India start at their overnight score of 93 for 3. Test captain Virat Kohli, who scored 14 in the first warm-up game at Warner Park, will start fresh alongside KL Rahul, who is batting on 30 and will be looking for his second 50 on his maiden tour of the Caribbean.

This is India's last chance to work out their best XI for the first Test in Antigua starting July 21. The Indian top order wasn't very impressive on Day 1 on Thursday after the bowlers did a great job in restricting the West Indies XI to 180 in 62.5 overs.

Murali Vijay, playing his first game on the tour, scored 23; Shikhar Dhawan was out for 9 and Cheteshwar Pujara (who was retired after 34 in the first game) was bowled for 28.

The two-paced nature of the wicket will be a test for Indian batsmen. India's spinners exploited the conditions very well after the West Indians won the toss and decided to bat. But Ravindra Jadeja (3/16), Ravichandran Ashwin (3/62) and Amit Mishra (2/45) ran through the Caribbeans with some quality spin bowling.
