and misses the bat, hitting the pad. Holder appeals, umpire Ian Gould thinks for a while but then shakes his head. He is dejected a touch, has a chat with his mates and then goes for the review. Umpire's call shows Hawk Eye when it comes to hitting the stumps. Same as Jadeja. Both batsmen could have been given out. Both could have been given not out. Of course, if Jadeja had been given not out, then Ashwin would not have faced this ball at all... just going through the motions.

Review taken. Ashwin has been adjudged not out by umpire Ian Gould, but Holder reckons it is LBW. Is it missing leg?

Jason Holder to Ravichandran Ashwin. Outside off on a good length, left alone by Ashwin.

Ravichandran Ashwin is in next to bat.

Jason Holder to Ravindra Jadeja. OUT! GONE! Second of the over for Holder and he's on fire here. The new ball working wonders for him and Windies. What a start for them. Once again pitches it outside off and it swings in a long way, Jadeja without much foot movement looks to defend it from the front foot but is caught flush in front of the stumps. A loud appeal and the finger goes up without wasting any time. India in a spot of bother now.

Jason Holder to Ravindra Jadeja. Appreciable movement from Holder. Lands it outside off and it comes back in a long way, Jadeja covers the line and lets it be.

Ravindra Jadeja is the next batsman in.

Jason Holder to Ajinkya Rahane. OUT! GONE! Will you look at that? A much better line with the new ball and Jason Holder reaps the benefits. Back of a length delivery around off which shoots off the deck, Rahane is taken by surprise and awkwardly fends it away. It goes off the outer half and flies straight to Hope at gully. Rahane is asked to wait for a second to see if the Windies captain overstepped his line and replays show he's fine. So a fine knock from Rahane comes to an end.

Rahane has been caught. The umpires though are checking for the front foot no ball, to nobody's surprise.

Shannon Gabriel to Rishabh Pant. Switches the angle again, length ball on off and it's defended well by Pant right beside him.

Shannon Gabriel to Ajinkya Rahane. Short of a good length outside off, Rahane gets on top of the bounce and punches it to deep point. Single to the total.

Shannon Gabriel to Ajinkya Rahane. Over the wicket now. Width on offer, Rahane cuts this fiercely but it's fine stop from Shai Hope at short third man. The placement wasn't as good, a bit too close to him, but it came at him fast. He reacted well to his right to make a stop.

Shannon Gabriel to Rishabh Pant. Touch fullish outside off, pushed into the covers for a single.

Shannon Gabriel to Rishabh Pant. Rising from a good length, on off, gets more meat on it as he defends it down on the leg side.

Shannon Gabriel to bowl from the other end and share the second new ball.

Jason Holder to Ajinkya Rahane. Down the leg side on this occasion, Rahane looks to flick but misses. A wasted over with the new ball in all honesty. Holder needs to do better.

Jason Holder to Ajinkya Rahane. On the sixth stump line, no way Ajinkya will have anything to do with that.

Jason Holder to Ajinkya Rahane. Behind a length, close to off, it's safely kept out off the back foot.

Jason Holder to Ajinkya Rahane. Coming in at first and then shaping away, around off, Rahane stays behind the line and defends.

Jason Holder to Ajinkya Rahane. FOUR! First runs of the morning. Fuller in length and outside off, Rahane takes a step forward and plays a punchy-drive through the covers. The fielders give it a chase, but can't get to it in time. The stand moves to 150 with that and also, India are in the lead.

Jason Holder to Ajinkya Rahane. Too straight in line as Holder sprays it on the pads, Rahane flicks it straight to mid-wicket.

Not surprising. THE SECOND NEW BALL HAS BEEN TAKEN STRAIGHTAWAY. Jason Holder to make the first use of it. Rahane to face. Let's play!

The Windies get into a customary huddle. No Shane Dowrich still, as we see Jahmar Hamilton ready with his keeping gloves. Out come the overnight batsmen - Rishabh Pant and Ajinkya Rahane.

The away side was no clinical enough, but it did have its moments. Managed to wickets at regular intervals, before the huge (unbeaten) Rahane-Pant stand. Spin kept a check on the leaking, will pace back it up though? A lot rides on it. A couple of early wickets this morning could swing the tide in their favour. We'll see how things unfold.

The tie still lies very much in the balance. You could say India are ahead at the moment, but one or two more wickets could change the complexion of the game. The Windies weren't very good with the ball and in the field, to say the least, on Day 2. Some lacklustre displays on their part has seen the hosts come close to the total they posted on the board. Will they manage to take a big lead today? We shall find out. Hello and welcome, folks, for what should be another entertaining day of Test cricket.

... Day 3, First Session ...

Right then! The game has moved ahead slightly. India still in a good position to take a lead close to 100 on Sunday but considering that it is a Day 3 pitch, you can never rule out explosions. If India are restricted to 350, we might be in for a one-inning shootout. Join us at 0930 local (0400 GMT) for all the action. ADIOS! TAKE CARE!

The young opener says he was just trying to play his natural game but couldn't convert it into a big one. Adds he enjoyed it though and it was a good batting surface. States that from U-16 level he's been trying to play the ball on its merit, which is his strength. Stresses that he does not want to get confused by thinking too much and intends to continue playing the way he is. Reckons that Gabriel and Holder were bowling quickly, so he just tried to use their pace and find the gaps as best as he could. On his dismissal, he informs that he was just trying to hit it to the left of the cover fielder but the ball was a little away from him, so he couldn't control it. Wants to learn from that and not repeat the same mistake again. Ends by mentioning that it (his dismissal) was a silly shot, so he won't be repeating it in his next innings.

Earlier in the day, Roston Chase managed to get his century but could not quite add much with the tail. Prithvi Shaw then set the stadium alight with a blitzkrieg 70 from just 53 balls. He looked to get consecutive centuries but one false shot brought about his downfall. This is what he has to say as Sanjay Manjrekar has a chat with him.

The Windies had their chances. They had India in a spot of bother at 162/4 with Kohli gone but then fluffed a simple chance offered by Pant. The result was toil and more toil. Jason Holder was the pick of the bowlers with 2/45 while the rest lost the plot during the Pant-Rahane stand.

Pant and Rahane started the final session cautiously but as the period progressed, the former started to get into his own. In a partnership of 146, the southpaw has scored 85. 135 runs came in the final session in 34 overs. The wicketkeeper batsman was in particular, hard on the bowling while Rahane was just content in blocking and milking the bowling.

Superb stuff from India. They have showed why they are such a great force to reckon with. The main in-form batsmen were dismissed around Tea time but then we witnessed a stunning fightback.

The deficit is now 26 while the stand is worth 123.

Jomel Warrican to Rishabh Pant. MISTIMED, BUT SIX! Full and around off, Pant gets down and looks to mow. He is not able to get to the pitch of the ball and miscues it. It is high in the air, seems to have got more elevation than distance but just about clears long on.

... DAY 2, SESSION 3 ...

India are not behind by much, but they just need to be a bit more careful here. This pitch is such that a wicket could lead to a couple more and if the Windies manage to break the Rahane-Pant stand quickly, they could suddenly start thinking about the lead. On the flip side, if Pant gets going, that deficit could come down pretty quickly. Batting in the second innings is not going to be easy at all. Stay tuned for the final session, where 34 overs are scheduled to be bowled.

Excellent bowling from Jomel Warrican in particular. He managed to get the big wicket of Prithvi Shaw and then, stifled the scoring. Bishoo has been equally economical, with figures of 11-4-28-0. So the plan from the Windies is quite clear - dry out the runs and induce mistakes from the batsmen.

The session started with Prithvi Shaw resuming his run-scoring panache but once he was dismissed, the visitors found their way back into the game a bit. They dried out the runs, got a few maiden overs on the trot and then, just before Tea, Holder managed to nip out his counterpart.

Well, the session figures read 93 runs in 31 overs for three wickets but we can split that into two halves. 53 runs came in 14 overs till the Drinks break but after that, it has been a real struggle to score runs. The Windies have been disciplined and economical and as a result, eked out a few wickets.

This could be the last over before Tea...

Devendra Bishoo to Rishabh Pant. SAFE. The foot was in the air but it came down before the bails could be dislodged. Pant ran down the track but Bishoo smartly bowled a leg spinner, slightly wider than the batsman would have anticipated. Rishabh is beaten in the flight but he does one thing correctly - does not go through with his shot, just tries to defend. As a result, he gets time to drag his foot back in. Substitute Jahmar Hamilton is not the quickest. After it is referred upstairs, there is a bit of an issue with the overstepping but a closer look indicates that the ball is fine.

Is that a stumping? Pant looks to be home... referred upstairs...

It goes upstairs and replays show the ball to be clipping the leg stump. So, he's gone. Timely strike for the tourists.

The DRS has been taken. Big moment in the game as Virat Kohli is caught leg before. Height is the only thing that can save him. Maybe missing leg? Let's see...

Ajinkya Rahane joins his skipper in the middle, coming in at number 5.

Shannon Gabriel to Cheteshwar Pujara. OUT! Caught behind! There you go - one wicket brings another! Big blow by Gabriel. He lands it on a length outside off, but it is wide enough to be left alone. Pujara though, wants to have a poke and gets a thin edge behind, because the footwork is not the greatest. He was reaching for the ball. Substitute keeper Hamilton collects and straightaway appeals. Gabriel does not even bother appealing but someone has, hence the umpire raises his finger! India trail by 209. Have the Windies got an opening?

Jomel Warrican to Prithvi Shaw. OUT! He has thrown it away! Shaw will be gutted with himself. A loose shot in a nearly flawless innings. Full and outside off, a bit tossed up, a bit wide, Shaw cannot resist and goes hard on the drive. Cannot keep it down and finds Shimron Hetmyer at extra cover. You can look at this shot in two ways - a. Oh Shaw! What have you done? Or b. Well played, Shaw. You have again given India a motoring start. The dressing room stands up and applauds the youngster. How will the Windies be feeling? Relieved to see his back? Or the sense of more pain on seeing who is coming in next? The Indian skipper, that is.

Jomel Warrican to Prithvi Shaw. FOUR! FLAMBOYANT! Full and outside off, Shaw leans and drives it wide of mid off for a boundary!

Shannon Gabriel to bowl from the other end. 3-1-20-0 so far. Trust me, those 3 overs took a lonngggg time to be bowled.

Roston Chase to Cheteshwar Pujara. Another one to the fielder. Around middle, helped towards backward square leg once more.

Roston Chase to Cheteshwar Pujara. Fullish on middle, this is flicked to short mid-wicket now.

Roston Chase to Cheteshwar Pujara. This is around off, Pujara gets a long way across and flicks - but straight to backward square leg again.

We are back after the Luncheon interval. Will we see any better effort in the field from the Windies? The players are slowly making their way out. Roston Chase will start off things after Lunch. Shaw to face. Here we go!

... DAY 2, SESSION 2 ...

With such an attacking beginning, India now trail by 231. The pitch is starting to play tricks and hence, this sort of cricket could be the best option on this track. Because you never know, a wicket here could trigger a couple more. Join us back at 1210 local (0640 GMT).

Nothing much to talk about the Windies' bowling. The opening over went for 15 runs and that set the tone. It has looked nothing short of listless and the only wicket that they have got has been because of Rahul's misjudgement. They might have had Shaw but right now, Midas has been reborn in the form of the Mumbai lad.

Prithvi Shaw is the man for the future for India. The young genes in him have made his team take the bull by the horns. On a pitch where Rahul was tentative, Pujara has not yet looked free-flowing, this lad is in his zone. Has an array of shots and is displaying those for everyone to see.

What a session for India. Started by Umesh. Finished by Shaw. The Windies might have scored 311 but they look totally downcast at the moment.

Jomel Warrican to Cheteshwar Pujara. Full and around off, watchfully kept out. LUNCH ON DAY 2, INDIA TRAIL BY 231 RUNS!

Now, just 72 runs remain for India to win this game and 16 overs left in the day. Clearly it's a matter of when and not if now. Fancy India to win this game today itself? Or will Windies somehow manage to drag this into Day 4? Maybe some quick wickets early on to shake the Indians up a bit? We'll see what happens. If the hosts get close to the set target, play can be extended by 30 minutes to allow them to finish it off on Day 3 only. Join us on the other side of the break for the final innings of this match.

Pretty much India's match now. What a session for the home side. Incredible. They have bowled the Windies out inside two sessions with Umesh Yadav leading the charge again with a 4-wicket haul. He and Ashwin started things off and rocked the visitors early. There was some resistance provided, which involved Hope, Hetmyer, Chase, Ambris and Holder, all at different times of course, but it obviously wasn't enough. All the Indian bowlers chipped in with the wickets, with the pacer Yadav standing out as he got a 10-fer in this game.

Umesh Yadav to Shannon Gabriel. OUT! Yes, he can! A 10-fer for Umesh. His first in Tests. Just one ball of his new spell was what it took for him to get it. He bowls it full and outside off, Gabriel swings away from his body. The delivery takes the inside edge and disturbs the furniture behind. WINDIES ARE ALL OUT FOR 127! INDIA ARE GIVEN A TARGET OF 72!

Umesh Yadav is back on. He has 9 wickets for the match. Can he take the last and take a 10-fer?

Jomel Warrican is in next.

Ravindra Jadeja to Sunil Ambris. OUT! Three reds and that is plumb! Jadeja gets two in two overs. One would wonder why wasn't he given the ball a lot more. He is just into his 8th over and has got three. This is flatter and slightly shorter around middle. Ambris misreads the length as he tries to pull. The ball sneaks underneath his bat and hits the front pad. The player appeals and the umpire raises his finger. Ambris has no choice but to go for the review. Replays roll in and it shows no involvement of the bat and also, the on-field call is the right one. The last recognized batsman for the Windies is back in the hut after getting a start and the end is nigh for them.

Windies take a review this time! Ambris is given out LBW and he has challenged the decision. Looks out though.

Ravindra Jadeja to Sunil Ambris. The arm ball on off, Ambris prods forward and defends it onto the ground.
