India vs West Indies Highlights, 1st Test Day 2: IND in commanding position after Rahul, Jurel, Jadeja tons; lead by 286

India vs West Indies Live Score, 1st Test Day 2: Marginally short from Roston Chase, and Jurel is very quick to read the length and pull it over midwicket. First six of the match.

India vs West Indies Live Score, 1st Test Day 2: Disappointing wicket! Loss of focus for KL Rahul. Warrican on, and Rahul tries to push it through the covers. Never at the pitch of the ball, and just gives catching practice to the man there. A small window for the Windies here, but Jadeja next man in.

India vs West Indies Live Score, 1st Test Day 2: Not too far from resumption of play after lunch now. These next 13 overs do present a chance to score some quick runs, but that hasn't been India's style in this phase of matches recently. Dhruv Jurel, who will want to stake a claim as more than just a backup for Rishabh Pant, knows the key of him getting a big score here. But the Windies will likely go spin heavy before giving Jayden Seales access to the second new ball. Important phase of play, quietly.

India vs West Indies Live Score, 1st Test Day 2: Rahul took 3211 days between his 199 in Chennai in 2016 and his ongoing century today, which stands as the longest an Indian player has had to wait between two centuries at home in Test cricket. Ravichandran Ashwin had to wait from 2013 to 2021, and his record (of sorts) now stands broken.

India vs West Indies Live Score, 1st Test Day 2: KL Rahul's terrific century has ensured that India are well on their way towards a strong lead. A terrific innings, one he will certainly be chuffed with. India strolling along at the minute, and West Indies will now be hoping the second new ball due in 13 overs after lunch will help them claw back the meagre ground they had and have already lost. A break!

India vs West Indies Live Score, 1st Test Day 2: Well-deserved ton for KL Rahul! He has batted with great application and polish, and has looked in great touch. Only his second home century, and ends a wait of 9 years since his first.

India vs West Indies Live Score, 1st Test Day 2: He's batted really well, and with some positivity against the spinners. Not too far from a century now, well into the 90s. Lead past 40.

India vs West Indies Live Score, 1st Test Day 2: Disappointing wicket! Partnership was at 98, Gill was looking good, but he tries a reverse sweep and it just loops up nicely for slip to complete the catch. KL Rahul had pulled it off a few deliveries earlier, but not so for Gill.

188/3, Gill looks disappointed in himself. Dhruv Jurel comes in.

India vs West Indies Live Score, 1st Test Day 2: He has been in sensational form in Test cricket in recent months. A historic series in England in his captaincy debut, and now in his first Test at home as skipper, reaches a fifty as well. Hoping for a big one here himself.

India vs West Indies Live Score, 1st Test Day 2: So just a perfect morning for India. Lead stands at 12. This partnership is one which will be difficult to dislodge now that they are set, you feel.

India vs West Indies Live Score, 1st Test Day 2: Goal one for the second morning achieved! Shubman Gill rocks back and calmly chops Pierre through backward point to pick up for, and now India lead by 3. Building from here.

India vs West Indies Live Score, 1st Test Day 2: Oh, just rude. Takes a couple of steps down the ground and flicks it with impudence through midwicket. Sweet as you like. 11 runs to the deficit.

India vs West Indies Live Score, 1st Test Day 2: That is a shot he has really developed in the last 7 or 8 months. Waits for it to come to him, and then just uses those wrists to guide it with power through a vacant backward point area. Times it so well.

India vs West Indies Live Score, 1st Test Day 2: Fifty up for this duo. Deficit down to 22. Still a little bit of movement off the pitch for the moment.

India vs West Indies Live Score, 1st Test Day 2: KL Rahul did pull up with his hamstring while batting yesterday, and pictures from before start of play today show him making sure he has it stretched out and active. Not completely at 100%, but the signs aren't too concerning for now. Just something to keep an eye on as his innings grows.

India vs West Indies Live Updates, 1st Test Day 2: Exactly how West Indies didn't want to start! They need to be accurate but have already conceded 14 runs in the first 9 balls of the day. That lead is shrinking fast.

India vs West Indies Live Updates, 1st Test Day 2: Jayden Seales gets us going, and already a couple of boundaries, including one which catches KL Rahul's edge and goes flying through the gap at first slip! Slightly fortunate already, Windies will feel hard done.

India vs West Indies Live Updates, 1st Test Day 2: West Indies cricket, once such a powerhouse, boasting of some of the greatest legends of the game, is in the most anxious of doldrums. After their 27 all-out debacle vs Australia, a good start to this tour was essential – but they didn't get it.

The good news for those who hope to see the Windies back at the top of the game is that some of those greats, headlined by Clive Lloyd and Brian Lara, have come on board with CWI to try and diagnose and then solve the problems, with an official statement after day's play yesterday creating the outline for that change. Today, the Windies have to prove that for all the logistical change, they have the internal drive to support it.

India vs West Indies Live Updates, 1st Test Day 2: Day 1 brought overcast conditions, and Day 2 might provide more of the same: a cloud cover will make it a humid day. Both teams know the importance of starting off well: India don't want to lose a wicket, and the Windies want to ensure they don't let Gill in particular settle in and get that score moving forward with too much ease or too quickly.

India vs West Indies Live Updates, 1st Test Day 2: Probably a little too early to ask this question, but it has been a pitch for the seamers thus far. Siraj was on fire in the first half of the day, Bumrah's searing yorkers cleaned up the tail, and Jayden Seales was also making the ball talk quite a lot, albeit without much success until he dismissed Yashasvi Jaiswal. But in India, the wariness is always with the spin, which is why both teams are holding onto three spinning options in this match.

There is already a little bit of turn in the pitch, and if it does begin to crack a little early, things might equalise just a touch as the Windies tweakers come into it.

India vs West Indies Live Updates, 1st Test Day 2: Mohammed Siraj was spectacular in how he made the ball sing early. However, his hunt for a fifth wicket was stymied – but no regrets for a player who wears his heart on his sleeve.

"Sir, even here I took four wickets only by working hard," Siraj said. "You only get wickets by working hard. I got wickets in England by working hard, and I worked hard for them here too. It isn't as if anyone gave me wickets free of cost. No one gave me that fifth wicket. All four wickets came from hard work."

India vs West Indies Live Updates, 1st Test Day 2: North and west India have seen some surprise showers this week, and the weather forecast reads that there are small chances of precipitation today, particularly in the afternoon. However, keep in mind that heavier rain was expected yesterday, but it stayed away as we got to watch an uninterrupted day's play of cricket.

India vs West Indies Live Updates, 1st Test Day 2: In the morning session, India's goal will just be to reach that 162 mark without another wicket. At that point, there will be a mental reset, where they will look to put up a score that will ensure they only have to bat once. There is still batting to come down the order, with Jurel, Jadeja, Reddy, and Sundar in the tank.

India vs West Indies Live Updates, 1st Test Day 2: KL Rahul has a notorious record of never quite making the numbers to match the obvious quality and utility he possesses. set on 53*, and beginning to look more confident, this is an opportunity he will see as one he wants to convert: remember, he still only has one Test century on Indian soil, which is a remarkable stat for someone with double digit Test centuries. That is something he needs to improve, and that is something he could make the first step towards today.

India vs West Indies Live Updates, 1st Test Day 2: After a couple of quick wickets in succession and the end of day approaching, a third wicket could have sent some jitters through the Indian camp, and brought the Windies right into this one. However, Shubman Gill came in, and as befits a captain, showed great patience and maturity to dull the ball even further and soak up the pressure. The dividends of his 42 balls faced might be seen today.
