IND vs WI Live Cricket Score, 2nd Test Day 1: Sudharsan Falls Short Of Hundred, Shubman Gill Walks In At Four

End of a well-compiled knock by Sai Sudharsan. Jomel Warrican picks his 2nd wicket in the innings. Sudharsan will be disappointed as he missed out on well-deserved hundred (84). 

 Not the same blazing start to this session as the last. Both batters happy to nudge it around the ground and just rotate the strike calmly.

 Back for the evening session. Sai Sudharsan looking for his century, but Yashasvi Jaiswal trying to keep the attack going.

The action has started in the final session of the first day as Sudharsan and Jaiswal take crease with an aim to extend India's dominance in the first innings. Sudharsan will be looking to complete his maiden century as soon as possible.

India LIVE Score: 227/1 (60)

India have reached 220/1 at the tea break. Yashasvi Jaiswal's century was the big headline of the second session. He remaine unbeaten on 111 with Sai Sudharsan at the other end on 71. These two have already added 162 runs for the second wicket. 

India LIVE Score: 220/1 (58)

Another memorable performance from Jaiswal as he smashes his seventh Test century. He has looked in an amazing touch this morning and continues to capitalise in his magnificent form in Test cricket. India are closing in on the 200-run mark. 4 runs came off that over.

India LIVE Score: 198/1 (51)

Another boundary for Sudharsan as he looks more comfortable after his fifty. Good over for India as 7 runs came off it. 

India LIVE Score: 193/1 (49)

Brilliant effort from Sudharsan as he reaches his second Test fifty and his first in India. He has looked solid in the middle so far and will be looking to capitalise on this start. Six runs came off that over. 

India LIVE Score: 175/1 (45)

Jaiswal and Sudharsan have added 100 runs for the second wicket as they continue to dominate things in the middle. Six runs came off that over.

India Live Score: 163/1 (43)

Nothing seems to be working for the WI bowlers at the moment as Jaiswal and Sudharsan take India past the 150-run mark after the lunch break. While Jaiswal looks solid, Sudharsan is heading towards his maiden fifty. Three runs came off that over. 

India LIVE Score: 152/1 (41)

29 runs in just 4 overs after the break, the bulk of the scoring from Jaiswal. He is happy to take the attack here, and West Indies need to put a lid on it and find a way to generate pressure. Even their best bowler Seales under the pump.

Clear signal of intent! Jaiswal reaches 50 in no time after the lunch break. This one is a cover drive, and he reaches his half-century.

Some bite on the next ball – plays it back to Seales, who collects and tries to fire it back at the stumps. Hits Jaiswal on the pad. Hand goes up in apology immediately – no malintent.

Sudharsan calmly sees out the last over before lunch, cool as you like. Ensures no further damage, and he and Jaiswal go into the pavilion with India in a strong position after the first session.

Not too long before lunch but the West Indies are trying to get their spinners to keep the pressure on and force an error.

 You can see why Rahul was kind of quizzical after his dismissal. Warrican really put the revs on that one, and it turned big. Rahul tried playing with the angle and was comprehensively beaten. Imlach was quick to read the sharp turn, and has done well to get him stumped.

Wicket! India have lost their first wicket as Warrican strikes against the run of play. He removes Rahul for 38 as Imlach made no mistake with the stumping.

India LIVE Score: 62/1 (18)

Another good start for India as Rahul and Jaiswal take the score past the 50-run mark. The openers have looked in great touch in the first session so far. Good over for India as 10 runs came off it. 

India LIVE Score: 51/0 (16)

Good patient batting from India. Not forcing the issue at all.

That's sublime from Rahul! Beautiful timing on consecutive deliveries. Punches it into the offside then flicks it off his toes for four more. Getting a move on now.

No risks, nice simple batting by this pair. Happy to see out the new ball bowlers. They know that Windies threat reduces if they can see out Seales.

Great timing. Jaiswal has tried to show plenty of restraint thus far this series before kicking off his scoring, but this was an excellent shot. Plays it late, perfectly finds the gap behind backward point. Risk-free, and much better to that sort of back-of-a-length ball than the expansive cut shot he got out trying to play in Ahmedabad.

Gameplan for the Windies here is to have the Indian batters play at it early, challenging the stumps and not allowing easy leaves. Good yorker from Phillips, which Rahul juuuust gets an outside edge on. Down to third for a double, India get going.

 Good start from Seales. Keeps it stump to stump and makes Jaiswal play at it, not giving any room. Maiden over.

Two changes for the Windies. Johann Layne out after getting his debut, and Brandon King also sits out. Anderson Phillip comes in, alongside Tevin Imlach, who skipper Roston Chase backs as a good player of spin.

WI playing XI: John Campbell, Tagenarine Chanderpaul, Alick Athanaze, Shai Hope, Roston Chase (c), Tevin Imlach (wk), Justin Greaves, Jomel Warrican, Khary Pierre, Anderson Phillip, Jayden Seales

No shock and no changes for India heading into this one.

IND playing XI: Yashasvi Jaiswal, KL Rahul, Sai Sudharsan, Shubman Gill (c), Dhruv Jurel (wk), Ravindra Jadeja, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Washington Sundar, Kuldeep Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj

Shubman Gill finally, finally, has the toss go his way as skipper! He wins the toss in Delhi and chooses to bat first. India go in unchanged, but the Windies have a pair of changes. Team news next.

At the toss for the first match, Shubman Gill stated very straightforwardly that his intention was to guide India to four wins out of four this Test season at home. It got off to the right comprehensive start, and will continue today — and these results will matter for momentum as they welcome the World Test Champions next month.

“But I think that's the challenge, to be able to play all the formats for India, and I want to play all the formats and succeed in all the formats for the country, and win ICC titles. So, if I want to do that, then this is the challenge I have to go through,” said Gill in his press conference, having been announced as India's next ODI captain upon the conclusion of the first Test match.

He has certainly hammered home his position as the understudy witht he gloves for Rishabh Pant even when India's star wicketkeeper returns, but Dhruv Jurel seems at home at the Test level. So much so that there are arguments for him to play in the lineup as a pure batter – but the question remains in what position that will be. The number three slot is up for grabs, as mentioned, and Jurel will know that the weight of runs lower down the order is the only way in which he can make an argument to take that role as a pure batter when future series roll around. He will want to continue performing at this level.
