India dominated proceedings once again on Day 2, firmly tightening their grip on the match. Resuming at 318/4, the hosts added a commanding 200 runs before declaring at 518/5. Yashasvi Jaiswal extended his rich form with a brilliant 175, while Shubman Gill remained unbeaten on 129*, anchoring the innings with composure and flair. The West Indies bowlers toiled hard but lacked penetration on a flat Visakhapatnam surface.
 
In response, the visitors showed improved application compared to their first Test debacle in Ahmedabad. Despite losing John Campbell early to a bizarre dismissal, Tagenarine Chanderpaul and Alick Athanaze steadied the ship with a dogged 66-run partnership. However, the familiar story of poor shot selection reappeared as Chanderpaul fell after a lapse in concentration, triggering a mini-collapse from 87/1 to 107/4.
 
Shai Hope looked confident and positive during his brief stay, while debutant Tevin Imlach showed grit in his unbeaten innings. With the pitch still offering decent batting conditions, West Indies will need a strong Day 3 to stay alive in the match. India, on the other hand, will look to remain disciplined and wait for mistakes to creep in.
 
Join us at 9:30 AM IST for what promises to be a crucial third day.

India vs West Indies LIVE SCORE UPDATES 2nd Test Day 2: WI 102/2 after 30 overs!

West Indies added 29 runs in this five-over phase but lost the crucial wicket of Tagenarine Chanderpaul, who fell for 34 after a resilient knock. His dismissal came against Ravindra Jadeja, edging one to slip right after hitting a six — a lapse in concentration post drinks.

Alick Athanaze remained composed, moving to 41*, playing some smart reverse sweeps and rotating strike well. Shai Hope joined him and immediately looked busy at the crease, punching a classy boundary and surviving a close LBW review (umpire's call). Jadeja remained the pick of the bowlers with 2/28 from 8 overs, while Bumrah returned to apply pressure but was slightly expensive.

At 102/2 after 30 overs, West Indies are building a steady platform but will need to accelerate soon.

Chanderpaul, anchoring the innings, chipped in with a couple of aggressive strokes, including a miscued loft over mid-on and a lucky glove for four. Ravindra Jadeja continued to be economical, bowling consecutive maidens and maintaining pressure. Kuldeep Yadav was tested with reverse sweeps but remained probing. Washington Sundar returned and was reverse-swept early for four, but settled back into a tidy spell. The duo has now put on the first 50+ partnership for West Indies this series, showing improved composure and intent

The Indian spinners, Kuldeep Yadav, Washington Sundar, and Ravindra Jadeja, maintained a stranglehold on the scoring. Athanaze and Chanderpaul showed patience but found it tough to rotate strike or find boundaries.

Jadeja returned in the 20th over and bowled a maiden, building more pressure. The West Indies’ scoring rate dipped, with both batters stuck in the 10s.

Earlier, Washington Sundar bowled tight lines, giving away just two runs in his two overs and beating the bat a couple of times with turn and bounce. Kuldeep started with a couple of tidy overs before Athanaze broke free. Chanderpaul remained steady at the other end, rotating strike but largely playing a defensive role as the partnership grew
