Day 1 report: India will look to consolidate their position in the first Test against West Indies in Dominica, when they take field on Thursday for Day 2. The visitors were clinical in their approach on Wednesday after being asked to field first, with Ravichandran Ashwin, returning to the side, finishing with figures of 5/60 to see Windies off for 150. He was well-supported by fellow spin-bowling all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja, who collected three wickets for 26 runs. This was Ashwin’s 33rd five-fer in Test cricket, as well as his fifth against Windies since he made his Test debut against this very side in 2011. Barring debutant Alick Athanaze (47), none of the West Indian batters were able to convert starts into big knocks. Local boy Athanaze narrowly missed out on a half-century on Test debut, getting dismissed by Ashwin shortly before tea on the opening day. And in their first innings reply, India were 80/0 after 23 overs at stumps, with debutant Yashasvi Jaiswal (40*) and his skipper Rohit Sharma (30*) at the other end.

Yashasvi Jaiswal, who remained unbeaten on 143 at the close of play, speaks to Samuel Badree after stumps:
“I think this knock was one of the emotional knock for me. I would like to thank each and everyone, especially selectors and Rohit bhai for giving me the chance to go and express myself. Wicket was difficult to bat on. I was taking to Rohit bhai and Virat bhaiya about scoring on this surface. It’s been pretty hot, and I have to keep thinking that I have to do it for the country. I was just enjoying my cricket. I love Test cricket because it is always going to test you and I love that challenge. I had prepared for it. We really worked hard on each and every part. (On the century celebration) It was really emotional, and I am proud of myself. This is just the start."

STUMPS ON DAY 2: Yashasvi Jaiswal remains unbeaten on 143 in 350 deliveries, stitching a patient third-wicket partnership with Virat Kohli worth 72 as India end the day 162 runs ahead of the West Indies with eight wickets in hand!
Barring a couple of hiccups shortly before the tea interval in which Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill fell to spin in quick succession, the day well and truly belonged to the Indians, who did not lose a single wicket in two out of three seasons and are well placed to stretch their lead beyond the Windies’ reach on the third day and go 1-0 up in the two-match series. Jaiswal, meanwhile, will be heading back to the team hotel dreaming about the possibility of becoming the first Indian batter to score a double-hundred on Test debut.

Jaiswal, meanwhile, adds another feather to his cap, going past Mohammad Azharuddin’s record for most deliveries faced by an Indian on Test debut. Azharuddin had faced 322 deliveries on debut against England at Kolkata’s Eden Gardens in 1984.

Jaiswal narrowly escapes a run out scare in the following over after responding to Kohli’s call for a quick single.
