WI 150 & 48/4 (25)

Windies wicketkeeper Joshua Da Silva jumped to his right but failed to take the catch. It is the second time Kohli has been dropped in this innings. This is really poor fielding from West Indies.

He and Yashasvi Jaiswal started well today. The youngster raced to his 150 but later lost his wicket at the score of 187. Ajinkya Rahane failed to make it count with a three-run knock. Kohli, however, kept to hold one end tight. He was given a life by Kraigg Brathwaite at the score of 40 and continues to make Windies pay for it.

130.2 - A single and Virat Kohli has raced to his half-century. The surface is not that easy to bat on but he has played beautifully. The fifty comes at a very slow rate for him, but he continues to focus on staying at the crease more that to look at the strike rate.

IND 347/2 (124.1)

IND 330/2 (121)

IND 326/2 (119)

Here comes the 150 for Yashasvi Jaiswal! What a knock from the youngster this has been so far! He looked really solid and the maturity in his game just makes him more-more special. Jaiswal has Virat Kohli at other end to guide him, which an added bonus for the player.

Play on Day 3 has started in Dominica.

Virat Kohli has only one Test century since November 2019. It came against Australia in March 2023. The batter is currently unbeaten on 36 and he too would eye to score a century against West Indies to take the tally of his international tons to 76.

While another 45 runs will help Jaiswal become the Indian player with highest score on Test debut, the southpaw needs just 7 runs to become the first Indian batter to do that on debut in an overseas match.

"I think this is one of the emotional knock for me, it's difficult to get opportunities in the Indian team, I would like to thank everyone, the supporters, team management and Rohit Bhai... We have worked hard on everything, I've just gone out to express myself. Was an emotional moment (on his century), was just proud of myself, thankful for everyone, this is just a start and I want to do well going further," said Yashavi Jaiswal, who is unbeaten on 143.

Good afternoon and hello! We are back with the coverage of another exciting day of Test cricket. India are 312/2 and lead by 162 runs heading into Day 3. West Indies have a lot of ground to cover.
