STUMPS - DAY 1
India 157-2 (34 overs) vs WI 182
Tendulkar walks back unbeaten on a good innings of 38 from 73 balls, having hit six fours. His footwork has been very confident and positive during this innings, which has been amiss for the last few years.
Pujara also looked solid during his knock of 34 from 49 balls, but went unnoticed as the day was only about one man.
The duo put on an unbroken stand of 80 runs in 122 balls to help India consolidate their dominant position in the match.
Except for the two wickets in an over by Shillingford, it was a poor performance by West Indies, who crashed out for a lowly 182.
In reply, India reached 157 for two in 34 overs scoring at 4.61 runs per over, and now trail the visitors by only 25 runs with four more days to go.
Pragyan Ojha was the star performer for India on Day 1 as he registered excellent figures of five for 40.
All eyes will be on Tendulkar tomorrow as the fans will be expecting him to finish his career on a high with a century.

WI 14-0 (4 overs) vs India
Gayle survives a very confident appeal for LBW against Shami. The left-hander played back and tried to defend but missed and was stuck in line and was perhaps saved by the height or maybe the inside edge.
Two balls later he crashes a full delivery past mid-off for his first boundary and then turns the fifth ball on the leg side for one.
The pitch is not doing much and West Indies will be delighted to bat first if they can play out the pacers without much damage.
Still trying to figure out why Dhoni elected to bowl first?
