Live Cricket Score, India vs West Indies, 2nd Test, Day 2 from Hyderabad: IND 80/1 vs WI (311)

​

* Prithvi Shaw is the man for the future for India. The young genes in him have made his team take the bull by the horns. On a pitch where Rahul was tentative, Pujara has not yet looked free-flowing, this lad is in his zone. Has an array of shots and is displaying those for everyone to see.

* What a session for India. Started by Umesh. Finished by Shaw. The Windies might have scored 311 but they look totally downcast at the moment.​

11.30 IST: India 80/1 at Lunch against West Indies (311) in Hyderabad. Shaw 52*, Holder 1/20. INDIA TRAIL BY 231 RUNS!

11.29 IST: FOUR! Shot! Well played by Pujara. Superb from Pujara. Great timing. Fractionally short outside off, the right-hander goes back and punches it between cover and point. Devendra Bishoo gives it a good chase from cover but comes second best. IND 80/1 in 15.3 overs

11.28 IST: On a length outside off, cuts back in, Pujara looks to defend but is taken aback by the movement. Looks to fend it away but gets an inside edge which drops down to the leg side.

11.23 IST:  FIFTY! Prithvi Shaw hits his maiden half-century. And this has been another innings of dominance. Full on middle, pushed down to long on for a single. The dressing room is applauding with plenty of smiles. It has been that sort of a knock. India 74/1 in 13.2 overs

11.20 IST: Full and outside off, Shaw drives it wide of mid off. Shannon Gabriel puts in a tired effort to his left with a tumble but manages to stop the ball. A single taken.

11.16 IST: FOUR! Good use of the feet from Cheteshwar Pujara. Good shot. Dances down to get close to the pitch and drives it past mid on to send it across the boundary line.

11.13 IST: Dropped! Could have been a game changer!! Difficult chance as it comes quite fast at him but in such games you've got to be taking those. Spinning away, short in length, Shaw backs away to cut but the ball bounces a bit more and takes the outside edge. Hope at first slip moves to his left, gets his fingertips to it but can't hold on. A brace results.

* Cheteshwar Pujara walks in at No.3.

11.03 IST: OUT! Rahul's troubles finally come to an end. He wasn't looking as assured as his partner, pays the price for it. Short of a length just outside off, Rahul is in two minds about what to do. He initially wants to play but then decides to leave it late. The ball takes the inside edge and disturbs the bails. First wicket down for India, against the run of play.

11.00 IST: FOUR! Make that number 3. Though, this is a result of some poor fielding from the Windies skipper. Shaw drives it to the left of mid off. Holder moves quickly but can't get low to stop the ball. Lets it through to the fence behind.

10.57 IST: FOUR! Back-to-back boundaries! Goes the other side this time. Shaw opens his body up to this flighted delivery and drives it through the covers for another boundary.

10.56 IST: FOUR! The slog-sweep shot by Shaw is just amazing to watch. Takes the aerial route and gets the desired result. Tossed up delivery on off, Shaw decides to take this on. Gets low and slog sweeps it over mid-wicket for a one-bounce boundary. IND 53/0 in 7.2 overs

10.53 IST: No ball! Seems Gabriel's bad habit is catching on to his skipper. Good length ball shaping away around off, Rahul defends it on the off side. Jason overstepped, so no ball signalled.

10.51 IST: FOUR! What a flick! Oozes class all the way and Shaw knows what to do. Brilliant stuff from this youngster. Too full, too straight. Shaw moves inside the line and flicks it ever so well through the gap in the mid-wicket area. Beautifully played, no stopping that. IND 47/0 in 6.4 overs

10.46 IST: FOUR! Inconsistent with the line again and he's paid the price. On the pads, Shaw comfortably flicks it away through backward square leg, beating fine leg who tries to cut it off.

10.41 IST: FOUR BYES! Unlucky. Hamilton tried his best. More extras. All most of the runs going to come via extra today? Seems like it from the looks of things. Gabriel angles it too far down leg and the keeper has no chance to reach it this time. Across the fine leg fence and that's a boundary. IND 38/0 in 4.3 overs

10.37 IST: Good effort from Devendra Bishoo. Another good shot from Shaw. He leans ahead and drives the full ball through mid off. Bishoo chases it down well from mid on and pulls it back inside the rope. The batsmen only take two.

10.35 IST: FOUR! Well played by Shaw. As good as they come. Full and swinging away from around off, Shaw opens his body up a bit, along with the bat face, and drives it neatly through cover-point to fine the fence. IND 28/0 in 3.1 overs

 * Dowrich is receiving some medical attention after copping a blow on the previous delivery. Slight halt in play as a result. Bad news for the touring side - their keeper is being taken off the field. Jason Holder and his men will want him to come back soon. Meanwhile, Jahmar Hamilton will take the gloves.

10.28 IST: FOUR BYES! That did not rise at all. And it must have stung Shane Dowrich as well. Yikes! Gabriel serves it on a back of a length outside off, Rahul lets it be and the ball keeps really low. Dowrich behind the stumps tries to stop it with his legs but gets struck on the left knee. The ball deflects towards the third man fence for a boundary, but the Windies keeper is down the ground.

10.25 IST: Heavy movement for Gabriel. Comes wide of the crease and angles it in from outside off. Rahul leaves but he doesn't expect so much movement. Luckily for the batsman, still well wide of the off stick.

10.20 IST: No ball and FOUR! Full and swinging away from outside off, Shaw reaches out to it and plays it off the outer half between the slip cordon and gully. Away to the fence she goes. No ball also signalled as Holder overstepped on that occasion.  IND 20/0 in 1.3 overs

10.16 IST: NO BALL, SIX! Extra effort from Gabriel and he oversteps. Then bowls a long hop, wide outside off. Shaw latches onto it and flays hard. IND 14/0 in 0.4 overs

10.14 IST: FOUR! Excellent shot to get off the mark! On a length outside off, Shaw leaps with the bounce and guides it behind gully to third man!

10.11 IST: Off the mark straightaway! Full and outside off, Rahul drives it through the covers. It is in the gap and Kieran Powell gets to it from mid off. Just about stops it near the ropes. Three runs taken. The deficit is now 308.

10.10 IST: And we're back with India's innings. Prithvi Shaw and KL Rahul are out to bat and Shannon Gabriel is given the new ball. Let's gets started. 

* Around 81 overs left in the day. How much can India score? How many wickets can the Windies take? Will it be another run fest for the hosts? The questions will be answered in a short while. Stay tuned...

* India will not be perturbed with the score but they will be slightly disappointed with their bowling. Ravichandran Ashwin was the only bowler who was consistently nagging while Kuldeep and Jadeja were way off the mark. The former did get 3 wickets but that was because of some silly shot-making. Coming to Umesh Yadav, he was much better this morning but only good in parts yesterday. The nice thing for India was that those 'good in parts' bit resulted in wickets.

10.05 IST:

*  Just 40 balls needed for India then, to wrap the Windies' innings up on Day 2. One might argue that they 'allowed' Chase to get to his century, not putting enough pressure on him but considering that they conceded just 16 runs this morning, it can be excused.

10.00 IST: OUT! Caught behind and Umesh now has his best Test figures. A 6-fer. Bizarre dismissal though.  Full and wide outside off, Gabriel initially thinks about letting it go. But then as an afterthought, he feels to have a poke at it. Gets a thick outside edge straight to Rishabh Pant. WINDIES BOWLED OUT FOR 311!

09.57 IST: OUT! Umesh removes Chase for 106. Right through the gate! UMESH HAS HIS SECOND TEST 5-FER. First at home. Beautiful bowling to get that wicket. Umesh lands this on a good length outside off and gets conventional swing with appreciable movement. Chase is a tad lazy in trying to defend and the ball goes right through bat and pad. Timber. Well played, Mr. Chase. You have given your team something to bowl at. West Indies 311/9 in 101.3 overs

09.49 IST: Easy single. Poor effort from the substitute Mohammed Siraj. Full and outside off, Warrican pushes it straight to Siraj at mid off but he does not attack the ball at all. Good game awareness from the Windies batsman as he calls Chase for the quick single, catching MS on his heels.

09.45 IST: BOTTOM EDGE, FOUR! Another sign of the ball staying low. A touch short, outside off, Chase throws his bat at it but gets beaten by the lack of bounce. The ball takes the bottom edge and goes onto the ground behind. Rishabh Pant dives to his right, but the ball just brushes his outstretched glove and races to the third man fence. The stand is now worth 11 from 9 balls.

09.42 IST: SIX! THUNDEROUS! Just one block and the next one is whacked. These men from the Caribbean... Tossed up outside off, the googly, Warrican gets down and slogs it over long on!

09.37 IST: TEST CENTURY NUMBER 4 FOR CHASE! He has richly deserved this. Battled hard as usual, with his team in strife in 9 out of 10 occasions. Gets to the landmark with a tuck to mid-wicket for an easy single. Pretty surprised that he has been allowed to get to the landmark without much effort. Normally, when a batsman is in the 90s, you tend to see opposition captains keep the field tight for him. However, not today. Chase will take it though. Well played, sir.

09.35 IST: OUT! Umesh removes Bishoo for 2. West Indies 296/8 in 96 overs

09.34 IST: LEADING EDGE, SAFE! Chase is smiling but boy, his heart would have been in his mouth for a moment. Perhaps an aggressive field would have got India a wicket on the very first ball. On a length, around off, coming in, Roston looks to work it to the leg side but is a tad early into the shot. The ball takes the leading edge and goes to where point would have been but... the human being is stationed in the deep. An easy single and RC moves to 99...

09.29 IST: The Indians walk out and get into a huddle. Now, the overnight batsmen stride out - Roston Chase and Devendra Bishoo. The man who is on 98, will be on strike.

* Umesh Yadav is caught on the sidelines before the start of play for a little chat. He says he knew the track was flat so was focusing more on the line. Adds he bowled a couple of full balls which were going slow, so he tried back of a length which worked for him. States he didn't mind bowling the extra overs since he's quite fit but feels sorry for Shardul Thakur as it's his Test debut. Ends by saying that he wants to start the day full of energy and make an impact.

PITCH REPORT - Ian Bishop is doing the pitch report. He has a look at the track and reckons that it still looks very, very good. Sunil Gavaskar now joins him. Both see a couple of cracks on the surface but the master reckons that those are near the short of good length area. They are opening up, he agrees and opines that those will open up even more on Days 3 and 4. For today, even he feels that it is a good pitch to bat on. Does not feel too positive about any ball spinning much today but could see more as Sunday approaches.

WEATHER REPORT - The conditions look perfect for playing cricket and even more so, for batting. The hosts will be looking to dismantle the final three wickets and then put their feet up, with their batsmen aiming to score once and score big, again.

09.15 IST: It was a rare occurrence on Friday. An opposition team fighting hard against India in India. That too, Windies. Yes, the return of Jason Holder certainly spurred the visitors as they managed to play out an entire day's play after winning the toss.

* They just have 3 wickets left though and the first thing on their minds will be Roston Chase's century. How long can they keep India on the field? Hello and a warm welcome to the second day's play of the second Test between India and Windies in Hyderabad.

08.50 IST: The 4th ODI between India and West Indies has been shifted. 

Hello and welcome to our live coverage of today's match as India play West Indies on Day 2 of the 2nd Test live from Hyderabad. Play will resume at 9.30 AM IST. 

Brief Preview: Indian spinners went off the boil in the final session as all-rounder Roston Chase hit a gutsy unbeaten 98 to take the West Indies to a respectable 295 for seven on the opening day of the second Test on Friday. Chase, who scored 137 to deny India a victory in a Test match in Jamaica back in 2016, showed the much-needed application with requisite technique as Indian bowlers struggled after polishing off the top half for only 113 runs. Chase, along with skipper Jason Holder (52), did enough to ensure that the West Indies will have a good first innings total to fight against a heavyweight Indian batting line-up.
