Match State: Day 1 start scheduled to start at 09:30 IST (04:00 GMT) Good morning all, and welcome to a bright and sunny morning for the second Test of this three-match India-West Indies series at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. The first Test won comprehensively by India, who notched up their first-ever innings win over the West Indies, the tourists are now under pressure to bounce back in this match. Captain Carl Hooper cites recent history - the West Indies came back from one-down to win a series in the Caribbean earlier this year - to bolster team morale, but he will find it tough to repeat that feat here. Like the Wankhede Stadium, Chepauk has a relaid track, and just like Mumbai's pitch, this too does not look to be vastly different from its predecessor. Both captains opined that the track would take turn from day one, and then proceed to turn square later in the match. That will bring back memories of Narendra Hirwani's 16-136 when these teams last met here in 1988. The first rains of this monsoon season visited Chennai last week, but today - at the very least - looks to be sunny and hot, 34 degrees as opposed to Mumbai's 37. No let-up on the temperature front for the West Indies, then. The West Indies will be looking to square the series here, hopefully by lifting their dismal batting standards from Mumbai to leave run-scoring to more people than Shivnarine Chanderpaul. India, for their part, are on a roll, and their mighty batting perfectly complements their spin-force on home wickets. The punters, therefore, would feel obligated to put their money on the home side. But there are five days of cricket to be played, and - in the hoariest of cliches - anything could happen. The toss was won by Carl Hooper, who opted to have first bat. The Indian team remains unchanged, but the West Indies have brought in Gareth Breese and Jermaine Lawson for Cameron Cuffy and Mahendra Nagamootoo. Teams: India: Sourav Ganguly (captain), Sachin Tendulkar, Rahul Dravid, VVS Laxman, Virender Sehwag, Sanjay Bangar, Parthiv Patel, Anil Kumble, Zaheer Khan, Harbhajan Singh, Javagal Srinath West Indies: Carl Hooper (captain), Shivnarine Chanderpaul, Ridley Jacobs, Chris Gayle, Wavell Hinds, Ryan Hinds, Ramnaresh Sarwan, Pedro Collins, Mervyn Dillon, Jermaine Lawson, Gareth Breese, Darren Ganga 0.1 Srinath to Gayle, no run, just on the middle stump, seaming away a touch away from the left hander, who leaves it alone outside the off. 0.2 Srinath to Gayle, no run, on off stump this time, no movement iun the air or off the pitch, and Gayle shoulders arms again. 0.3 Srinath to Gayle, no run, on off stump, just short of a length, and Gayle lets it pass outside the off. 0.4 Srinath to Gayle, no run, good line from Srinath, trying to tempt Gayle outside the off before the batsman has a chance to get his feet moving. 0.5 Srinath to Gayle, no run, on middle and off, seaming away prodigiously but only after it passes the stumps. 0.6 Srinath to Gayle, no run, on middle and leg, and Gayle chops down on it to lay bat on ball for the first time, playing it quietly away to leg.

A little glare from Zaheer completes that tableau. 5.2 Khan to Gayle, no run, short of a length, moving in off the seam to the left hander, but the line is still too much outside off to tempt the batsman into a shot. 5.3 Khan to Gayle, no run, short of a length, and Gayle on the back foot plays it to gully. 5.4 Khan to Gayle, no run, much too wide outside the off, and Gayle, although not yet off the mark, will be content to leave those laone. 5.5 Khan to Gayle, no run, closer to the body this time, and Gayle lets it go past. 5.6 Khan to Gayle, no run, and again, outside the off and left alone.

A slow start for he West Indies here, one run from seven overs! 7.2 Khan to Gayle, FOUR, full and Gayle drives this one down the ground. A diving attempt to stop the ball by mid-on is in vain, and the ball runs away to the boundary right behind the bowler, Sourav Ganguly giving chase and not succeeding in pulling it back. Gayle off the mark~ 7.3 Khan to Gayle, no run, short of a lenght, tempting the batsman into the front foot prod, and the ball whistles past the edge. The bowler goes up in appeal, but there was no noise. 7.4 Khan to Gayle, no run, and again, the batsman being drawn into the drive and being beaten outside the off. 7.5 Khan to Gayle, no run, full delivery, almost in the blockhole, and Gayle punches it straight to mid-off. 7.6 Khan to Gayle, no run, outside the off, and Gayle lookes to leave it, but the ball seams in at the last moment, and no doubt now Gayle will be in some doubt about leaving outside the off.

But that is not saying much, and aside from Carl Hooper's quickfire 35 off 38, the West Indian batting really ground the bowling slowly. But India definitely had the upper hand of the 26 overs since lunch. Three wickets fell, and at 118/4, with only a shaky batting to follow, the West Indies are in some deep waters.

But umpire Shepherd rules not out, although replays suggest it hit glove. 68.2 Harbhajan Singh to Breese, no run 68.3 Harbhajan Singh to Breese, one run, the 'doosra' there as Breese tries to work it to leg and gets a leading edge that bobbles over silly point. 68.4 Harbhajan Singh to Jacobs, no run 68.5 Harbhajan Singh to Jacobs, no run 68.6 Harbhajan Singh to Jacobs, no run, an attempted heave down the ground, but the ball falls just short of Ganguly at mid-on.

The ball takes pad, then glove, and Sehwag at short leg pouches it. In delicious irony, this one - a repklica of an earlier appeal - is given out.

A little reddening bruise for Patel there. 76.5 Harbhajan Singh to Dillon, no run 76.6 Harbhajan Singh to Dillon, no run, Patel being struck on the cheekbone not doing any harm to his vocal cords as he is the first one up in appea when Dillon is struck on the pads en route to a sweep.

Full length and very fast, and the ball just sneaks through Dillon's defence before the bat can come down, shattering the stumps.

Lawson tries to dig out a fullish, fast delivery, but the ball rebounds almost with a life of its own off the bat face, shooting straight to Ganguly at short midwicket, who only has to hop up to pouch the catch. West Indies 167/10, Partnership of 1 JJC Lawson c Ganguly b Kumble 0 (6b 0x4 0x6) PT Collins 1* (2b) A Kumble 23.3-10-30-5 Five-fer for Kumble, his 20th in Test cricket on his 32nd birthday too, a fine gift for both himself and Indian fans. The West Indies end, then on 167 all out, and they took a long time about it, using almost 80 overs to make runs at just over 2 per over. The highest scorer - Carl Hooper - was ironically the one who took the least balls for his runs, playing just 38 deliveries for his 35. Chanderpaul stuck around for some time, but he could only make a slow 27, and no other batsman could keep out the Indian spinners long enough to build a substantial innings. Harbhajan Singh supported Kumble well, getting three for 56, and Srinath and Zaheer Khan picked one each.

Drifting down leg again, Sehwag flicks it off his pads and just helps it along to the fine leg fence. 5.3 Lawson to Sehwag, no run 5.4 Lawson to Sehwag, no run, short of a length, and Sehwag pushes it away into the off. 5.5 Lawson to Sehwag, no run, drifting down leg, and Jacobs collects nicely by diving but then inexplicably goes up for an appeal! 5.6 Lawson to Sehwag, no run, and again down the legs.

He then exchanegs a few friendly words with Sehwag.

Till then, goodbye. Welcome to the second morning of the second Test between India and the West Indies, being played at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. The city experienced lashing rains last night, and that may delay the start of the day's play. The weather is overcast and gloomy - by Chennai standards, at least! That will encourage the West Indian fast bowlers, who are set with the task of making up with the ball where their batsmen failed them. The tourists got only 167 in their first innings yesterday, and if they are to have a sniff of victory in this game, the bowling must perform exceedingly well. India, for their part, did little wrong yesterday, getting the West Indies out fast and then racking up 31 for no loss in the final 8 overs of play. Their task is equally clear-cut - build a big first-innings total, and hopefully then wrap up the West Indies on the fourth and fifth days, on a turning track, to seal the series right here. Efforts are on now to dry the pitch and certain areas of the outfield, so a delayed start looks on the cards, even though the sun has come out and is doing its job of drying the environs. Umpire Shepherd just mentioning now that the outfield and pitch will be inspected at 11 a.m. IST, around an hour and a half from now. The inspection is under-way at the moment, folks, but the conditions are still damp and the umpires have stated that play will begin at 12:10. That may mean that the players will take early lunch and come out at 12:10 for two extended sessions of play. Match State: Day 2 start scheduled for 12:10 IST Play will continue today till 5:30 p.m., an hour after the scheduled close of play, with - if needed - the use of lights.

Match State: Stumps - Day 2 So that ends the second day's play here at Chepauk, India playing a session and a half today due to wet conditions in the morning. Virender Sehwag played his by-now-usual blazing knock of 61 off 65 balls, but his knock was the only bright spot of an otherwise dreary day. Bangar occupied the crease for 226 minutes and 171 balls to make just 40, but he provided a solid start to India as he did in Mumbai. Rahul Dravid lost out on his chance to score his fifth century in as many Tests. Tendulkar, who likes this gournd very much indeed, could not notch up his customary century, going into a shell after the twin strikes of Ganguly and Bangar and falling victim to Lawson. India, then, lead by 23 runs, with three days to play, so join us tomorrow for the crucial third day of this match. Good Morning Hello and welcome to the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai We are about 10 mins away from the scheduled start of play, on day- 3 of the second Test match between India and West Indies Conditions are overcast at this moment, it is a bit hazy. The forecast is for some showers late in the evening, which means we will have enough time to pack in the 105 overs The state of the pitch is just getting bad to worse. There were cracks on this well before the Test match started West Indies did well yesterday to pick five wickets, after Sehwag had threatened to blow the windies team away with some awesome strokeplay A little bit of help from umpire Asoka de Silva, standing in his 19th Test match, and the 13th featuring India - saw Ganguly given out lbw. It is all part of the game! It all happened yesterday, and today is a brand new day Jermaine Lawson is the man India will have to watch out for this morning. he is a genuine fast bowler, and with those cracks on the pitch - it could all turn out to be tricky for the batsmen It is still very hazy, and the lights are on The umpires and players are in the middle We are all set for the start India will resume on 190/5, they lead by 23 runs.

A frenetic day's play too it was, wstarting off with Harbhajan taking the attack to the West Indian bowlers. India finally making 316, a lead of 149 over the West Indies, and one that looked sizeable when one kept the pitch in mind. But the West Indies played aggresivvely in their second innings, with Sarwan making an unbeaten 62, Hinds a quickfire 61, and Hooper a fast 46. Hooper fell just before the close of play, and now much rests with Sarwan, on how well he can negotiate the Indian bowlers tomorrow to help his side set a sizeable target for India in the ofurth innings. On a deteriorating pitch, even 150-odd might be defendable, and India will for their part have to finish off this West Indian innings before the lead grows too great. Whether they will do that only tomorrow will tell, so join us then for the fourth day. Till then, goodby.e Good Morning!

The winning runs, driven through covers, India wins the Chennai Test and also the Test series After winning the toss and electing to bat - West Indies were undone by Anil Kumble picking up five wickets. They were all out for 167 in the first innings. For India, it was once again Sehwag top scoring with 61 - in their first innings total of 316 West Indies in their second innings made 229, Wavel Hinds made 61, Sarwan 78 and Hooper 46. Others just couldn't even get to double figures, which is such a shame. It was once again the West Indies fielding that was a big let down, almost 10 catches dropped in the match, making it easy for India - who cruised to yet another win at home, this time by eight wickets Umpire Asoka de Silva had yet another poor game, far too many these days, while Umpire Shepherd had an excellent game. With the series in the bag, India could very well give the youngster Mohd Kaif a go in the final Test at Kolkata. It is another matter whether the selectors would want to change a winning side Do join us again on the 30th October for the third and final Test at Kolkata.
