Kohli's Half-Century Keeps India Going

Mayank steadies the innings initially with a fifty, after the fall of Rahul and Pujara

India recovered to reach 157 for three at tea on the opening day under testing conditions in the second World Test Championship match against the West Indies here on Saturday.

Skipper Virat Kohli stood firm with an unbeaten 52 with deputy Ajinkya Rahane giving him company on 20. Mayank Agarwal came good for the first time in the series with a timely half-century, before being dismissed in the second session.

Earlier the visitors laboured their way to 72 for two after opener K.L. Rahul and No. 3 Cheteshwar Pujara were dismissed cheaply in the first session. Rahul and Pujara were out for 13 and 6 respectively.
