Welcome to the coverage of Day 2 of the first Test between West Indies and India in Antigua, on Friday.

Ajinkya Rahane made 81 as India advanced to 203 for the loss of six wickets at stumps on a rain-affected opening day in North Sound.

Rishabh Pant (20) and Ravindra Jadeja (3) were the two unbeaten batsmen at close of play on the opening day. They will be hoping the two batsmen can stitch together a partnership and take India towards a sizeable first innings score.

On Day 1, Rahane, without a Test century in two years, fell short of the mark again when he was bowled by paceman Shannon Gabriel, via an inside edge.

His innings helped India steady the ship after they had been reduced to 25 for three on a day when West Indies won the toss and sent the visitors in to bat.

Captain Virat Kohli was among the India top order to fall cheaply. He made only nine before being caught in the gully, again off Gabriel, who finished the day with figures of 2-49.

Gabriel complemented fellow opening bowler Kemar Roach, who picked up 3-34, including two early breakthroughs when he had both Mayank Agarwal (five) and Cheteshwar Pujara (two) caught behind.

Only 68.5 overs were bowled due to intermittent rain.

The two-Test series is part of the inaugural World Test Championship.
