India vs West Indies Highlights And Cricket Score 1st Match - Test Commentary

End of Over : 96.4 IND: 297/10

Now, The hosts will have to bat really well as it is not an easy pitch to bat on while India will look to make use of the new ball and take early wickets. Join us in a little while for the second session.

However, they were pretty solid yesterday when they picked up three early wickets but Rahane played a good innings of 81 runs and helped India make a comeback in the game. Jadeja along with Pant did well to see off the final session on Day 1. Jadeja then continued the good work in taking India's total closer to 300.

For the hosts, Roach was the pick of the bowlers as he picked up four wickets. As far as today is concerned, none of the bowlers looked threatening and gave away easy runs. They started well by getting Pant out early but lacked discipline after that.

With that wicket, it is LUNCH ON DAY 2. It has been India's day so far as they have added 94 runs in the session. Although the visitors lost Rishabh Pant early on in the day but Ishant Sharma and Jadeja put on a brilliant 60-run partnership to frustrate the hosts. Ishant finally fell when the score was 260 and Shami followed him soon after. Jadeja went on to counter-attack and reached his 11th fifty in the meantime. India have scored 297 runs which is a respectable total on this wicket.

96.4 W

Jason Holder to Ravindra Jadeja. OUT! Caught! Holder closes the Indian innings with his first wicket. Lands this one on the shortish length which is coming on the body of Jadeja. He looks to slam this with a pull but gets a top edge as the ball hurries on to him. The ball goes high in the air behind the keeper as Shai Hope goes back to pouch that one comfortably. A fighting knock from Jadeja as he batted with the tail.

70.5 W

Kemar Roach to Rishabh Pant. OUT! Caught! West Indies strike early. Number four for Roach. Good length ball closer to the fourth stump. Pant after hitting a couple of good shots goes hard at the ball. It shapes a tad bit away to take an outside edge and go to the Windies skipper, Holder who takes it comfortably at second slip. One would wonder if this style works for Pant as he looked to get in. Maybe he should play with the attacking instinct that he possesses. For now, West Indies have the upper hand now as he could've been dangerous. The question which stands is how Jadeja will play from here?

We should've been underway by now as per the information given at Stumps on Day 1 but we are yet to begin. Seems like we will have an extended final session which means we will be starting at normal time, 0930 local. If there is any further information, will keep you updated.

The first day of this Test ended early as rain took centre stage and as a result the play will begin half an hour earlier today (Local 0900). The visitors will be having mixed emotions following the play on Day 1 as they recovered from a bad start to end the day on 203/6. Looking forward to today's play, India will be looking to get to the 300-run mark which will be an above par score on this pitch. As for the Calypso Kings, they will try to bowl out the Men In Blue before they reach 250. Join us in a while as an important first session awaits us on Day 2.

Greetings and a warm welcome to our coverage of Day 2 of the Test match between West Indies and India. We have positive news in terms of the weather as the sun is shining and the chances of showers are minimal.

... Day 2, Session 1 ...

Now, what will be on offer for Day 2? This is the last recognized batting pair for the Indians. The two left-handers can go bonkers from ball one and add quick runs for the Indians to take them towards a strong total. Or, bat long and hard, tire out the home side and take the total close to 300 without being separated. West Indies will look to get rid of this pair and then look to get through the tail. Also, we will be starting 30 minutes from the routine time to cover the lost overs of Thursday. Join us on Friday, 23rd August, 2019 at 9 am local (1300 GMT). Till then, goodbye!

The Windies opening bowlers, Roach and Gabriel returned to thump the Indians with two quick wickets as they removed Vihari and Rahane. Pant and Jadeja were looking decent in the middle when rain arrived to cut the day short.

West Indies were on top early on, courtesy brilliant spells from Roach and Gabriel. It looked like going towards their way but KL Rahul and Ajinkya Rahane stitched a superb 68-run stand to pull the things back towards the visitors. A fluent-looking Rahul failed to convert his start yet again, getting a soft dismissal down the leg side but Rahane continued the good work for the side. He, along with Hanuma Vihari, added 82 runs, raking up his half ton in the process, to take things slightly away from the Windies.

End of an exciting day's play then. The Indians have done well after early hiccups to reach 203 in 68.5 overs. Very difficult to say who holds an edge after Stumps but this is heading towards an exciting Day 2.

Done and dusted for the day then as rain becomes heavier. The umpires were doing an inspection when the rain became heavier. They decide that we won't be able to return and that will be Stumps.

Update 1650 Local (1250 GMT) - Scratch what we just said. It has started to rain again and the umpires are out in the middle with their umbrellas open. It's raining heavily right now and maybe that should be end of the day's play.

Update 1645 Local (1245 GMT) - It seems like the rains are playing hide and seek with us as it has stopped to rain now. The covers are coming off and the play should resume shortly. The umpires are out in the middle doing the inspection of the pitch.

Ha ha ha! Who knows the ground and the weather better than the local groundsmen. They sensed that the rain was around and started pulling the covers. However, the umpires asked them to return back. And, as they were going back, it started bucketing down and the umpires had to call them back. That means another rain stoppage as the players walk into the pavilion.

Looks like the groundsmen will be coming onto the pitch as rain looks imminent. Dark clouds can be seen coming from afar and the ground staff is looking ready for any stoppage. It is looking very very windy as the covers are not even staying on the ground.

64.1 1

Roston Chase to Ravindra Jadeja. In the air but safe! Fuller ball on middle as Jadeja looks to lift this over the cover fielder. He gets a leading edge to that as the ball lobbed in the air towards cover. Nobody there and the batters take one.

Roston Chase is back into the attack now. 9-1-36-1 so far from him.

DRINKS! Good initial hour for the Windies in this final session as they have removed set Rahane and Vihari. Rahane looked well set for his ton but got out very unfortunately. Pant has played a couple of top shots but have beaten on a couple of balls as well. With him and Jadeja in the middle, one would expect the runs to be flowing. Interesting to see if the Windies can get rid of the last recognized batting pair to into the Indian tail.

End of Over : 64 6 Runs IND: 196/6
63.6 2

Jason Holder to Rishabh Pant. Definitely a chance for three but the batters take just two. Pant drives this fuller one outside off towards the gap at covers. The ball does not have enough power on it to cross the fence. Shannon Gabriel gives it a tired chase and cuts it off a couple of yards inside the fence. Pant was halfway down the pitch but Jadeja sends him back as he didn't want the third.

61.3 0

Shannon Gabriel to Rishabh Pant. Huge appeal now! Fullish ball on middle and leg from Gabriel and Pant misses his flick. Gabriel appeals for an LBW but that looked like pitching outside leg. Holder thinks for a review but decides against it. Good call in the end from the Windies skipper that as Ball Tracker confirmed that it was pitched outside leg.

Shannon Gabriel to Rishabh Pant. Fuller outside off, left alone by Pant.

61.1 0

60.6 0

Kemar Roach to Ravindra Jadeja. NOT OUT! Jadeja knew he had edged it and that's why he had straight away gone for the review. Length ball just outside off, it pitched and came back in with the angle. Jadeja looked to hit it towards the off side but it seemed that he missed the ball. The Windies team went all out in appealing and the umpire raised the finger after thinking about it for a while. Jadeja straightaway went for the review. Replays roll in, Hawk Eye comes into play and shows that yes, Jadeja's judgement was right. He did get an inside edge on it before the ball hit the pad.

Jadeja has been given out LBW after a loud appeal but Jadeja goes for the review instantly. He has got it right as well as he got an inside edge into the pads which is confirmed by the Ultra Edge. Decision overturned.

Ravindra Jadeja walks out to the middle. Will we see a sword celebration from him? India needs runs from him here.

59.4 W

Shannon Gabriel to Ajinkya Rahane. OUT! Bowled! Chopped on! Rahane is dismissed on 81 and one must say it is a very soft dismissal after a great innings so far. Length ball outside off, Gabriel bowls this one coming in with the angle. Rahane looks to cut it but gets an inside edge on it and the ball is chopped onto the leg stump. Rahane looks distraught at how he has got out and one can say he has rode his luck in this innings. Rahane departs and India are 6 down for 189 with two new batters are at the crease. Window of opportunity for the hosts?

Rishabh Pant arrives! How will he start his innings? Aggression? Calmness? Plenty to look forward to as he walks out in the middle.

54.5 W

Kemar Roach to Hanuma Vihari. OUT! CAUGHT! The West Indies have again found a breakthrough at a crucial moment and half the Indian side is back in the hut. Roach bowls this one on a length, on the fourth stump line. He gets this one to swing away after pitching. The edge is induced from Vihari and the ball barely carries to Hope but he dives well in front to take a low catch. Vihari will be disappointed to get a good start and then depart at such a crucial time. Third wicket for Roach in this innings.

53.1 1

Shannon Gabriel to Hanuma Vihari. Awkward bounce here off the pitch. The ball is pitched on a good length and goes between the bat and pad of Vihari as he looks to push it towards the off side. It rises rapidly on keeper Hope and he fails to collect it. The ball hits his glove and rolls towards fine leg as they take a single.

Gabriel is on as well from the other end. His numbers till now - 10-2-38-1

End of Over : 53 4 Runs IND: 172/4

... Day 1, Session 3 ...

Update 1440 local (1840 GMT) - We have an update after that inspection. We will begin the final session at 1455 local, weather permitting.

Update 1433 local (1833 GMT) - Well, the tea time is over but seems we will have a slightly delayed start for the final session of the day. No rain there but the covers are on the pitch. Also, we have the umpires doing the inspection. Shouldn't be long before we start.

So, the heavens have opened up and the umpires have declared for early Tea to be taken. The visitors are 134/4 and have just lost one wicket of KL Rahul in this session. He will be pretty disappointed in the manner in which it happened though as he was looking set for a big score. Ajinkya Rahane survived two scares before he reached his half ton as he was dropped on alternate balls by Miguel Cummins and Shai Hope respectively. After KL's departure, Vihari walked in and looked pretty solid out in the middle adding a 41-run stand with Ajinkya Rahane. Do come back and join us as we resume the third session on Day 1.

Covers coming on! Where did that came from. Smart from the umpires as they call for covers seeing the heavy wind. Also, they have taken an early Tea.

We are back after Lunch on Day 1. The Windies players are out on the field and so are the Indian batters, KL Rahul and Ajinkya Rahane. Kemar Roach will continue with the ball for the hosts and will look to break this growing stand. Rahane will face the first ball.

... Day 1, Session 2 ...

68 runs for 3 wickets in 24 overs. After winning the toss, Holder, the Windies skipper, opted to bowl first. His bowlers didn't disappoint him as they picked up early wickets. And, if the three wickets which fell accounts Indian skipper Virat Kohli and Cheteshwar Pujara among them in single digits, one can understand who was on top early on. However, KL Rahul has looked fluent while Rahane has dug in well to add 43 runs between them. With this strong looking stand, one would feel that both the sides go to Lunch with confidence. When we come back after the break, Windies will look to break this grooming stand while the Indians would want the runs to keep flowing in the second session. We'll be back in a while.

The ball kisses the outside edge of the bat and Shai Hope is not gonna miss out. The best batsman of the last Test series for India is outta here. He does not look to fiddle at the ball outside off this early in the innings but he felt for that one outside off, maybe because the ball was coming in but left a hint when it came close to the bat. But not the way Pujara starts his innings. What a start for West Indies though.

We are all set to begin! The Indian openers, KL Rahul and Mayank Agarwal are out in the middle. Kemar Roach to start the proceedings for West Indies. Three slips and a gully in place. Here we go...

Indian skipper, Virat Kohli is happy with how it has panned out. The skipper informs that they want to put runs on the board and put the Windies under pressure. Mayank Agarwal and KL Rahul will be opening the innings for India. Kohli informs about the changes and mentions that Saha, Ashwin, Rohit, Kuldeep and Umesh are left out of the playing XI.

West Indies skipper, Jason Holder, says they are going to field first. Holder informs that his team will bowl first as he feels there is more moisture on the pitch. States the guys are prepared and they are looking forward to face the no. 1 side in Tests. States that they want to start the series well. Informs they are going in with 4 pacers and they have one debutant, Shamarh Brooks.

INDIA (PLAYING XI) - Mayank Agarwal, KL Rahul, Cheteshwar Pujara, Virat Kohli (C), Ajinkya Rahane, Hanuma Vihari, Rishabh Pant (WK), Ravindra Jadeja, Ishant Sharma, Mohammed Shami, Jasprit Bumrah.

WEST INDIES (PLAYING XI) - Kraigg Brathwaite, John Campbell, Shai Hope (WK), Shamarh Brooks, Darren Bravo, Shimron Hetmyer, Roston Chase, Jason Holder (C), Miguel Cummins, Shannon Gabriel, Kemar Roach.

TOSS - Up goes the coin, Kohli calls heads and it is... tails. The hosts have won the toss and will be bowling first.

Daren Ganga informs that the weather is cloudy here in Antigua. There is a hint of grass on the pitch and it will result in varying bounces. There are dark patches on the pitch due to moisture. Pace will be the dominating factor. Have to bat carefully early on in the innings. Very good looking pitch but there is more for the seamers than the spinners.

An exciting Test series awaits us in the Caribbean and both the sides will be eager to start their ICC World Test Championship campaigns on a positive note.

The Men In Blue have dominated this tour completely as they have won every match that has been played. A whitewash in the T20 series was followed up by a 2-0 win in the ODI series. The hosts were in a couple of winning situations but failed to capitalize on it. Jason Holder mentioned that they need to take more responsibility in these kind of situations and make the most of them. The visitors need to be on their toes and not take the hosts lightly as they won the last Test series they played at home against the English.

Welcome to our coverage of the first Test of India's tour of West Indies in Antigua. It is the start of both sides' ICC World Test Championship campaign and they will be looking to grab the whole 60 points on offer in this match.

End of Over : 74.2 WI: 222/10

John Campbell comes into the attack.

India were frustrated in the first half as they were unable to pick up wickets. Now they will look to build up a good lead and bat Windies out of the game. Windies, on the other hand, will look to pick up early wickets and reduce the deficit. Be back in a while for the third innings.

Many Windies batsmen got starts but threw their wickets away at crucial moments. Ishant Sharma was the star for India as he picked a five-fer. Chase was the only batsman who looked like sticking it out and it is not a good looking scorecard for them.

West Indies have been bowled out for 222 and they trail by 75. West Indies have added 33 runs today and credit goes to Holder for sticking it out and playing a handy innings of 39 runs. Cummins played out 45 balls without scoring a run before Shami got the big wicket of Holder. Jadeja then got the last wicket of Cummins.

74.2 W

Ravindra Jadeja to Miguel Cummins. OUT! BOWLED! The Windies have been bowled out for 222 and trail India by 75 runs going into the third innings. Cummins is the last man to be dismissed after he faced 45 balls without scoring a single run! Jadeja comes around the wicket and bowls this one flatter and on the off pole, it spins back in just towards Cummins. He goes to slog sweep it but misses the ball altogether and it crashes into the off pole. The stumps are shattered and after a frustrating opening hour for the visitors, they have taken both the wickets quickly after Drinks.

Ravindra Jadeja to Shannon Gabriel. Jadeja around the wicket, bowls this one flatter and on middle and leg, it hits the inside half of Gabriel's bat and the ball rolls towards fine leg for a single.

Poor review from India and they have lost their first review.

REVIEW TIME AGAIN! This time India take the review but it seems to be going down the leg side to the naked eye and yes, the Ball Tracker has confirmed it. Impact is way outside leg.

Shannon Gabriel is the last man in for the hosts. The skipper is out of here and India will be looking to wrap this up now as soon as possible.

73.1 W

Mohammed Shami to Jason Holder. OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Excellent delivery from Shami. It is a good length ball outside the off stump line, Holder goes for a drive but gets a thick outside edge back to the keeper.

Mohammed Shami to Jason Holder. NOT OUT! However, the review has been retained by India. The umpire signaled not out but the ball is clipping the top of middle and leg. This one is pitched on a good length around off, the ball nips back in with the angle and hits Holder on the back pad and carries to Pant after that. Jason is on the front foot and maybe it's his big stature that the umpire takes into account as the Indian players are denied after a loud appeal. After a bit of consideration with Shami, Kohli goes for the review. Ultra Edge comes in and shows no bat involved. Now comes the Ball Tracker, pitched outside off, impact in line, clipping the top of middle and leg. Umpire's call and Holder survives. India though retain the review.

REVIEW TIME! This looks to be hitting middle but Holder is a tall man so you never know. The Indian players think for a while before taking the review.

Ishant Sharma to Miguel Cummins. Starts with a good length delivery on middle, Cummins attempts to defend but misses and gets hit on the box. He looks in serious pain here and is lying down on the ground.

We are all set to begin Day 3. The Indian players are in a huddle and take their respective fielding positions. Jason Holder and Miguel Cummins make their way out to the middle. Ishant Sharma will start the proceedings for the day.

Daren Ganga is there for the pitch report. He says that the cracks have opened up and there is rain predicted in the morning session. He is joined by Sunil Gavaskar and he says the pitch has played well but there are cracks which will worry the batters but it should still be good for batting. He further says that the batsmen should not look to drive uppishly on this wicket.

Murali Karthik is down for an Interview with Ishant Sharma. He says that he will look to continue bowling well. He further states that he was not expecting that Windies will come out all guns blazing and after discussions with the skipper, he changed his length to a back of a length delivery where it is difficult to hit the ball. On the commentators suggesting to bowl over the wicket, Ishant says that he is not sure and it depends on the conditions. Says that he started bowling more fuller deliveries over the last two years which helped him get more wickets in England and Australia. Sharma states that County cricket has helped him over the last few years.

The wicket of the Windies skipper holds the key for both the sides today because if India get him out early on, the hosts would be in big trouble and the Calypso Kings would want their skipper to take them as close to the visitors total as he can. An enthralling and match-deciding first session awaits us and both the sides will be geared up for it.

Welcome to Day 3 of the first Test match between the West Indies and India. Day 2 ended with the hosts 8 down with just 189 runs on the board. They trail the visitors by 108 runs with skipper Jason Holder and Miguel Cummins on the pitch.

... Day 3, Session 1 ...

Earlier in the day, Jadeja's half ton took India to a above par score. That knock could well prove to be the difference in the end. However, if Holder can do something similar, then we can be in for an exciting day of cricket on Saturday. Do join us at 0930 local (1330 GMT). Until then, its goodbye!

India did not start as well as they would have hoped with the ball but got their lines and lengths right soon after and kept picking wickets at regular intervals. Ishant Sharma was the star as he picked up his 9th five-wicket haul in Tests. Other bowlers supported him well and all except for Vihari, chipped in with a wicket at least.

The hosts started well with the bat but ended up being three down at Tea. After the break, Chase and Hope stitched a good 42-run stand before Chase threw his wicket just before his half century. Hetmyer and Hope continued the good work before a short rain break halted the momentum. The break proved to be a bad one for the Windies as they slipped from 174-5 to 179-8. Now Windies' hopes lie on skipper Holder to get them as close as possible towards India's score.

That is Stumps on Day 2! It has been an absorbing day of Test match cricket with India in a commanding position by the end of it all. West Indies end the Day 108 runs behind the visitors with Holder being the only recognized batsman at the crease.

End of Over : 59 0 Runs WI: 189/8

Drinks! West Indies have done well here in the first hour against this sharp Indian attack. They started well with Campbell attacking from the word go.

Interesting to see how things pan out in the next hour.

The batsmen think of taking an overthrow but decide against it but then the cover fielder throws the ball at the bowler's end thinking of running the batter out but misses. And there's no one to backup the underarm throw and they eventually get the second run. Sloppy stuff this from India.

End of Over : 112.3 IND: 343/7

The stars for India were Ajinkya Rahane, Hanuma Vihari and Virat Kohli. Rahane scored his first Test ton after two years which provided a big relief for him. Vihari narrowly missed out on his ton as he was dismissed on 93. Skipper Virat Kohli also scored a half ton. Vihari provided the much needed impetus in the innings as he accelerated the run rate. The West Indies did not have a lot in their locker and Roston Chase was the pick of the bowler's for them as he picked up a 4-fer. Join us in a while to see how the Windies innings unfolds.

The Indians had partnerships all along the way in the second innings. The two big ones especially, one between Rahane and Kohli and the other between Rahane and Vihari completely took the game away from the hosts. The Windies bowlers looked completely out of sorts and the only bowler who impressed for them was Kemar Roach. Another problem for them was the fitness of the bowlers. Cummins, Gabriel and Roach were struggling throughout the innings as they were repeatedly going back into the dugouts.

So, India have declared their innings after scoring 343/7 in the second innings and they now lead by 418 runs. The Windies will need to beat the world record set by their predecessors if they want to chase this down.

112.3 W

Jason Holder to Hanuma Vihari. OUT! CAUGHT! No century for Vihari then. And that is a very poor ball to get out to. This is shortish ball going down, Vihari looks to pull this one away but gets a faintest of touch of the gloves and the ball goes down the leg side for Hope to swallow. He does not make a mistake. Kohli declares with that wicket. Target for West Indies will be 419 runs.

Drinks! Lead for India continues to grow with Vihari closing towards his maiden Test ton. Rahane already reached the milestone before getting dismissed. Pant came in and went in the search of quick runs but Kohli doesn't seem to be interested in the declaration at the moment. Interesting hour ahead.

111.4 W

Roston Chase to Rishabh Pant. OUT! CAUGHT! Substitute Keemo Paul takes the catch at deep fine leg and Pant's short innings comes to an end. This one was tossed up on the leg pole, Pant gets down on one knee and looks to slog sweep it for a maximum. He does not get proper contact on it as it comes off the toe end of the bat and Keemo Paul does well as he dives forward and takes a difficult catch. India 6 down now and they are looking towards the skipper for the declaration. He says no as he wants Vihari to complete his ton maybe.

Good length ball on off and middle, Rahane looks to slam this one over cover but mistimes it as the bat turns in his hand and the ball goes off the toe end of his bat towards cover. Holder takes a simple catch running back. Vihari runs towards Rahane to congratulate him. The commentators on air wondered if he was going off with him but that wasn't the case. A brilliant innings by him comes to an end and he is dismissed for 102. He has done well to put India in a dominating position as they lead by 397. The 135-run stand has been broken here.

107.3 0

Shannon Gabriel to Ajinkya Rahane. NOT OUT! Umpires call and the review is retained by the West Indies. Now this looks very close and indeed it is. Clipping the top of leg pole. This one pitches on middle and leg, and nips back in with angle, Rahane misses his flick and is hit on the thigh pad. The Windies players put in a soft appeal but the umpire denies it. The hosts review as they think it is a close one. Replays roll in, Ultra Edge shows no edge on this one. Hawk Eye comes in and shows that the ball is clipping leg. Nothing going the Windies' way here.

Review time! West Indies have gone for a review after Rahane has been adjudged not out by the umpire. Looked close.

107.2 2

Shannon Gabriel to Ajinkya Rahane. Off the toe end of the bat this one, Rahane looks to smash this full ball outside off over the mid off fielder but does not get enough of the bat on it. Two runs taken as the fielder mops it up.

107.1 0

Shannon Gabriel to Ajinkya Rahane. Length ball on middle and off, pushed towards mid on off the back foot.

When will Kohli think about declaration? Because he is not waiting for the score or target. What he would be thinking is - 'If I declare now and give West Indies 4.5 sessions to play, what if they drain out my bowlers keeping them 100-plus overs in this heat? The second Test is just 3 days away and there will not be time to recover. Better keep batting and declare with an hour to go for the day.'

... Day 4, Session 2 ...

The Men In Blue lost skipper Virat Kohli early in the day but his troops continued the good work after his dismissal.

Rahane played cautiously and is 10 short of completing his tenth Test match ton. The West Indies bowlers have not bowled well and given runs away cheaply. Two of their pacers are in the dugout with some injury issues and the hosts will be hoping that they come back and join them after the Lunch break. Do come back and join us for the second session of Day 4.

LUNCH ON DAY 4! India are CRUISING along! 29 overs, just the 1 wicket and 102 runs in this session. The 100-run stand also came up between Vihari and Rahane off the last ball of this session and the visitors couldn't have asked for much more. They lead by 362 runs.

Pitch Report - Daren Ganga says it is a little bit cool, cloudy and windy. Ganga reckons that the batters can get some runs here around the good and fuller length. Sunil Gavaskar is alongside Ganga and he says that the follow through of Cummins has made some foot marks and Chase might benefit from it. Kemar Roach is gonna be the key says Mr. Gavaskar for the Calypso Kings. Daren Ganga suggests that the hosts will need their best bowlers to step up and the hosts should be aiming for a draw at the very best.

Going into Day 4, India will be looking to score big and take their lead above the 400-run mark. The Windies bowling has looked toothless thus far except for the bowling of Kemar Roach and it is pivotal for them to take early wickets. A decisive first hour of play awaits us and both the sides will be looking to take an advantage early on.

Welcome to the coverage of Day 4 of the Test match between West Indies and India. The visitors are in a commanding position after three days of play as they have a 260-run lead over the hosts. The Men In Blue have their captain and vice-captain at the crease amidst an unbeaten 104-run stand.

... Day 4, Session 1 ...

Earlier in the day, India had managed to get a lead of 75 runs when they wrapped up the Windies innings for 222. India started well with Agarwal and Rahul batting cautiously before Mayank threw his wicket away. Then, Pujara and Rahul continued the good work before they fell in quick succession. Looking forward to Day 4, India will look to bat the Windies out of the game while the hosts will look to take wickets as quickly as possible. It promises to be an exciting Day of Test cricket. Join us at 0930 local (1330 GMT). Until then, Adios and take care.

West Indies bowlers were poor in the last session as they were wayward with their lines and lengths and allowed Kohli and Rahane easy runs. Barring Roach, none of the other bowlers were able to trouble the Indian batsmen. Kemar bowled with intensity and troubled both the batsmen at the crease but was unlucky to not end up with a wicket in the final session.

An excellent session for India here. They have managed to add 87 runs in the 35 overs and swelled their lead to 260. Kohli and Rahane started this session when India had just lost 3 wickets before the break. They have done a magnificent job here with a brilliant 104-run stand and are going really strong at the moment. Both the batsmen registered their respective fifties and have taken the visitors to a commanding position.

Kemar Roach to Ajinkya Rahane. BIG SHOUT FOR LBW! It is a good length ball on middle, Rahane looks to flick but misses and gets hit on the pads. Roach appeals but nothing from the umpire.

West Indies lose one of their two reviews.

REVIEW TIME! The Windies team has gone for a review following an appeal for LBW. Looks to be going down leg and yes, Ball Tracker confirms that the umpire was right as the ball is missing the leg pole by some distance.

...Day 3, Session 3...

Windies should also be happy as they picked up two important wickets in the latter half of the session. Roston Chase was the pick of the bowlers as he picked up two wickets with Roach picking up the all important wicket of Pujara. Post the break, the Windies should look to make further inroads while the visitors should look to swell their lead as much as possible. Join us in a while for the final session of Day 3.

It is TEA on Day 3. It has been a shared session as India added 84 valuable runs in the 30 overs which were bowled. They lead by 173 runs at the moment. After the loss of Mayank Agrawal, KL Rahul and Cheteshwar Pujara steadied things up with a 43-run stand before KL Rahul threw his wicket away.

The visitors have not lost any wickets in the first session but Agarwal did survive a scare off the first ball off his innings.

That ends the presentation ceremony of the first Test match of the Series where the number one side has stamped their authority. They get 60 points with this thumping away win in the ICC World Test Championship. They will go into the second Test with a lot of confidence while the hosts, well they have got a lot of pondering to do going into the final Test. The second Test begins 30th of August at 0930 local (1430 GMT). Till then, take care.

Indian Skipper, Virat Kohli, says that the last time they played here it was outstanding just like today and Rahane was very important to them alongwith KL Rahul in the first innings. Both of them were very strong when they wanted a partenership. The handling of Bumrah over every format is very important for the team, says Kohli. They didn't let him stress out as he didn't play any white ball cricket after the World Cup. Kohli also says that they are pretty settled in the pace attack with Yadav and Saini there too. The important thing is sharing the work load. As a part timer Hanuma Vihari does well and can bowl some quick overs and manage the over rate. On being asked about the role of captaincy, he says it is a responsibility that he is fulfilling and he credits his players for it because although he is the leader but the execution is in the hands of the individuals. He expects the hosts to come out hard in Jamaica and will be wanting a professional performance in all departments from his team.

MAN OF THE MATCH, Ajinkya Rahane, says it feels really special as he got a hundred after a long time. He says that the partnership between him and Rahul in the first innings was very important, maybe even more important than the hundred. He dedicates the century to the people who backed him throughout this tough phase. Informs that the wicket was pretty damp on the first day and the Windies bowled very well early on. The plan was always about batting on and the runs would automatically come.

West Indies skipper, Jason Holder praises his bowlers but wants his top order to be consistent. He says that they are leaving too much for the middle order. He further states that they needed to bat better in the first innings. On his team selection, Holder states that they played with the same combination in their last series against England and played really well. Says that they have themselves to blame for this poor performance. Further goes on to say that the Indians bowled really well and spells like these can dismantle any batting lineup. Hopes to turn things around in the second Test.

Jasprit Bumrah, the man who got a fifer is giving an interview to Murali Karthik. He says that he is feeling good about the win. Says that he along with Ishant were using the wind to shape in and shape away the ball respectively. On being asked by Karthik about his action, Bumrah says that a lot of hard work goes into developing the action, hiding the variations and deceiving the batters. He adds that playing regular Test cricket has helped him a lot. On being asked about the wicket, Jasprit says it was on the flatter side. Karthik asks Bumrah about what the conversations are between the trio of fast bowlers (Shami, Ishant and Bumrah) Bumrah responds that they communicate a lot between them. They suggest each other just to bowl in the good areas even if they are not getting wickets. On being asked some competition with himself after a bit of disappointment in the first innings, Bumrah says it was nothing as such. He was feeling a little sore in the back after returning from the break. Murali thanks him jokingly about earning everyone a one day break.

Indians extended their domination with a superb batting performance in the second innings with Rahane raking up a ton after a long time. He stitched important stands with skipper Kohli and then Hanuma Vihari. Kohli fell after reaching his half century while Vihari got out pretty close to his maiden ton. Windies bowlers apart from Roach never looked threatening in the entire second innings.

For Windies, during their first innings, almost all the batters got a start but could not convert them into a big one. Ishant Sharma was the star for the Indians in the bowling department as he picked up a fifer, helping India take 75-run lead.

Going back, on the first day, Windies started strongly by by taking three quick wickets . But KL Rahul and Rahane got the visitors back in the game with a good stand. Rahane along with Jadeja got to their half centuries and made sure Indians had a decent total on the board. Windies bowlers, on the other hand, were ordinary after making the early inroads and allowed India get ahead by taking closer to 300.

Bumrah and Ishant started thumping the Windies with wickets at regular intervals. The hosts never recovered and had no answers to those unplayable deliveries. Shami came in and did his bit to dismiss the two Windies batters. Jadeja got some stick from Roach in his 4-over spell but that just delayed the inevitable as Ishant finished the innings with a bumper.

Sensational stuff from the Indian bowlers to bundle the hosts for their lowest score against India in Tests. First win in ICC Test championships for India with this one. Indians were always favourite to win this match but they were absolutely lethal in doing it.

Mohammed Shami to Shannon Gabriel. OUT! CAUGHT! Another wicket for Shami and the Windies are 9 down. Length ball around the off pole, Gabriel looks to lift it over mid off but does so down the wrong line. He gets an outside edge on it and the ball carries to the keeper, Rishabh Pant.

Mohammed Shami to Roston Chase. OUT! BOWLED! The last recognized batsman for the hosts departs. Shami bowls this one around a length and off, it pitches and straightens a bit. Chase doesn't anticipate the movement and plays down the wrong line as he tries to flick it towards the leg side. The ball crashes into the off pole and Chase has to make the long walk back.

On the hips of Jason, he flicks this one uppishly towards the square leg where Vihari was stationed. The last one fell short but this one carried to him at the perfect height to his right. Vihari gets two hands to it but it wobbles out. Ishant looks disappointed with him but captain Kohli tells him to keep his chin up.

Jasprit Bumrah to Shai Hope. OUT! BOWLED! Hope is outta here! The off pole is sent cartwheeling by Bumrah again. His fourth wicket of the innings and he looks imperious with the ball in his hand right now. This was a good length ball around middle and off, it swings away after pitching. Hope tries to block it out but does so inside the line and is beaten by the away movement of the ball. It crashes into the off pole and the Indian players are ecstatic as the Windies are 6 down. Almost an unplayable delivery this and the visitors are just four wickets away from a victory.

Ishant Sharma to Shai Hope. HUGE APPEAL FOR A CAUGHT BEHIND! Not out says that umpire. This is a peach from Ishant which pitches on a good length ball and comes in. Hope looks to work it down the leg side but is late in the shot. Pant pouches the ball behind and makes a huge appeal. He looked confident but Kohli does not go for the review. A good call from the Indian skipper as the Hawk Eye suggested that it hit the back pad of Hope and not the bat.

The Indians are out on the field in the huddle. They disperse and take their positions following the pep talk by the skipper. Roston Chase and Shai Hope are out in the middle. The latter will be on strike. Jasprit Bumrah to continue his over.

... Day 4, Session 3 ...

The second session started with the Indians scoring runs at a very good pace. Rahane and Vihari led India to a huge target of 419 runs. It was a daunting task for the West Indies and they did not live up to it. The visitors came out to bowl with just one intention, 'ATTACK', and so they did as they have dismantled the West Indies batting order with half the side back in the hut with just 15 runs on the board. The victory is almost inevitable now as the Indians will be looking to end this match today itself and seal the victory. Join us for the third session as it might as well prove to be the last one of the match.

DOMINATION! Utter domination by the Indians and they look to be in a hurry to finish off this match. They have taken 5 wickets in 7.3 overs of the second West Indian innings and put themselves on the brink of their first victory of the ICC World Test Championship campaign.

7.3 W

Jasprit Bumrah to Darren Bravo. OUT! BOWLED! Bumrah is on fire! Number three for him and half the Windies side is done inside 8 overs for just 15 runs. Fuller ball on off, swinging into the batsman. Bravo looks for a drive by being rooted in the crease. The ball swings in to sneak through the bat and pad to shatter the stumps. Bravo has no clue what happened as he walks back to the pavilion. AND THAT WILL BE TEA ON DAY 4.

7.1 2

Jasprit Bumrah to Darren Bravo. Fuller one on the pads, Bravo goes for a flick but this goes uppishly over short backward square leg. The ball rolls fine and they take two. Off the mark with that.

Ishant Sharma to Shimron Hetmyer. OUT! CAUGHT! This time Hetmyer holes out and Rahane makes amends for the dropped catch by his skipper. Fullish ball outside off, Hetmyer looks to drive at this one but he was nowhere near it. The ball moves away after pitching, it gets the thick outside edge of Hetmyer's bat and this time Rahane at third slip makes no mistake. Hetmyer, unlike Rahane cannot make the most of his dropped chance. West Indies 4 down and their wickets are falling like nine pins.

6.6 1

Ishant Sharma to Shimron Hetmyer. NO BALL! Good length ball on middle and off, blocked out by Hetmyer.

Jasprit Bumrah to Shimron Hetmyer. DROPPED! An unlikely one by the skipper here. Another one around off on a length, Hetmyer defends at this one and gets an outside edge on it. It carries straight to Kohli at third slip but he puts it down. KL Rahul tries to go for from second slip but is too late. India would have put themselves in a strong position to wrap up this match today itself had the skipper taken this.

5.2 0

Jasprit Bumrah to Shimron Hetmyer. Beaten! Bumrah getting some great movement here. This is pitched around middle and off, Hetmyer looks to defend but does so inside the line. The ball whizzes past the outside edge after it pitches and straightens. Oohs and aahs by the Indian players.

Ishant Sharma to Shamarh Brooks. OUT! LBW! Another one! Game over on the fourth day? Full ball on middle from Ishant, Brooks looks to flick this but misses it altogether to get hit flush on the pads. Huge appeal follows and the umpire raises his finger after thinking. The batters converge to discuss about taking a review but they decide against it. A good call eventually as the Ball Tracker arrives and it shows that the on-field call would've stayed as the ball was clipping the leg pole.

End of Over : 4 3 Runs WI: 10/2

Brathwaite fends at it but gets an outside edge on it and the ball goes straight to Rishabh Pant behind the stumps. Brathwaite's poor run in the game continues but he would have wanted to continue here as West Indies are way behind India. The Windies lose their first wicket and they still need 412 runs.

Ishant Sharma to John Campbell. Fuller one outside off, Campbell goes to drive but ball goes off his outside edge towards the second slip who dives to his left to stop that. He picks the ball up and has a shy at the bowler's end which hits. There is a run out appeal out of nowhere which has been taken to the TV umpire. However, Kohli was heard saying that Brathwaite's bat never went out of the crease as per Murali Karthik on the air. The batsman is safe as he plonked his bat in. Risky but Kraigg survives.
