IND 1st Innings
All
134.2
W
Roston Chase to Dhruv Jurel, out Bowled!! 89.6kph, flat and quick attacking the stumps, Jurel clears his front leg to heave it across the line. Misses it altogether to hear the death rattle. Jurel misses his fifty by 6 runs in an attempt to go for the big shot. Dhruv Jurel b Roston Chase 44(79) [4s-5]
133.4
Jayden Seales to Gill, 2 runs, ample width, quick hands from Gill to cut it through backward point. Anderson makes a good diving stop to his left in the deep to save a couple of runs. Hundred partnership
132.1
Roston Chase to Dhruv Jurel, 2 runs, on a length and down leg, Jurel gets an inside edge on his tickle. Tevin Imlach moves to his left and can only get a glove on it. Tough chance and it goes down
131.5
4
Khary Pierre to Gill, FOUR, third boundary of the over. Poor delivery from Pierre. Short, wide, asking to be punished and Gill obliges. The right-hander has ample time on the back foot to slap the cut through point. Warrican runs across and dives to his left in the deep but to no avail
131.3
4
Khary Pierre to Gill, FOUR, 85.4kph, streaky boundary! Gill gets down to sweep hard, gets a fat top-edge and the ball flies over the slip fielder. 500 up for India with that boundary
131.1
4
Khary Pierre to Gill, FOUR, 87kph, shortish ball with width on offer, Gill waits on the back foot to cut it expertly to the right of backward point. No chance for the man in the deep to even get close to the ball
130.5
6
Roston Chase to Gill, SIX, 91.6kph, Gill comes down the track, gets close to the pitch of the ball and hits with the spin. Big swing of the willow to club it over deep midwicket. Are India going to up the ante as they are nearing 500?
129.5
H
Khary Pierre to Gill, 3 runs, 10th Test hundred for Shubman Gill, 5th as Indian captain! It's been an almost flawless knock from the stylish right-handed batsman. While he was subdued in his approach last evening, he's played his natural game today. 86.1kph, Pierre bowls it on the shorter side and that'sd been cut away to the left of cover. The fielder dives and half-stops it. Gill removes his cap and raises his bat to acknowledge the applause from the Delhi crowd, gets a hug from Dhruv Jurel as well
126.1
4
Roston Chase to Gill, FOUR, Gill greets his counterpart with a boundary. Poor delivery. A proper loosener from the WI captain. Flat, quick and down leg, Gill helps it on its way to fine leg to get into the 90s. The boundary also brings up the fifty partnership
125.3
4
Khary Pierre to Dhruv Jurel, FOUR, uppish and well wide of the fielder. Fraction short from Pierre and Jurel goes back quickly to pull it to the right of midwicket. Justin Greaves dives to his right but it's out of his reach
124.3
4
Warrican to Dhruv Jurel, FOUR, good use of the crease! Not a half-tracker, Jurel goes deep in his crease to pull this short of length ball through midwicket. Hits hard and in the gap
123.3
4
Khary Pierre to Dhruv Jurel, FOUR, back-to-back boundaries for Dhruv Jurel! Pierre overpitches, Jurel clears his front leg and thumps it over the non-striker. Gill ducks under it and the ball reaches the fence in a hurry
123.2
4
Khary Pierre to Dhruv Jurel, FOUR, too wide and Jurel latches onto it. Quicker one at 91.4kph, Jurel is quick to trek back and cut it wide of the backward point fielder
117.1
4
Khary Pierre to Gill, FOUR, wrong line and punished. Full and down leg, Gill bends his back leg to sweep it fine. No one at fine leg to stop that
111.5
4
Justin Greaves to Dhruv Jurel, FOUR, short and angled down, Jurel swivels and pulls it behind square, he generated good amount of power to beat Phillip getting across from fine leg. You'd argue Phillip could have done better but he's had a shocker in the field today
108.3
W
Warrican to Nitish Reddy, out Caught by Jayden Seales!! Warrican has his man! Nitish puts his head down as soon as he played that shot. He has missed out on a very good opportunity. Promoted to number 5, dropped on 20 and he throws it away 7 runs short of his fifty. He had struck a couple of sixes off Warrican over long-on but this time the length is not there to play the shot, it is held back and Nitish gets a big top-edge, the ball skies towards long-on and Seales takes a simple catch. He did crouch low to play the shot but still could not get under the ball. Nitish Reddy c Jayden Seales b Warrican 43(54) [4s-4 6s-2]
107.5
4
Justin Greaves to Gill, FOUR, smashed! The field remained the same for Gill. So he decides to give the charge, gets the width outside off and dismisses the drive in front of square. Tagenarine does not bother to chase this time
105.3
4
Justin Greaves to Gill, FOUR, shot! Boundaries coming at a rapid pace.. Full pitcher outside off, Gill does not try to overhit the drive, just leans into the shot and caresses it wide of mid-off. The timing takes care of the rest
104.4
Warrican to Nitish Reddy, 1 run, tosses it up outside off, Nitish reaches and drills the drive wide of long-off
104.2
6
Warrican to Nitish Reddy, SIX, this is how he will play. Warrican overcooks the flighted delivery and this is in the slot, ample room for Nitish to free his hands and he smashes it flat over long-on
102.5
4
Warrican to Nitish Reddy, FOUR, Phillip having a tough time in the field. Floated up outside off, Nitish drills the drive to deepish mid-off and Phillip makes a mess, he moves to his left and allows the ball to go through his legs
102.4
6
Warrican to Nitish Reddy, SIX, Nitish was itching to have a go at Warrican. He got a reprieve in the previous over, found the fielders a couple of times with his drive but this time the ball sails over. He crouches low, gets under the flighted delivery and launches it over long-on
101.3
6
Justin Greaves to Gill, SIX, wow! Gill gives the charge to the bowler by stepping out of the crease. Shimmies down, moves across in the process to access the leg-side. It's the slower ball as well from Greaves. Gill gets into a big position and brings his bottom hand into play to wallop it over deep midwicket. Right off the meat of the bat
100.2
Warrican to Nitish Reddy, no run, dropped! Floated up and full in length, Nitish Reddy goes hard on the drive and hits it aerially. Straight to mid-off and Anderson Phillip puts down a dolly as he gets down on his knees
99.4
F
Jayden Seales to Gill, FOUR, back-to-back fifties for captain Gill! Touch too full from Seales and Gill clips it away beautifully through midwicket. Superb timing and the ball reaches the fence in a jiffy. Gill raises his bat as there's a loud cheer from the Delhi crowd. After being defensive last evening, the Indian skipper has hit a flurry of boundaries this morning
99.1
4
Jayden Seales to Nitish Reddy, FOUR, 137.3kph, nicely played. Width on offer, Nitish Reddy leans forward and opens the bat-face to steer it between backward point and gully. Uses the bowler's width and pace to his advantage does Nitish
96.1
4
Anderson Phillip to Gill, FOUR, the line is too straight and it's easy pickings for the batter. Length ball angling in towards leg and Gill clips it beautifully between mid-on and midwicket
95
4
Anderson Phillip to Gill, FOUR, nicely timed! Gill walks forward and across, closes his bat-face and beats the diving midwicket fielder to his left. It's just a nudge from the Indian captain and the ball has the legs to reach the fence. Fourth boundary of the day for Gill
93.5
4
Jayden Seales to Nitish Reddy, FOUR, edge, wide of 2nd slip and four! 136.2kph, pitched up delivery, Nitish Reddy goes hard on the drive and gets an outside edge that eludes the diving second slip to his right. Falls short and beats him to his right before running away to the fence
93
4
Anderson Phillip to Gill, FOUR, 129.6kph, second boundary of the over. Too much width and Gill takes a small step forward to flay it through the covers

91.2
W
Jayden Seales to Jaiswal, out Jaiswal Run Out!! Jaiswal gets sent back and he's run-out! An unhappy Jaiswal says it's his call before walking back. He's in disbelief and so is Gill. India have gifted West Indies a wicket early in the day. Full ball, driven firmly to mid-off and Jaiswal immediately sets off. Gill turns around and isn't interested. Jaiswal spots that too late. He turns around to try and make his ground but is way short. The throw comes to the keeper's end and Tevin Imlach runs in to collect the ball before breaking the stumps. No double-ton for the Indian opener. Jaiswal run out (Chanderpaul/Tevin Imlach) 175(258) [4s-22]
91

4

87.2
Jayden Seales to Jaiswal, no run, 132.4kph, half an appeal for lbw as Jaiswal offers no shot. Brushes the pad before going into the keeper's mitts. The West Indies players have a chat and Chase has reviewed it. No stroke offered, hit the flap of the back pad. Ball-tracking shows it to be missing off as it kept going away with the angle. West Indies lose a review
86.3
4
Anderson Phillip to Jaiswal, FOUR, smashed! 129.6kph, full and outside off which allows the batter to free his arms. Jaiswal throws his bat at it to batter it uppishly to the right of extra cover. Bullets away to the fence
86.2
4
Anderson Phillip to Jaiswal, FOUR, he loves playing that shot does Jaiswal. 133kph, ample width outside off and the left-hander waits on the back foot to back-cut it superbly. Plays late and gets the placement spot-on. Warrican dives to his right in the deep but fails to stop the boundary
85.5
4
Jayden Seales to Gill, FOUR, 136.1kph, low full toss and put away. Little outswing, Gill doesn't move his feet but middles the push-drive wide of mid-off

77.5
4

71.4
4
Khary Pierre to Jaiswal, FOUR, cracking shot, too full and toom wide from Pierre, he was looking to lure Jaiswal into the drive, but gets the length wrong and it's crashed past cover for a boundary
69.5
4
Khary Pierre to Gill, FOUR, clubbed, tad too full and Gill is off in some style - bends down low, picks the length early and then swipes it over mid-wicket, one bounce and over the ropes
68.3
W
Warrican to Sai Sudharsan, out Lbw!! Sai Sudharsan has been caught in the crease and he's given OUT LBW, he has a chat with his partner and opts to review - spun back in sharply from off and beat the left-hander on the inside edge - he's stuck in the crease and it's hit his back leg which was bent, on the flap of the pad, but don't think it's bouncing over. No bat and we're onto ball-tracking: It's crashing into leg-stump, three reds and Sai Sudharsan is OUT. No hundred for the elegant left-hander, falls 13 short of what would've been a maiden Test century - was surprised by the amount of turn as he went back and missed the line completely, struck in front of middle and umpire Richard Illingworth had no hesitation in lifting the dreaded finger. Sai Sudharsan lbw b Warrican 87(165) [4s-12]

Justin Greaves to Sai Sudharsan, no run, dropped at short mid-wicket! Sai Sudharsan looks to nudge this short ball away, gets a leading edge towards short mid-wicket. Warrican moves across to his right, puts in a dive and gets his hands to it. But fails to latch on to the catch. The bowler looks disappointed as he tried his best to create a chance, but the fielder has let him down
50.1
H
Khary Pierre to Jaiswal, 2 runs, that’s century number seven for Yashasvi Jaiswal in Test cricket! What a player he’s turning out to be in this format. An overall average close to 50, close to 65 at home, and an average of almost 100 against the West Indies - those are elite numbers by any standard. He took his time early on, respected the conditions, and once he got his eye in, it has been another masterclass. Has found gaps with precision, has used his feet beautifully, and made sure to cash in on every loose delivery. One of Jaiswal’s standout traits - once he’s in, he rarely lets the bowlers off the hook. Brings up the milestone with a gentle flick through backward square leg and with this hundred, he’s not just set the tone for India but also laid the foundation for a massive first-innings total. Takes off his helmet, raises his bat and blows a few kisses to the Delhi crowd

10.3
Anderson Phillip to Rahul, no run, a loud shout for LBW, but KL was a long way across and the impact might've been outside the line of off-stump - West Indies have reviewed though - was the nip-backer and KL played down the wrong line as he pushed forward, struck flush on the knee-roll, no bat and ball-tracking returns umpire's call on both impact and hitting - West Indies don't lose a review, but they don't get KL either
9.1
