India 68-3 (24 ovs) vs WI | Scorecard

Holder continues to probe just outside the off-stump as Rahane keeps defending. However, he edges one trying to poke at a wide one but he has played with soft hands which means the edge stays low and goes past the slips for a four.

Cummins is taken off as he Gabriel comes for another spell, with another 10 minutes to go for lunch.

Rahane continues to defend as he is content to just bat for time at the moment. Gabriel tries the short ball but Rahane is quick to latch on to it, pulling it behind square for a four as the fielder at fine leg runs across to his left but makes a poor effort.

Double change for Windies as Roach comes back from the other end. The first ball is too straight as Rahul clips it square for a couple and then takes a quick single off the fifth ball.

Rahul plays a nice cover drive off Gabriel but can't find the gap before he pushes the third ball in the gap for a couple. The pacer tries the bouncer and Rahul is happy to duck under it.

That's end the of the first session, as India reach 68 for three in 24 overs at the lunch break on Day 1.

West Indies elected to bowl after the start was delayed by 15 minutes because of rain.

The West Indies over rate is a disappointing 11.3 in the first session with the pacers bowling all the overs.
