India, asked to take first strike by the Windies, reached 72 for 2 at Lunch on day one of the second Test match at Sabina Park this morning.

The Windies handed debuts to wicket-keeper Jahmar Hamilton, who replaced Shai Hope, who has an injured right hand, while off-spinner Rahkeem Cornwall comes into the side for Miguel Cummins.

It was captain Jason Holder who got the first breakthrough for the home side as he had KL Rahul caught by Cornwall at slip for 13 with the score on 32.

Cornwall would then pick up his first Test wicket when he removed Cheteshwar Pujara, caught at point by Shamarh Brooks for six at 46 for two.

Mayanka Agarwal, 41, and Virat Kohli, five, then saw the Indians to lunch without further loss.
