Here are the Highlights of Day 1 of the second Test between West Indies and India from Trinidad
- 03:07 (IST)WI vs IND Live: End of Day 1!Stumps on Day 1 and India are 288 for the loss of four wickets. Virat Kohli and Ravindra Jadeja are unbeaten for the visitors and this partnership has been crucial for their cause. Day 2 will be crucial for both sides and if West Indies fail to strike early, it has been yet another tough day.
- 02:37 (IST)WI vs IND Live: Sixth bowler for WI!West Indies have come up with a sixth bowler in Alick Athanaze. The hosts fought back but this partnership between Virat Kohli and Ravindra Jadeja has steadied the India innings. Still no breakthrough for the visitors with less than 30 minutes to play.
- 01:11 (IST)WI vs IND Live: Different Jadeja!It is not often that Ravindra Jadeja takes a defensive route but considering how much India need this pair to rebuild the innings, this seems to be the right approach. Along with Kohli, Jadeja holds an important position in the batting order and this session can decide how the match goes for India.
- 00:54 (IST)WI vs IND Live: Slow run rateIndia's run rate has fallen to 3.48 after West Indies were able to take some quick wickets. They were scoring over 4 runs per over but with batters not being able to capitlaise on the foundation provided by the openers, this can get tough for the visitors.
- 00:46 (IST)WI vs IND Live: West Indies fightback!West Indies have fought back well with three quick wickets after India were off to a solid start. The Rahane wicket was also crucial as they came into the final session of the match with a lot of confidence. If Virat Kohli loses his wicket right now, the comeback will truly be complete for the hosts.
- 20:35 (IST)WI vs IND Live: Time for drinks!13 overs gone and India are 57 for no loss. Time for drinks and till now, it has been all India. Yashasvi Jaiswal did provide a glimmer of hope for West Indies but it was a tough chance for the fielder. Other than that, it has been impressive batting by both him and Rohit.
- 20:25 (IST)WI vs IND Live: Spin vs Pure form!Jomel Warrican is introduced into the attack and although the India openers are not taking any unnecessary risks, the run rate is quite comfortable for India. Both Rohit and Yashasvi look completely in control and it remains to be seen how much spin will trouble them.
- 20:12 (IST)WI vs IND Live: Shannon Gabriel!Shannon Gabriel has been the only bowler who has looked dangerous for West Indies till now. A constant line just outside the off stump has forced Rohit Sharma to go hunting more than once and it looks like he can turn out to be a problem for the Indian openers.
