Shaw rallies India after early wicket

India 1st inns: 24-1 (5 ovs) vs WI | Scorecard

Pacer Keemo Paul from the other end. He starts with a bouncer as Shaw is happy to see it through and he offers no shot to the next ball as well.

The next couple of balls are blocked before Shaw hammers a short wide delivery through the covers for a four, his first in Test cricket.

Gabriel produces another beauty to cut new batsman Cheteshwar Pujara in half with the ball again nipping in sharply.

The local boy gets off the mark with a single to fine leg off the third ball.

Gabriel then oversteps to give away a no-ball before Shaw turns the next ball on the leg side for three runs.

Paul errs with his line, bowling on the pads as Shaw flicks it through square leg for a four.

Two balls later, another poor delivery on the pads, is glanced fine by Shaw for his third four.

Shaw is known for his attacking batting. He looks in the mood already as he flashes hard at a wide delivery, getting a thick edge over the slips for the third boundary of the over, as the debutant races to 22 from 16 balls.
