LUNCH - DAY 1

WI 88-4 (26 ovs) vs India | Scorecard

Samuels also opens up his shoulder as he smashes a short wide ball from Yadav over point and it carries all the way for a six.

In the next over, Blackwood continues his attacking approach as he goes after Mishra, hitting him back over his head for a six even though he looked to have mishit it. He is beaten off the last ball as Mishra gets one to turn right past the defensive prod of the right-hander. Mishra is unhappy that the appeal has been turned down.

Both Ashwin and Mishra getting a lot of turn from the day one pitch and this is just the first session of the match. Wonder if it is due to dampness on the track?

Ashwin finally makes the breakthrough with the key wicket of Blackwood, who is trapped leg before wicket after a quickfire innings of 62 from as many balls.

The right-hander, who hit seven fours and four sixes in his counter-attacking knock, comes half forward to defend but is struck on the pads right in line.

Infact, Viv Richards on commentary is unhappy with the decision saying the ball turned a lot and Blackwood was unhappy to be ruled out.

A wicket just at the right time for the Indians in the final over of the session as West Indies go into the lunch break at 88 for four in 26 overs.

Samuels, who survived a nervy start, is unbeaten on 14 from 71 balls, while Roston Chase sees off the last three balls of the over.

A good performance from the Indian bowlers, especially the seamers who made most of the early help from the conditions. Ishant claimed two for 24 in a fiery first spell, while Shami bagged one wicket and Ashwin struck in the last over of the session.
