After 19 overs,West Indies 27/2 ( Raymon Reifer 7 , Jermaine Blackwood 4)

TEA ON DAY 3: The hosts are 27/2 at the close of the second session. West Indies lost both openers for identical scores of 7 in the hour that they bat following India's surprise declaration, with Ravindra Jadeja and Ravichandran Ashwin grabbing a wicket each. Judging by the body language of the Indians on the field as they make their way to the dressing room, they'll be fancying the prospect of grabbing another three or four wickets in the third session.

After 16 overs,West Indies 22/1 ( Kraigg Brathwaite (C) 7 , Raymon Reifer 6)

In an interesting move, skipper Rohit has Shubman Gill on his knees at gully along with Rahane and Kohli as the slip fielders. The bounce is variable at Windsor Park and at times stays real low. Brathwaite, meanwhile, has faced 42 deliveries for his 7 and is batting real cautiously.

West Indies vs India LIVE Score

After 13 overs,West Indies 19/1 ( Kraigg Brathwaite (C) 5 , Raymon Reifer 5)

FOUR! Not the best of deliveries from Ashwin, a half-tracker bowled down leg, and Reifer is quick to pounce on it with a pull in front of square. Loud cheer from the locals at the Windsor Park, who otherwise have been subjected to disappointment for the most part in this match.

West Indies vs India LIVE Score

After 11 overs,West Indies 12/1 ( Kraigg Brathwaite (C) 4 , Raymon Reifer 1)

Raymon Reifer joins Brathwaite at the crease following Chanderpaul's dismissal. Brathwaite gets an inside edge towards fine leg off Ashwin's bowling, and ends up collecting two more thanks to a poor throw by Jaiswal that results in overthrows. Reifer opens his account with a single later in the over. Jadeja collects a third maiden in four overs with a couple of byes being added to the West Indian total in the over.

23:43 (IST)

West Indies vs India LIVE Score

OUT! Jadeja draws first blood for the visitors, trapping Chanderpaul leg-before for 7. Chanderpaul Jr looks to defend, but the ball slips past his inside edge after pitching along middle and taking a bit of turn.

23:37 (IST)

After 6 overs,West Indies 3/0 ( Kraigg Brathwaite (C) 0 , Tagenarine Chanderpaul 3)

Ravichandran Ashwin, who had collected 5/60 in the first innings and played a key role in bowling West Indies out for 150, introduced into the attack as early as the fifth over. Rohit then brings Ravindra Jadeja in from the other end the very next over. Looks like we might have spin from both ends for an extended period of time, possibly till the end of the second session. Both Ashwin and Jadeja start off with maidens.

23:23 (IST)

West Indies vs India LIVE Score

After 4 overs,West Indies 3/0 ( Kraigg Brathwaite (C) 0 , Tagenarine Chanderpaul 3)

Siraj concedes his first runs of the day after Chanderpaul leans into a full delivery and drives the ball through the covers for a brace. Would've been a boundary at most venues, but the outfield at Windsor Park is quite slow. Unadkat collects a maiden in the following over.

23:09 (IST)

West Indies vs India LIVE Score

West Indies skipper Kraigg Brathwaite and Tagenarine Chanderpaul make their way out at the start of the second innings with a massive task on their shoulders — batting out of their skins to try and get West Indies past the 271-run mark first, and towards a sizeable total that would give their bowlers something worth defending from thereon. Mohammed Siraj to open the bowling for India as usual.

23:00 (IST)

West Indies vs India LIVE Score

West Indies, meanwhile, will need to produce something special at the Windsor Park if they are to thwart the likes of Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja along with the rest of the attack on this surface. Additionally, debutant and local boy Alick Athanaze had missed out on a half-century in the previous innings, and will hope to bring up the milestone this time around.

After 152.2 overs,India 421/5 ( Ravindra Jadeja 36 , Ishan Kishan (W) 0)

Rohit Sharma has declared India's innings, and the visitors collect a handsome first innings lead of 271! Rohit makes the call right after Ishan Kishan collects his first run in Test cricket with a single, taking 20 deliveries to open his account. Ravindra Jadeja remains unbeaten on 37, collecting three fours and a six. With the pitch having rapidly deteriorated since yesterday, the visitors will fancy their chances of bowling West Indies out quickly for a second time in this match and go 1-0 up in style.

22:53 (IST)

West Indies vs India LIVE Score

After 152 overs,India 419/5 ( Ravindra Jadeja 36 , Ishan Kishan (W) 0)

DROPPED! Second time Virat Kohli has been dropped today! He had been given a reprieve on 40 by Brathwaite off Warrican's bowling. This time the ball pops out of wicketkeeper Da Silva's glove after he lunges to his right. Roach had set Kohli up with a full delivery outside edge that nipped away marginally, enough to get a nick. He survives on 72. Roach had similarly missed out on a wicket yesterday after a shout for LBW against Jaiswal had been turned down, with HawkEye showing the ball hitting middle and leg.

Raymond Reifer, who has bowled just three overs so far in this innings, is given the responsibility of bowling the final over of the session. FOUR! Kohli produces his trademark drive through the extra cover area off an overpitched delivery from the left-arm seamer. Kohli later brings up the 400 for Team India as well as the 250 lead with a single off the penultimate delivery. The umpire flicks the bails at the end of the over, and with that, it's LUNCH ON DAY 3.

Another session that goes India's way despite West Indies collecting a couple of wickets in quick succession, including the prized wicket of Yashasvi Jaiswal, who fell 29 short of becoming the first-ever Indian to score a double-century on Test debut.

21:23 (IST)

India vs West Indies LIVE Score

After 140 overs,India 392/4 ( Virat Kohli 65 , Ravindra Jadeja 20)

FOUR! Whipped away by Kohli through square leg, beating the fielder diving to his left and running all the way to the boundary rope.

Meanwhile, skipper Brathwaite decides to give Warrican some rest after an 11-over spell this morning by introducing himself shortly before lunch.

21:10 (IST)

India vs West Indies LIVE Score

After 136 overs,India 371/4 ( Virat Kohli 53 , Ravindra Jadeja 11)

SIX! Athanaze is introduced into the attack for the first time today and Jadeja welcomes him into the attack by smashing a half tracker from the part-time offie over deep midwicket for a maximum — his first, and the fourth overall of the innings so far. Around 20 minutes to go for lunch on Day 3, and Kohli and Jadeja will hope to take India's score past 400 by the end of the morning session.

20:43 (IST)

India vs West Indies LIVE Score

OUT! Kemar Roach strikes in his first delivery of the day as Ajinkya Rahane departs for 3 after driving the ball straight to the man at cover! Rahane went for the drive but was perhaps surprised by the extra bounce on offer, and wasn't able to keep the ball close to the ground. Roach starts his day with a wicket maiden. IND 356/4

Rahane c Blackwood b Roach 3(11)

20:40 (IST)

India vs West Indies LIVE Score

After 128 overs,India 354/3 ( Virat Kohli 48 , Ajinkya Rahane 2)

Ajinkya Rahane, who recently was re-appointed as the vice-captain of the Test side after making a successful comeback in the World Test Championship final, opens his account with a single off Jomel Warrican. Later in Warrican's 41st over, the West Indians appear for a catch against Kohli that is turned down by umpire Kettleborough, and it turns out to be a case of the ball undergoing vicious turn after pitching on the increasingly deteriorating surface that made it look like VK got an edge. So sharp was the turn that the ball reared up and went all the way to Cornwall at slip at head height.

20:31 (IST)

India vs West Indies LIVE Score

OUT! Jaiswal's superb knock finally comes to an end, and he misses out on the opportunity to register the highest score on Test debut and the first-ever double-century on Test debut by an India.

SIX! First maximum of the day as well as for Jaiswal in this innings as he dances down the track and smashes the ball straight down the ground. Looks like he's in the mood to collect runs at a quick pace today. He later collects a treble after driving the ball through the cover region. India's lead touches 200 now!

20:20 (IST)

India vs West Indies LIVE Score

FOUR! Firmly cut behind point by Jaiswal off Joseph, and that brings up the 100-partnership with Kohli for the third wicket! Can this stand turn out to be a massive one like the opening partnership between Jaiswal and Rohit Sharma that was worth 229. IND 340/2

20:16 (IST)

India vs West Indies LIVE Score

After 122 overs,India 336/2 ( Yashasvi Jaiswal 157 , Virat Kohli 46)

After 121 overs,India 330/2 ( Yashasvi Jaiswal 156 , Virat Kohli 41)

A giant puff of dust emerges after Holder pitches the ball full along the off stump in the 120th over. That can’t be good news for the West Indies, who will be up against Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja later on this surface. It isn’t easy for the Indian batters either despite the current score.

19:56 (IST)

India vs West Indies LIVE Score

After 119 overs,India 326/2 ( Yashasvi Jaiswal 153 , Virat Kohli 40)

Kohli moves to 40 with a brace off Warrican after guiding a flat delivery through the square leg region. DROPPED!

Becomes only the third Indian cricketer to score 150 or more in his maiden Test after Shikhar Dhawan (187 in 2013) and Rohit Sharma (177 in 2013). Earlier on the second day, Jaiswal had broken Mohammad Azharuddin's 38-year record for most deliveries faced by an Indian batter in his maiden Test innings.

19:44 (IST)

India vs West Indies LIVE Score

FOUR! Driven down the ground by Jaiswal off Holder. The fielder at mid on gives the ball a chase, but is unsuccessful. The outfield at Windsor Park is quite slow, so the timing has to be precise for the ball to go all the way. IND 320/2

After 115 overs,India 316/2 ( Yashasvi Jaiswal 145 , Virat Kohli 38)

Pitch report by Samuel Badree and Shakera Selman

"There's a lot of rough and cracks are starting to develop. It was hard for the batters. There's going to be more purchase for the spinners."

19:15 (IST)

Yashasvi Jaiswal’s unbeaten 143 has been a patient knock so far with the southpaw having faced 350 deliveries so far but former India spinner Pragyan Ojha feels the debutant might just accelerate on the ‘Moving Day’ and try and get India to a big score in quick time.

“On Day 3, it’ll be very crucial how he starts because it is not easy for a batter on this kind of a tricky track to come on and take on the bowlers. So, as he gets his eyes in, I am pretty sure that he will look to dominate a few bowlers and raise the scoring rate,” Ojha said.

If Ravichandran Ashwin's five-for was the highlight on the opening day of the first Test at Roseau, Dominica, Day 2 well and truly belonged to young Yashasvi Jaiswal who became the 17th Indian to score a century on Test debut and the first to do so in the West Indies.

18:43 (IST)

The opportunity to make his Test debut came to Yashasvi Jaiswal not by design, but by default. It’s not that the 21-year-old has not put in the hard yards in domestic cricket. He has 1845 runs in 15 First-Class matches at an average of 80.21. But it took more than his average and runs for him to make it into the Team India Test side and also get a starting spot.
