It is tea on Day 2 and India are 245 for the loss of two wickets. It was the Jaiswal and Rohit show all the way before the hosts fought back and took two wickets. Disappointing outing for Shubman Gill who lost his wicket for just 6. Will India post a huge total from here? Only time will tell.

IND vs WI Live: Plan B needed for West Indies

Cornwall and Warrican has both enjoyed a fair bit of turn on the Dominica pitch and that seems to be the key for West Indies. The pacers did not bother the India batters at all and if a wicket is to come, it feels like it will one of the spinners who will have to produce something great.

India 92 for no loss.
