The large first innings score of 518/5 with centuries by Yashasvi Jaiswal and Shubman Gill and a good 87 by Sai Sudharsan led India to the top. West Indies fought harder using the bat and yet they were at the end of the day fighting on 140/4 behind by 378 runs. India are now beginning to look like a follow on and an attempt to take an innings win.
INDIA vs WEST INDIES Live Score: On the 2nd day of the Test match, India dominated India and announced their first innings of 518/5. The young batting brigade again took the centre stage with Yashasvi Jaiswal and Shubman Gill registering flawless centuries. Their calm, but fierce manner destroyed the bowling attack of the West Indies, unable to rest and puncture all through the innings. There was also a great contribution by Sai Sudharsan, who scored a fluent 87, which was just short of his maiden ton. The highest order of India displayed a high level of temperament and choice of shots and turned a strong beginning into a strong total. A declaration late in the day caused the attention then to be directed towards the reply of the West Indies. The Caribbean side showed more resistance on this occasion unlike their dismal performance in the last Test. Nevertheless, they were still under pressure by the end of the day at 140 to 4, and were 378 runs behind.
The final session of play clearly belonged to the West Indies. For the first time in the series, they’ve put India on the back foot, leaving the hosts searching for answers. Shai Hope and John Campbell stood firm after Tea, putting together an unbeaten 138-run partnership. Their resilience has cut India’s lead to under 100 and given the visitors a glimmer of hope heading into Day 4.
