- 00:58 (IST)WI vs IND Live: West Indies all out for 150!Ravichandran Ashwin completes a five-wicket haul and with it, India have bundled out West Indies for 150 runs. The hosts never looking threatening as the Indian bowlers kept picking wickets at regular intervals. Ashwin started it all with his twin strikes and what followed was a team effort with Ravindra Jadeja playing a crucial role in it with three wickets to his credit. Only Alick Athanaze -- who departed for 47 runs -- showed some fight but lacked support from other Windies batters.
- 00:37 (IST)WI vs IND Live: Final session underway!West Indies would be hoping the pair of Rahkeem Cornwall and Kemar Roach to stitch a good partnership to take the side over 200 runs at least. On the other hand, Indian bowlers will aim to get the job finished early so that their batters could have some time at the crease before Stumps. We are now into the final session of the day.
- 00:05 (IST)WI vs IND Live: WICKET!Fourth wicket for Ravichandran Ashwin! The off spinner gets better of Alick Athanaze. The Test debutant from West Indies departs after a promising knock of 47 runs. It was a short ball from Ashwin but Athanaze failed to time his pull shot properly. He hit it high in the air instead and Shardul Thakur at wide mid-on took the catch. West Indies are 129/8 in 55 overs vs India
- 23:29 (IST)WI vs IND Live: SIX from Alick Athanaze!A fuller ball from R Ashwin and Alick Athanaze hit it over the long-on fence for a six. That is the first maximum of the West Indies innings and the game as well. Athanaze is batting really well. This partnership between him and Jason Holder has been the silver lining for the West Indies in this innings so far.
- 23:14 (IST)WI vs IND Live: Mini recovery for West Indies!West Indies lost their fifth wicket at the score of 76 runs. Since then, Alick Athanaze and Jason Holder have added 29 runs for the sixth wicket so far. Both of them have batted well, especially the Test debutant Athanaze. He remains West Indies' key from here as they side would be needing a total of at least 250.

- 21:37 (IST)WI vs IND Live: Lunch!India dominated the first session on the first day of the ongoing first Test vs West Indies. Openers Kraigg Brathwaite and Tagenarine Chanderpaul started well for the hosts with a 31-run stand but R Ashwin dismissed Chanderpaul, it opened the floodgates. Such was the result that West Indies went four down by Lunch with Shardul Thakur and Ravindra Jadeja claiming a wicket apiece, besides the two from Ashwin.
- 21:06 (IST)WI vs IND Live: Shardul Thakur strikes!Shardul Thakur's golden arm is into the act again. How many times we see him picking a wicket soon after coming into the attack. It took him just three balls to take his first wicket. It was bowled a bit fuller from Shardul and Raymon Reifer nicked the ball to wicketkeeper Ishan Kishan. India are on top!
- 20:57 (IST)WI vs IND Live: FOUR!Fuller and a bit of room outside off from R Ashwin and Jermaine Blackwood was quick to pounce on it. The right-handed batter drove it away through the extra cover region for a four. This will give some confidence to Blackwood, who was struggling in his short stay at the crease so far.
