Welcome to the coverage of the second Test match between West Indies and India at Sabina Park, in Kingston, Jamaica, on Saturday.

The pitch is expected to be helpful for the fast bowlers but nothing would worry India, who had all their seamers -- Ishant Sharma, Umesh Yadav and Mohammad Shami -- performing well above expectations in the first match, which the visitors won by an innings and 92 runs within four days.

The Virat Kohli-led side would be looking to carry on the momentum they gained in the first match and continue their dominating performance in the second Test.

Captain Kohli has said that his batsmen will have to take more responsibility on a "result-oriented" green wicket laid out for the second Test against the West Indies in Kingston, Jamaica.

"We are happy the wicket is going to have some bounce and carry. There was decent enough bounce in Antigua for us to exploit whatever help was there. Jamaica is going to be even better. It's a result-oriented ground and we're quite excited about it. It's obviously going to take more application than we showed at Antigua. It's going to take more responsibility and more concentration by the batsmen to get the job done," Kohli said.

"We believe that our batsmen are good enough to tackle any pace and bounce that West Indies' bowlers have. The plan is to go out there and play with the determination and focus that we showed in the first game," the India captain added.
