2nd Test, Day 2: India reach 308 at Stumps in reply to West Indies' 311
Rishabh Pant's audacious stroke-play complemented Ajinkya Rahane's patient approach as India reached 308 for four against the West Indies on the second day of the second cricket Test on Saturday.
West Indies added only 16 runs to their overnight total but Roston Chase (106, 189 balls) however deservedly completed his fourth Test hundred before the innings wrapped up.
