West Indies show some fight before Virat Kohli puts India ahead in second Test

Port of Spain, July 21(Pres Ki Taquat)

Virat Kohli looked set to end his red-ball century drought overseas in his landmark 500th international game after the West Indies put up a gritty late show to limit India to 288 for four at stumps on day one of the second Test.

Openers Rohit Sharma (80 off 143) and Yashasvi Jaiswal (57 off 74) shared a brisk 139-run stand to provide another perfect launch pad before the West Indies struck four times in the afternoon session to put brakes on India’s scoring rate on Thursday.
