Rahane and Pant hit unbeaten half-centuries to lead India's strong reply with the bat on Day 2 of the second Test.

Rahane made a solid 75, while Pant stroked 85 as they steered India to 308 for four in 81 overs. They trail West Indies by three runs, after the visitors were bowled out for 311 earlier in the day.

Pant entertained as he slammed 10 fours and two sixes in his 120-ball knock, while Rahane was cautious as he hit just six fours in his 174-ball knock, as the duo put on an unbroken stand of 146 runs for the fifth wicket.

India were in a spot of bother at one stage in the post-lunch session as they were reduced to 162 for four following the dismissal of Virat Kohli, who was trapped leg before wicket by his opposite number Jason Holder for 45.

Prithvi Shaw had given India a flying start with a quickfire 70 from 53 balls, to rally the hosts after the early dismissal of Rahul.

Shaw was caught in the covers off Jomel Warrican and in the very next over, Pujara was caught behind off Shannon Gabriel for 10.

Earlier, Umesh Yadav ran through the lower order as India bowled out West Indies for 311 in their first innings.

Umesh picked up all three wickets to fall on the second day to finish with career-best figures of six for 88, his second five-wicket haul in Tests.

West Indies lasted just 29 minutes in the morning session on Day 2, adding 16 runs in 6.4 overs, while losing their remaining three wickets.

The only bright spot for West Indies was Roston Chase's century as the right-hander hit a brilliant 106 from 189 balls before he was dismissed by Umesh.
