India vs West Indies LIVE: How much longer will India bat?
India firmly in the driving seat, and it will be intriguing to see how long they continue batting on Day 2. Yashasvi Jaiswal, unbeaten on 173, has a number of milestones in front of him. India could be aiming for 400+ at least.
India vs West Indies LIVE: Hapless West Indies
West Indies have endured a day to forget. 90 overs of toil in the outfield, but only 2 wickets to show for their efforts. Jomel Warrican took both, including getting KL Rahul stumped out with a magical ball. But those moments were few and far between, and Warrican even dropped Sudharsan in one of the few chances of the day.

IND 300/2 (86)
IND vs WI LIVE Score: Gill's awkward collision!
That didn't look nice. Shubman Gill tried to scramble a single after a great piece of fielding in the circle, but ends up colliding with West Indies wicket-keeper Tevin Imlach. Both appear to be hurt, and are receiving treatment from the physios.

India have raced to 200. They weren't even at three figures at Lunch, they've now reached 200 and we still have 25 minutes till Tea. Jaiswal has been imperious, Sai Sudharsan has looked good too. Don't rule out 350+ by the end of Day 1.
IND 200/1 (52)
IND vs WI LIVE Score: Dropped!
Chance goes begging! Oh dear, West Indies. They've got very few chances all day, and they've let another one slip. Sai Sudharsan doesn't time his nudge so well, chance at short mid-wicket for Warrican but he can't hold on!
IND 198/1 (51.1)
IND vs WI LIVE Score: Huge milestone for Jaiswal
Jaiswal now has the second-most Test centuries by an Indian before the age of 24. Jaiswal and the legendary Sachin Tendulkar are the only Indians to have 7 or more Test tons before the age of 24. Not even the likes of Sunil Gavaskar, Rahul Dravid or Virat Kohli had more Test tons than Jaiswal at such a young age!
Don Bradman (12), Sachin (11) and Garfield Sobers (9) are the only players to score more Test tons than Jaiswal before the age of 24.
IND 198/1 (51)
IND vs WI LIVE Score: 100 FOR YASHASVI JAISWAL!
Century No. 7 in Test cricket for Yashasvi Jaiswal! The mercurial left-handed sensation becomes the second opener after Graeme Smith to slam 7 Test tons before the age of 24. Be it at home, at Australia, at England or in the West Indies -- Jaiswal has oozed class everywhere.
IND 196/1 (50.1)
IND vs WI LIVE Score: India 194/1 after 50 overs

IND vs WI LIVE Score: West Indies get ball checked

IND 193/1 (49)
IND vs WI LIVE Score: FOUR! FOUR! Jaiswal!

IND vs WI LIVE Score: FOUR! 50 for Sai Sudharsan!
Half-century for Sai Sudharsan! The left-hander slams another convincing boundary through the covers to get to his fifty. This has been a top knock from him. Struggling for runs heading into the match, this should do him a world of good.

IND vs WI LIVE Score: 100-run stand between Jaiswal and Sudharsan!
The 100-run partnership comes up between Yashasvi Jaiswal and Sai Sudharsan. Both left-handers have batted stylishly, and haven't been threatened much -- if at all -- by the Windies bowlers. The duo have set the platform for a huge first innings score.
IND 163/1 (43)
IND vs WI LIVE: FOUR!

IND 157/1 (42)
IND vs WI LIVE Score: 150 up for India
Single taken by Sai Sudharsan to bring up the 150 for India. We're not even halfway into Day 1 yet, so India look set to go well beyond 300 at this rate. If these two set batters continue to bat, West Indies are going to be in big trouble.
IND 152/1 (41)
IND vs WI LIVE Score: India 149/1 after 40 overs
Slight lull in India's scoring rate after the fast start post-Lunch. 12 overs since the restart in play, during which India have scored 55 runs. Jaiswal is now on 73, and will be keen on converting this to a hundred. Sai Sudharsan on 38, and nearing his second Test fifty.
IND 149/1 (40)

IND 135/1 (35)
India vs West Indies LIVE: FOUR, Sai Sudharsan
Sai Sudharsan may not be going as aggressively as Jaiswal, but this has been a really good innings from him so far. He has barely been bothered by any delivery, and has shown the temperament he became known for during the IPL. He slams another boundary, a lovely punch through the covers.
IND 131/1 (34)
India vs West Indies LIVE: FOUR!
Be it at the start of the over, or at the end, Yashasvi Jaiswal looks imperious at the moment. 4 more, cut away against Roston Chase, square of the wicket. The left-hander has raced from 40 to 64 in a span of less than 20 minutes.
IND 123/1 (32)
India vs West Indies LIVE: FOUR more, Jaiswal!
Yashasvi Jaiswal continues to deal in boundaries. Fourth one after Lunch already. He has given India a cracking start to the second session. The left-hander took his time to get settled, but now looks ready to tee off.
IND 117/1 (31)
India vs West Indies LIVE: FOUR! India 112/1 after 30 overs

IND 102/1 (28.2)
IND vs WI LIVE Score: Welcome back!
Welcome back to the live coverage of the second Test between India and West Indies at New Delhi. India have laid a great foundation, losing just one wicket and piling on 94 runs in the first session. They'll be hoping to take full advantage of the batting-friendly conditions now.
IND 94/1 (28)
India vs West Indies 2nd Test LIVE: Yashasvi Jaiswal Eyes Big Prize
After failing to get his bat to do the talking in the first match at Ahmedabad, Yashasvi Jaiswal has his eyes set on a big score in New Delhi. The left-hander looks well set, already on the cusp of his half-century. But, he needs to avoid the mistake that KL Rahul made.
IND vs WI LIVE Score: LUNCH!
Lunch on Day 1. India will be pleased with those 2 hours. They've set the tone by dominating the first session, with West Indies barely getting a sniff. KL Rahul started very well, was nearing his fifty, but missed out as he got stumped after being deceived by the turn.
Jaiswal, on the other hand, started off slow, but has played a really measured knock. Sai Sudharsan with a bright start as well.
IND 94/1 (28)
IND vs WI LIVE Score: Maiden over
This innings has been a supremely measured one from Jaiswal. The left-hander has hit 7 boundaries, but the knock has been defined by his patience and control of aggression. Hasn't minded playing out maiden overs, and another one here against Warrican. Jaiswal looks set for the long haul.
IND 89/1 (26)
IND vs WI LIVE: FOUR!
Swept away! Boundary through square-leg for Yashasvi Jaiswal. After a cautious start, Jaiswal is really finding his groove now. Roston Chase was arguably West Indies' best bowler in the first Test, but he's not been allowed to settle into a rhythm by Jaiswal.
IND 89/1 (25)
IND vs WI LIVE Score: FOUR!
Sai Sudharsan continues to score in boundaries! The left-hander moves up to 13, and 12 of those runs have come via 4s. Lovely drive through the covers, and the ball races away for 4. The left-hander has made a positive start today.
IND 84/1 (24)
IND vs WI LIVE Score: 10 minutes to Lunch
We are about 10 minutes away from Lunch on Day 1. Difficult to say that India haven't been the better side. It was one magical delivery, aided by the turn on the pitch at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, that deceived KL Rahul. Otherwise, India have been fairly unbothered by the Windies.
IND 80/1 (23)
IND vs WI LIVE Score: FOUR more! Jaiswal!
Yashasvi Jaiswal slaps it down the ground again! Four more, this time against WI captain Roston Chase. The straight drive has been a constant weapon used by India today, with Jaiswal especially using it to good effect.
IND 78/1 (22.1)
India vs West Indies LIVE: 4! 4! India 72/1 after 20 overs
Two boundaries in one over! A four each on the first and last ball of the 20th over. Jaiswal with a well-timed late cut on the first ball. Sai Sudharsan concludes the over with his second boundary, punching it through mid-on.
IND 72/1 (20)
India vs West Indies LIVE: FOUR!
Sai Sudharsan off the mark with a boundary! First ball he faces is a full toss from Warrican, and it is helped to the boundary rope by the left-hander. Sai Sudharsan is out-of-form and needs a good knock. Can today be the day?
IND 62/1 (17.4)
India vs West Indies LIVE: OUT! KL Rahul departs!
Oh my word! Where has that come from? Jomel Warrican strikes with his third ball, and KL Rahul has to walk back. Huge amount of turn as the ball bounces. Rahul came forward to block, but he's left totally flummoxed by the spin. He misses, and gets stumped!
KL Rahul departs for 38, and he seems to be in shock at that delivery.
IND 58/1 (17.3)
India vs West Indies LIVE: SIX! KL Rahul!
Maximum! KL Rahul smashes Khary Pierre over long-on for a big 6! First maximum of the game. That went 81 metres. Rahul comes down the track and times it stylishly. The 33-year-old is nearing his half-century now.
IND 57/0 (16.2)
India vs West Indies LIVE: FOUR! 50 up for India!
Great shot! This time, off KL Rahul's bat. Second boundary in four balls in the over. That shot brings up the 50 for India, and the 50-run stand between Rahul and Jaiswal. Fifth boundary for the experienced opener.
IND 50/0 (15.4)
India vs West Indies LIVE: Concussion check for WI player
Jaiswal's shot bounces off the ground and hits Khary Pierre on the head. Pierre was fielding at backward point, jumped to stop the ball, but the bounce caught him by surprise. He looks okay, but as per protocol, he must go off the field for a concussion check.
IND 46/0 (15.3)
India vs West Indies LIVE: FOUR more!
Yashasvi Jaiswal plays it on the up, and slams another boundary straight down the ground. Gracefully timed, with the left-hander leaning onto the ball. Fourth boundary of the innings for Jaiswal.
IND 45/0 (15.2)
India vs West Indies LIVE: Classy from KL!
The two sides of a straight drive! After Jaiswal's brutal hit in the last over, KL Rahul now comes up with a signature, classy, graceful one. Magnificently-timed! Sachin Tendulkar would be proud of that stroke!
IND 38/0 (13.2)
India vs West Indies LIVE: Smashed for 4 by Jaiswal!
What a shot! Hit back incredibly hard by Yashasvi Jaiswal. Picks up the delivery with ease and slams it brutally hard. The ball zooms past the bowler Anderson Phillip, who will be thanking his luck that it didn't hit him.
IND 34/0 (12.4)
IND vs WI LIVE Score: Two maidens in a row
Yashasvi Jaiswal and KL Rahul in no hurry. The Indian openers giving due respect to the bowlers, and not taking any flashy risks. They've protected their wickets really well here, and not given the Windies much of a sniff either.
IND 29/0 (12)
IND vs WI LIVE Score: KL Rahul survives DRS!
KL Rahul trapped on the pads by Anderson Phillip, and it's followed by a big appeal, but the umpire says not out. West Indies decide to use their first DRS review of the match. It's close -- umpire's call for the impact and wickets -- but Rahul survives.
IND 29/0 (10.3)
IND vs WI LIVE Score: India 29/0 after 10 overs
End of the first 10 overs. Mostly cautious from Jaiswal and Rahul, but they've handled the opening phase with relative ease. Few boundaries here and there as well, and crucially, no wickets lost. West Indies haven't managed to make the new ball count.
IND 29/0 (10)
IND vs WI LIVE Score: FOUR more! Jaiswal!
Now Jaiswal switches gears. Sudden burst of momentum here for India, as they pick up a flurry of boundaries with the 10th over approaching. Flicked towards the leg-side by Jaiswal, and he hits his second 4 of the day. Three boundaries in a row!
IND 29/0 (9.1)
IND vs WI LIVE Score: FOUR! FOUR! Rahul!
Two boundaries in a row. First one, a wonderful shot. Pitched short by Seales and punched away through the covers by KL Rahul. Picks up the length of the ball expertly. The next one, flicked away for 4 through mid-wicket. Fielder gives chase, but the ball wins the race.
IND 25/0 (9)
India vs West Indies LIVE: India continue cautious start
Yashasvi Jaiswal and KL Rahul playing the new ball with a huge degree of caution. India trudging along at only 2 runs an over at this moment. Jaiswal is batting on 5 off 21. Rahul has slowed down as well, now on 11 off 27.
IND 16/0 (8)
India vs West Indies LIVE: Gavaskar slams West Indies pacers!
Sunil Gavaskar does not hide his bafflement at the West Indies bowling attack. "It's the sixth over and we are yet to see a single bouncer! Tell me why!" says the legendary former India batter, speaking on commentary.
IND 15/0 (6)
India vs West Indies LIVE: FOUR! Glorious!
Lovely shot from Yashasvi Jaiswal! First boundary of the match for the left-hander. It was a good over from Seales until the last ball. Width offered to Jaiswal, and he cashes in, driving it gracefully square of the wicket.
IND 14/0 (5)
India vs West Indies LIVE: FOUR!
First boundary of the match. Pitched on Rahul's pads, who opts for the flick. The ball ricochets off his pads and then runs away for 4. Decent over for India -- 6 runs coming off it. Rahul not afraid to play his strokes early on.
IND 10/0 (4)
India vs West Indies LIVE: Jaiswal off the mark now
Jaiswal with a flick towards the leg-side to get off the mark. The left-hander has begun very cautiously here, scoring 1 run off 10 balls. India playing it safe against West Indies in the early phase, perhaps knowing that the conditions will play into their favour eventually.
IND 4/0 (3)
India vs West Indies LIVE: First runs! Rahul off the mark
KL Rahul gets off the mark. Lovely delivery actually, swung back in by Anderson Phillip. It's full, Rahul goes for the block, but ends up getting an outside edge that runs away to the third-man fence. The batters run two.
IND 2/0 (2)
India vs West Indies LIVE: Maiden over to start
Jayden Seales starts off with a maiden over. Yashasvi Jaiswal opting for caution early on. The left-hander began very slowly in the first Test too, before teeing off and slamming a bunch of boundaries in a short span. Will be interesting to see if he adopts the same strategy.
IND 0/0 (1)
India vs West Indies LIVE: Play begins!
We are LIVE! Jayden Seales opening the bowling, Yashasvi Jaiswal the man on strike for India. The first ball swings away, down the leg-side of the batter. The next one swings back, but is blocked. KL Rahul is at the other end.
IND 0/0 (0.2)
India vs West Indies LIVE: Anil Kumble rings the bell!
The Test match begins! Legendary former India spinner Anil Kumble rings the bell at the Arun Jaitley Stadium to kickstart proceedings. This is the very ground where Kumble famously took all 10 wickets in an innings, against Pakistan, in 1999.
India vs West Indies LIVE: Gill narrowly prevents unwanted record
Had Shubman Gill lost the toss today, he would've equalled former New Zealand captain Bevan Congdon as the player to captain the most Tests without winning the toss. Congdon went 7 Tests without winning the toss. Gill's streak stops at 6.
India vs West Indies LIVE: West Indies playing XI
West Indies XI vs India: John Campbell, Tagenarine Chanderpaul, Alick Athanaze, Shai Hope, Roston Chase (c), Tevin Imlach (wk), Justin Greaves, Jomel Warrican, Khary Pierre, Anderson Phillip, Jayden Seales.
Out go Brandon King and Johann Layne, in come Imlach and Phillip.
India vs West Indies LIVE: Roston Chase unhappy
West Indies captain Roston Chase says clearly that he's unhappy with the outcome of the toss. Chase mentions that he also wanted to bat first, as the pitch looks dry. He announces two changes to the Windies playing XI -- Tevin Imlach and Anderson Phillip come in.
India vs West Indies LIVE: India playing XI
India XI vs West Indies: Yashasvi Jaiswal, KL Rahul, B Sai Sudharsan, Shubman Gill (c), Dhruv Jurel (wk), Ravindra Jadeja, Washington Sundar, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Kuldeep Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj.
No changes made by India.
India vs West Indies LIVE: India win toss, opt to bat!
He's done it! Shubman Gill has won the toss for the first time as Test skipper! After six losses in a row, the toss curse has finally been broken. He opts to bat. India are also going with an unchanged playing XI.
India vs West Indies LIVE: Can Gill break toss curse?
Indian captain Shubman Gill is yet to win a toss as Test skipper. He lost all five in England, and also lost the toss in the first Test against West Indies. Will that curse be broken today? Let's find out, it's time for the toss.
India vs West Indies LIVE: India eye 10th successive series win
India will kickstart their bid for a 10th successive Test series victory over West Indies today. The last time WI beat India in a Test series was in 2002, after which India have won all nine series played between the two nations. In fact, West Indies have not won a Test against India since 2002.
India vs West Indies LIVE: Will India try any new players?
Given the convincing margin of victory in the first Test, few can blame Gill and Gambhir if they choose to stick with the same playing XI. However, among the hopefuls for a game will be back-up wicket-keeper N Jagadeesan, who will be desperate for a first Test cap. He could potentially replace the out-of-form Sai Sudharsan.
India vs West Indies LIVE: Toss soon!
We are just about half an hour away from toss time at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi. Roston Chase won the toss in the first match, but arguably took the wrong decision by choosing to bat. It will be intriguing to see what the toss-winning captain decides to do today.
India vs West Indies 2nd Test LIVE: Make Or Break For Sai Sudharsan
Karun Nair has already been moved out of India's plans in Test cricket. The pressure is now on Sai Sudharsan, who has only managed 147 runs in seven innings and scored only seven in the first Test. He needs to prove his credentials with the bat in red-ball cricket and show the selectors that they were right to show their faith in him.
