WI vs Ind first Test | Kohli grinds his way to fifty, India extends lead to 250 runs

Yashasvi Jaiswal became only the third Indian to score 150 on debut while Virat Kohli had to toil for a half-century as the visitors reached 400 for four at lunch on day three of the first Test against the West Indies in Dominica on July 14.

Resuming the day at 312 for two, India managed 88 runs in 29 overs in the morning session for loss of Jaiswal (171) and Ajinkya Rahane (3). The away team, which is looking to bat West Indies out of the game, extended its first innings lead to 250 runs.

The Indian batters had to work for their runs on a slow pitch offering a lot of turn and a heavy outfield. Kohli (71 not out off 170) celebrating after hitting a rare boundary was proof of that.
