WI vs IND, India in West Indies, 2 Test Series, 2023: West Indies vs India, 1st Test Squad Updates and Match Summary

nd Innings India

We are back after a short break as the umpires walk out to the center. The Indian players are in a huddle at the boundary line before taking their respective positions on the field. Kraigg Brathwaite and Tagenarine Chanderpaul will open the inning for West Indies and will want to get a good partnership going here. Mohammed Siraj has the new ball in his hand and is ready to begin proceedings. Let's go...

... THIRD INNINGS ...

The Indian openers notched up centuries with Yashasvi Jaiswal getting his maiden ton on debut and Rohit Sharma notching up his 10th hundred in Test cricket. Virat Kohli also managed to get to his half-century but survived a couple of dropped chances through his inning. Shubman Gill and Ajinkya Rahane failed to make an impact with Ravindra Jadeja adding a few crucial runs. Ishan Kishan got his first Test run which prompted the Indian skipper to call his batters back. Kemar Roach, Alzarri Joseph, Jomel Warrican, Rahkeem Cornwall, and Alick Athanaze all claimed one wicket each but toiled hard for their reward. We will return shortly for West Indies' second effort.

That is it from India's first inning! The declaration has come from Rohit Sharma with 421 runs on the board and having lost 5 wickets. They have not even played for an hour in this afternoon session and will have a go at the West Indies batters before Tea. West Indies managed to dismiss the dangerous Virat Kohli with Rakheem Cornwall permitted to bowl after Lunch as he made an instant impact which makes us wonder if things would have been different if he was available for the hosts through Day 2 and the first session of Day 3. The Windies will want to bat hard and take it session by session as they look to save this Test match.

We are back for the afternoon session of Day 3 as the umpires make their way out to the middle. The West Indies players make a huddle near the boundary line for a few last-minute instructions from Kraigg Brathwaite before taking their respective positions on the field. Virat Kohli and Ravindra Jadeja will continue their partnership for India and we expect them to score at a faster rate in this session. Kemar Roach (19-5-41-1) has the ball in his hand and is ready to begin proceedings. Let's go...

... DAY 3, SESSION 2 ...

Ravindra Jadeja is out in the middle and is building a nice partnership with Kohli for the fifth wicket as India now lead by 250 runs. West Indies were unable to strike early and it looked like a long grind for them once again. Alzarri Joseph got the big wicket of Jaiswal and when Kemar Roach got the India vice-captain caught at cover, the crowd found their voice. The hosts are still behind in this game but it is good to see that their shoulders have not dropped. They will be boosted by the fact that Rahkeem Cornwall will be permitted to bowl after the break and he is bound to cause some problems. Join us for the second session at 10.10 pm IST (4.40 pm GMT) to see how things pan out.

SESSION SUMMARY - 88 runs and 2 wickets in 29 overs. West Indies have had to be patient once again but despite the two wickets they claimed in this session, it is India who have cemented their position in this Test match. India started the day with a lead of 162 runs and Yashasvi Jaiswal did not take long to get to his 150. His partnership with Virat Kohli reached 110 before he edged one to the keeper and was dismissed on 171. A debut knock he will not forget for a long time as he managed to score more than what the entire West Indies side managed in the first inning. Ajinkya Rahane could not make the most of his opportunity and was dismissed cheaply just before Kohli reached his half-century.

We are all set for Day 3 of this first Test match to begin as the umpires make their way out to the middle. The West Indies players are in a huddle at the boundary line before taking their respective positions on the field. Rahkeem Cornwall is on the field as well but can not bowl till after Lunch. Yashasvi Jaiswal and Virat Kohli stride out to the middle as they look to build on their partnership. Jason Holder has the ball in his hand and is ready to begin proceedings. Let's play...

West Indies were really poor with the bat and accumulated just 150 runs with Alick Athanaze top-scoring with 47 and their bowlers were also not able to save the blushes as they went wicketless for 75.3 overs. It was again their young debutant who drew first blood as he dismissed the India skipper and Jomel Warrican claimed one soon after to give the Windies a slight boost. It is to be seen if Rahkeem Cornwall will make it to the field as he has been a massive miss for the hosts on a turning wicket. One cannot blame Kraigg Brathwaite for not being proactive as he has used as many as nine bowlers in the quest for wickets. Will they be able to claim some early wickets and get the crowd behind them? Or will India continue to pile on the sorrow on the hosts? We will find out soon as we bring you some live action shortly.

After Ravichandran Ashwin’s five-wicket haul on the first day, India have continued to dominate their opposition with the bat. The Indian openers accumulated runs with ease stitching together a 229-run partnership but were relatively watchful in the first session of Day 2. They picked up their scoring rate in the second session with Yashasvi Jaiswal reaching his maiden Test century on debut and Rohit Sharma playing a captain’s knock to notch up his 10th hundred. He could not carry on further and Shubman Gill was disappointing coming in at number 3 for the first time. Virat Kohli and Jaiswal got together but they seemed to lack scoring intent as they faced 205 deliveries to add 72 runs for the third wicket. Yashasvi Jaiswal is seven runs short of reaching 150 and what a massive moment it will be for him to reach his double century on debut.

Hello, and a warm welcome, ladies and gentlemen to our coverage of Day 3 in this first Test between India and West Indies coming from Windsor Park in Dominica. India are well and truly in control of this game with a first-inning lead of 162 and still have 8 wickets in hand. The hosts have their back against the wall and barring a half an hour just before Tea on Day 2, they have had a Test match to forget. The result of this game seems inevitable and how this moving day plays out will be determined when Rohit Sharma decides to declare this inning. There is forecast for rain on Day 5 and the visitors will not want to stretch the game out till then.

... DAY 3, SESSION 1 ...

Right then, another day that has been dominated by the visitors and it has been a pretty one-sided affair so far. India have complete control of this match and will want to push the lead further before having a go at the West Indies batters once again. We are bound to see some exciting action on Day 3 which is considered the moving day of a Test match and we will be back on Friday 14th July. The first ball will be bowled at 7.30 pm IST (2 pm GMT) but you can join us early for the build-up. Cheers!

The man of the hour Yashasvi Jaiswal is up for a chat. He says that this knock is an emotional one for him. He thanks the selectors and the captain for giving him the chance. Adds that he spoke to seniors and it helped him to score runs. Mentions that it was challenging with the hot weather and he wanted to push himself throughout the day. Shares that he likes the challenge of Test cricket and he prepared well for it. Closes by saying that he is proud of his knock and wants to carry on in a similar fashion going ahead.

The visitors started the day well on top with the score of 80 having not lost a single wicket and trailing by just 70 runs. The first session saw both the openers notch up their half-centuries as they looked to preserve their wickets rather than score freely. They scored just 66 runs in 32 overs bringing down the deficit to just four runs. In the afternoon session, they picked up the scoring rate with Yashasvi Jaiswal scoring his first century in Test cricket and becoming the only Indian cricketer to score a hundred on debut in the West Indies. Rohit Sharma also reached his 10th three-figure score but was dismissed by Alick Athanaze on the very next delivery. The young West Indian claimed his maiden Test wicket and Jomel Warrican dismissed Shubman Gill cheaply close to Tea. It has been all India since then and they have a firm grip on this tie with West Indies needing a miracle to save this game.

SESSION SUMMARY - 67 runs and no wickets in 32 overs. India suffered a double blow just before the Tea break and the West Indies players finally seemed to find a spring in their step. They had an opportunity to come out after the break and put the Indian batters under the pump but Virat Kohli did a good job soaking up the pressure as he remains unbeaten on 36. Yashasvi Jaiswal continued to notch up the runs patiently and is unbeaten on 143 runs having faced 350 deliveries. The two of them added 72 runs for the third wicket as India’s lead swelled up to 162 runs. Kraigg Brathwaite suffered an early blow when Rahkeem Cornwall walked off the ground and tried to shuffle around with his bowlers in the quest for wickets. Nine bowlers were used by West Indies with the wicket-keeper Joshua Da Silva and Tagenarine Chanderpaul the only two players not having bowled for the hosts.

... DAY 2, SESSION 3 ...

Rahkeem Cornwall and Jason Holder have both left the field and have not bowled since then which has forced Kraigg Brathwaite to use eight bowlers. The breakthrough came from the most unlikely source as Alick Athanaze claimed his first Test wicket on debut to end the 229-run partnership between the top two Indian batters to give his side some reprieve. Jomel Warrican had bowled threatening lines through the session while inducing some edges and was finally rewarded with a wicket. The hosts still have loads of work to do but will have their tails up with the two scalps before the break. They will want to take the confidence into the rest of their bowling effort. Do join us at 12.30 am IST (7 pm GMT, the previous day) to see how the final session of Day 2 plays out.

SESSION SUMMARY - 99 runs and 2 wickets in 26 overs. India continued to pile on the misery on the West Indian bowlers as the two openers continued to accumulate the runs at ease. Yashasvi Jaiswal reached his maiden Test century and became the first Indian batter to achieve this feat on his debut in the Caribbean as he remains unbeaten on 116. Rohit Sharma also notched up his 10th Test century but lost his wicket the very next ball. One brought about two as Shubman Gill could not make much of an impact at the newly appointed number 3 position. The visitors are well in control of this game though with a lead of 95 runs and they will hope that Virat Kohli can now build a partnership with the young Jaiswal and continue to notch up the runs.

Windies are yet to draw the first blood and it seems like there is a long day on the field in store for them. They will have to come up with better plans and hope to get a few wickets to come back into this game. Can they do it or will India continue on their merry way? We shall find out shortly. Join us back at 10.10 pm IST (4:40 pm GMT) for the start of the second session on Day 2.

SESSION SUMMARY - 66 runs and no wickets in 32 overs. India's session, undoubtedly! An excellent few hours for India sees them through to 146 for no loss at the lunch break. Rohit Sharma and Yashasvi Jaiswal started slowly but settled in nicely and cashed in on the loose balls. Both the batters looked composed and were hardly troubled by the West Indian bowlers. They have gone past their fifties and will look to convert this into a big one. India have stamped their authority on this game and will hope to carry on in a similar manner throughout the day.

We are all set for Day 2 to begin as the umpires make their way out to the middle. The West Indies players stroll out onto the field and take their respective fielding positions. Rohit Sharma and Yashasvi Jaiswal will resume their partnership for India. Jason Holder has the ball in hand and will begin proceedings. Let's play...

The Indian openers, Yashasvi Jaiswal and Rohit Sharma batted with ease and were barely troubled by the West Indies bowlers. Jaiswal, another debutant, played some fine shots and looked confident at the crease. The duo played till the close of play and added 80 without losing a wicket. The Indian batters will look to bat West Indies out of this game by putting up a huge first innings total. On a strip that is deteriorating and seems to have some spin and bounce on offer right from Day 1, they will want to bat just once and unleash their spinners. Will they be able to post a mammoth total? Or will the Windies fight back? Stay tuned as we bring you live action in a short while.

Having lost the toss and asked to bowl first, India bundled out West Indies for a paltry score of 150 in the first innings. Ravichandran Ashwin was the wrecker in chief with his 33rd five-wicket haul while Ravindra Jadeja picked up three scalps. Mohammed Siraj and Shardul Thakur rounded it off with a wicket each to finish an excellent effort with the ball. The Windies batters got starts but could not carry on and departed to poor shots. Alick Athanaze, on Test debut, looked solid and played a fine knock of 47 but failed to make it big as he played one rash shot. Kraigg Brathwaite was the only other batter who reached the 20-run mark in what was a dismal batting performance by the hosts.

Hello, and a warm welcome, ladies and gentlemen to our coverage of Day 2 in this first Test between India and West Indies coming from Windsor Park in Dominica. India put on a dominant display on Day 1 as they find themselves in complete control of this game and will look to press their advantage further when they take the field. The hosts have loads of work to do to get a sniff and keep their chances of winning this game alive. We anticipate this to be another day that will be dominated by the visitors but cricket is a funny game and it is never over till it is over.

... DAY 2, SESSION 1 ...

Right then, that is it from this exciting Day 1 where India have managed to get a stronghold and will look to extend it even further while the Windies will need to execute their plans better and make early inroads to make a comeback in the game. Day 2 will start on 13th July, Thursday at 7.30 pm IST (2 pm GMT), but you can always join us early for the build-up. Cheers!

Ravichandran Ashwin, the star of Day 1 says it was a good performance by the team. Mentions that there was a bit of moisture in the first session and it started to spin a bit more. Claims that he enjoyed bowling in the first session but in the second session he had to adapt more. Informs that they came for practice on this ground and it was a bit dry but they have to bowl slower to get purchase off the wicket. Reckons that the most important thing is to be an international cricketer because, unlike franchise cricket, it is all about adapting and getting better. When asked about Yashasvi Jaiswal, he says that the lad reversed the first ball of the last over which shows what he is made off. Adds that he is vibrant and extremely talented so they hope he goes on to achieve greater things. Ends by saying that their dressing room wants to back him as well as they can.

West Indies, on the other hand, had a forgettable Day 1 as they weren't able to match the levels of the visitors. They elected to bat but it was a dismal performance from them as they were bowled out for a mere 150. Only Alick Athanaze looked solid for his well-made 47 and that too on his debut which says a lot about this Windies team. More than good balls, their batters gave their wickets away with poor shot selections that cost them a lot. Their bowling was a lot better with Alzarri Joseph and Rahkeem Cornwall coming close on a few occasions but they didn't manage to get any wickets which has put them on the back foot in this Test. However, surprisingly there was a lot of turn on offer and the hosts will look to capitalise on that. They will hope that they come up with more energy and determination on Day 2.

Losing the toss did not affect India one bit. They were asked to bowl and all of their bowlers were pretty disciplined. It was looking like a wicket where seamers would get some help up front and Mohammed Siraj and Jaydev Unadkat did get it but with no luck. Rohit Sharma soon realised this is a slow wicket and introduced Ravichandran Ashwin early which proved to be the best decision. He straightaway got them the breakthrough that they wanted and never looked back. Ashwin also became the first Indian to get the wicket of a father-son duo when he got rid of Tagenarine Chanderpaul who is as you all know the son of West Indian legend, Shivnarine Chanderpaul. It was once again the duo of Ashwin and Jaddu that ran through the Windies' batting line-up. India picked up four wickets in each of the first two sessions and then did not take much time in the final session to bowl the hosts out. Ashwin ended up with his 33rd five-wicket haul in Tests while Jadeja got three. Shardul Thakur and Siraj chipped in with one each.

SESSION SUMMARY - 93 runs and 2 wickets in 29.3 overs. A tiring Day 1 comes to an end! It belonged well and truly to India! There was a lot of talk about Yashasvi Jaiswal but except for some early nerves he has been excellent on his debut and Rohit Sharma also supported him well with his experience. They have built up a solid foundation for India with the former ending the Day on 40, as they trail by just 70 runs with all the wickets in hand and chances are high that they will look to outbat the hosts so that they don't have to come out to bat for the second innings.

st Innings West Indies

We are back as the umpires walk out to the middle. The West Indies players take their respective positions on the field. Yashasvi Jaiswal and Rohit Sharma will open the inning for India and will want to get a good partnership going here. Kemar Roach has the new ball in his hand and is ready to begin proceedings. Let's play...

... SECOND INNINGS ...

India have taken 6.3 overs to claim the remaining two wickets and have bowled the hosts out for exactly 150 runs. Kemar Roach and Jomel Warrican were both dismissed for one by Ravindra Jadeja and Ravichandran Ashwin respectively with the latter getting yet another five-wicket haul under his belt. The two spinners accounted for eight wickets that have fallen as they dominated proceedings on Day 1. None of the West Indies batters barring Alick Athanaze could make much of an impact. The debutant fell three runs short of his half-century with only Kraigg Brathwaite the other batter to reach the 20-run mark. Shardul Thakur and Mohammed Siraj chipped in with one wicket each. India will now want to bat once and set a good first innings total with the strong batting line-up they have. Do join us shortly for India's effort...

West Indies have an uphill task to climb to save this match but if their tail wags and manages to push them to the 200-run mark, the bowlers will have something to bowl at. Alick Athanaze fell 3 runs short of his half-century on debut and was the only batter who looked comfortable at the crease. India will want to wrap up this inning at the earliest and allow them to bat on a Day 1 pitch that is bound to deteriorate as the game progresses. Will Ravichandran Ashwin be able to claim yet another five-wicket haul? Do join us at 12.30 am IST (7 pm GMT, the previous day) to see how the final session of Day 1 pans out.

... DAY 1, SESSION 3 ...

SESSION SUMMARY - 69 runs and 4 wickets in 30 overs. Another session has belonged to the visiting side as they have picked up four more wickets and have West Indies pegged against the wall. With just 68 runs on the board and four wickets down at Lunch, the hosts needed a good partnership to bring some stability to their innings. They suffered an early setback as Ravindra Jadeja claimed his second wicket of the match by dismissing Joshua Da Silva. Jason Holder combined with Alick Athanaze to build a 41-run partnership but India resorted to short-pitched bowling and were rewarded with the wicket of Holder. Ravichandran Ashwin joined the party and dismissed Alzarri Joseph and Alick Athanaze in quick succession to put India in a strong position to win this Test match with just two sessions played.

We are back for the second session! The players are already out in the middle as Joshua Da Silva joins Alick Athanaze at the crease for West Indies. Shardul Thakur to start proceedings with the ball.

... DAY 1, SESSION 2 ...

The hosts struggled to build up a partnership and Shardul Thakur too joined the party by sending Raymon Reifer back to the Hut in his first over itself. There were a few close instances or else Windies would have lost half their side by now but luckily for them, Jermaine Blackwood and Alick Athanaze saw out some tricky overs from Ravindra Jadeja and Ashwin collecting runs whenever possible. However, just when Lunch was fast approaching, Mohammed Siraj took a blinder to remove Blackwood on the bowling of Jadeja, and now the hosts are in serious trouble. Clearly, the visitors are ahead and will look to make early inroads in the post-Lunch session while the hosts will hope that someone provides them with some stability in their batting to get back in the game. Join us for the second session at 10.10 pm IST (4.40 pm GMT) to see how things pan out.

SESSION SUMMARY - 68 runs and 4 wickets in 28 overs. The wicket is on the slower side due to all the rain around here. It was hard work for both bowlers and batters but India now has an even more solid grip on the game with a stunning catch from Mohammed Siraj just before Lunch. A patience testing session! India would have hoped for a bit more help from the surface but their bowlers managed well. The Windies openers, Tagenarine Chanderpaul and Kraigg Brathwaite looked solid at the start and handled the swing and lateral movement from pacers. However, just on the hour mark, Ravichandran Ashwin produced a magical delivery to get rid of the former while soon after the latter who tried to take on Aswin lost his wicket with a poor shot which was not needed at all.

He looks to go over the mid off fielder but does not get the cleanest connection. The ball is looping to the right of Mohammed Siraj and seems to be going over him but he sticks his right hand out. He grabs hold of the ball and falls onto the ground but manages to keep his fingers clasped around the cherry. An absolute screamer by the pace bowler and India are right on top in this tie. With the fall of the wicket, the umpires have decided to call it LUNCH on DAY 1.

We are done with the prematch formalities and the two umpires walk to the center. Alick Athanaze is handed his Test cap near the boundary line by Desmond Haynes as the Indian players take their respective positions on the field. Kraigg Brathwaite and Tagenarine Chanderpaul will open the innings for West Indies as they will look to make the most of a first-day pitch. Mohammed Siraj has the new ball in his hand and will begin proceedings. Let's play...

We are moments away from the start of this Test match and for India's tour of the West Indies to begin. Before that, the two sets of players and the match officials will line up on the ground for the national anthems. First, it will be the national anthem of Dominica followed by India's national anthem, and then the national anthem of West Indies.

PITCH REPORT - Samuel Badree is pitchside and he says that there has been a bit of rain around here with the conditions looking overcast. Shakera Selman joins him and tells that there is a lot of moisture on the wicket and the seamers will get lateral movement. Adds that bowling first could be an advantage and we can expect a result on this pitch.

Rohit Sharma, the captain of India says that they have had good preparation for a while. Adds that they played a practice game in Barbados and have been in Dominica for the last 4 days but rain played a bit of spoilsport. Informs that they are prepared for the Test match. Mentions that the World Test Championship final is a couple of years from now and in the last two cycles they have played consistent cricket so they can take that forward. Feels that with a couple of new guys in the squad, they can take the perspective from before and look forward but it will be a new challenge for them. Informs that he wants the debutants to enjoy and have a memorable experience over the next five days of Test cricket. Ends by saying that they have loads of potential and he hopes to give them the comfort to make the most of this opportunity.

Kraigg Brathwaite, the skipper of West Indies says that they will bat first. Adds that it looks a bit dry, but there is also some moisture and the first hour will be crucial. Tells that they had a long camp in Antigua and Brian Lara helped the youngsters with his experience. Says that their pacers and spinners had a good run in the practice game. Mentions that in the last cycle, they got them into good positions and it is about putting both batting and bowling together. Informs Alick Athanaze is making his debut.

India (Playing XI) - Rohit Sharma (C), Yashasvi Jaiswal (on debut), Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Ajinkya Rahane, Ravindra Jadeja, Ishan Kishan (WK) (on Test debut), Ravichandran Ashwin, Shardul Thakur, Jaydev Unadkat, Mohammed Siraj.

West Indies (Playing XI) - Kraigg Brathwaite (C), Tagenarine Chanderpaul, Raymon Reifer, Jermaine Blackwood, Alick Athanaze (on Test debut), Joshua Da Silva (WK), Jason Holder, Kemar Roach, Alzarri Joseph, Rahkeem Cornwall, Jomel Warrican.

TOSS - The captains are out in the middle. The coin is flipped into the air and lands in favor of West Indies. They have elected to BAT first.

West Indies need a complete reboot as things seem to be going downhill for them pretty quickly. They have had a disastrous campaign in the ICC Cricket World Cup Qualifiers and will miss out on playing the ICC Cricket World Cup in India later this year. However, it also allows them to start from scratch and rework their entire plans with no better way to do it than in red-ball cricket. Very few players who were a part of the debacle will be involved in this Test Series with several youngsters given an opportunity to prove their mettle. Will they be able to start the tour with a crucial win against the World Test Championship finalist? Or will the visitors ascertain their dominance? We will find out soon. Stay tuned for the toss and team updates.

India enter this series as favorites but they will not want to take their opponents lightly as there is no shortage of talent or power in the Windies squad. The side led by Rohit Sharma will need to lift themselves, lick their wounds and start all over again after suffering a disappointing loss in the World Test Championship final against Australia. They have now made it to both the Test Championship finals and failed to get over the line on both occasions which should worry the India think tank slightly. They have kept the basic component of their batting department with Cheteshwar Pujara the lone casualty. The pace bowling department has a bunch of youngsters who will be eager to impress and this series should prove to be the perfect platform for India to look towards the future.

Hello, and a warm welcome, ladies and gentlemen to our coverage of the first Test between India and West Indies to commence what will be a long tour across which the ten international games will be played. We are currently at Windsor Park in Dominica which will be the venue for the first Test match and this series will be the first for the two teams in the new cycle of the World Test Championship. Both teams have faced recent disappointments and their fans will be hoping that this series will be a chance for redemption for the two sets of players. Buckle up your seat belts as we have an enticing encounter coming our way as both teams aim for a resurgence.
