A few clouds still about but it's looking a touch brighter. Join Abhimanyu in about 20 minutes to see how the conditions hold up and WI's new-ball bowlers and India's openers go.

Harshvardhan: "Will India attract a penalty for their slow over rate? Almost 2 session gone and they could manage to bowl only half the overs of the day." Doesn't matter. Only innings of 80 overs or longer count for penalties.

Ajay: "India avoid a follow on" Great way to do it.

Kunal: "Kuldeep takes 2 wickets.... first one he took take lunch and second one to take tea .... 5 wickets fell in each session....just coincidence "

1: 55pm, Innings break and Tea, Day 1:: The break has been taken about 15 minutes early. Seven of the ten wickets falling to Bumrah and Siraj. Siraj did the bulk of the damage with the new ball. West Indies staged mini-recoveries after the first hour. Despite Chase, Hope and Greaves chipping in, there were no substantial scores. 32 was the highest. For India, Siraj exploited faults in technique regularly, Bumrah went into death-bowling mode against the tail. Kuldeep bowled a beauty to dismiss Hope. Just a 44-over innings, far from a heavy shift.

Kuldeep Yadav to Warrican, OUT, Innings done. Maybe not, Warrican reviews. India were confident but the review was quick too. Was a fullish length ball that landed just outside off and kept going away. Warrican went for the reverse sweep off the back of the bat. Sudeep says that's intentional. Unfortunately for him, it beat bat and lightly brushed the glove on its way to the keeper

Soumya: "Just curious. How often have Bumrah and Siraj got 3 wickets or more each in a test innings? Indian test fans will be delighted by this exotic sight and that too on Indian pitches." Sixth time today, three of those in the previous Australia tour

Bumrah to Warrican, no run, Bumper flies at pace this time. 134ks, looked quicker. Warrican got his head down but the bat kept up after shaping to fend. Ball flies over him

Manoj: "As a higher order batter, why would you take allow a single on the last ball or take a single on the first ball and expose a lower order batter? Why not farm strike and go for some lusty shots.. Warrican exposed Layne to Bumrah and he got out. Its like seeing the iceberg and heading straight for it. "
