Rampaul strikes early.... India 7/1
1.3 Rampaul to Mukund, OUT, the bounce has struck, and Rampaul is delighted, Mukund has no clue what to do with one that kicks at him from around short of a length, holds the bat out, is hit high on it and the ball lobs up for the simplest of takes to gully

A Mukund c Samuels b Rampaul 1 (9b 0x4 0x6) SR: 11.11

big wicket by Sammy... India 13/2
10.1 Sammy to Dravid, OUT, huge wicket, Sammy has taken out Dravid, superb delivery to get the great man, back of a length and straightening awkwardly around off, Dravid had no choice but to play at it, was opened up and only got an edge through to Baugh who took it in front of first slip

R Dravid c †Baugh b Sammy 5 (21b 0x4 0x6) SR: 23.80

Two quick wickets by Rampaul... India is a spot of bother.. 44/4
25.3 Rampaul to Kohli, OUT, Rampaul has taken off, his team-mates rush after him, Virat has been been bounced out, nothing shot, nothing at all actually, just caught on the crease shuffling across, Rampaul gets it to shoot off from back of a length and straighten as well, and before Virat could do anything, the ball had taken the glove and lobbed high to second slip

V Kohli c Sammy b Rampaul 0 (2b 0x4 0x6) SR: 0.00


25.2 Rampaul to Kohli, no run, gives him a back of a length ball and he goes back to defend it carefully

Virat Kohli comes in, this will be a test, a big one

25.1 Rampaul to Vijay, OUT, that is the end of Vijay''s long vigil, soft dismissal, strangled down the leg side and Rampaul has struck right away with some extra bounce, Vijay is disappointed, he tried to grind it out and looked to be in control mostly

M Vijay c †Baugh b Rampaul 11 (75b 0x4 0x6) SR: 14.66

A great session for the Windies....
8-)
However, the question remains: can we do better when we bat?

Well questioned mikesiva. Also seems like the Indian batsmen are going to take the fight to the WI after lunch.

The continued inability of WI to put together consecutive sessions of high class cricket continues to be a worry. Again we see the trend: a strong morning session, followed by an extremely lacklustre post lunch session, followed by a strong session post tea to close out the India innings for 201.

Now they must bat for the 22 overs minimum remaining in the day. Let's see if if the trend will coninue. Game on.
