UPDATE 2-Cricket-Kolhi, Agarwal get India back on track after lunch

A patient half-century from skipper Virat Kohli helped India add 85 runs after lunch to move to 157 for three at tea on the first day of the second test in Kingston on Friday.

Mayank Agarwal stabilised the Indian innings with 55 off 127 deliveries before being caught by West Indies debutant Rahkeem Cornwall off a delivery from Jason Holder after India had lost two wickets in the opening session. Spinner Cornwall had also caught opener KL Rahul at first slip for 13 and claimed his first international wicket soon after when he had Cheteshwar Pujara caught at point for six before the teams headed in for lunch.

Kohli struck seven boundaries to reach 52 off 125 deliveries on a green-tinged wicket that offered little joy for the batsmen, with Ajinkya Rahane on 20 at the other end. Earlier, West Indies won the toss and put India in to bat as the hosts look to level the two-match series against Kohli's top-ranked test side.

The start of play was overshadowed by West Indies great Viv Richards appearing to fall ill during his pre-match media duties. He had to be helped off the field, according to ESPNcricinfo. However, they later reported his vitals were stable and that the 67-year-old had suffered a heat stroke.

India won the first test in Antigua by 318 runs. The series is part of the new World Test Championship which involves the nine top-ranked test nations competing in a league between July 2019 and April 2021.
