India tour of West Indies: Ashwin’s first day first show in pictures

NARROW ESCAPE: Jermaine Blackwood misses a tricky delivery from R Ashwin which goes straight through to ’keeper Wriddhiman Saha. The off-spinner scalped the right-hander’s wicket with a lbw soon after (25th over). He went on to take five wickets, giving just 52 runs, as he ran through the West Indies middle-order. The hosts folded their innings at 196 in just the second session. (AFP)
