West Indies 256 for 5 (Chanderpaul 111*, Brathwaite 63, Ojha 3-58) Vs India
India will look to enclose up the West Indies first innings when they take the field on the second day of the first test at the Feroz Shah Kotla..
On the first day, Shivnarine Chanderpaul scored a winning century to help the West Indies reach 256 for five at stump in New Delhi.
The duo had put on 108 for the fourth wicket before Brathwaite became the third wounded of the day for Pragyan Ojha (three for 58).
Ojha's fellow spinner Ravichandran Ashwin (two for 79) claims the other two wickets to fall on an opening day where honours ended relatively even between the two sides.
Having win the toss and opted to bat, West Indies openers Brathwaite and Kieran Powell put on 25 before the later became the first wicket to fall.
Powell had previously been drop by Ojha off his own bowling in the 10th over but he was not so fortunate two overs later when, still on 14, he was attentive lbw by the same bowler.
That brought Kirk Edwards to the fold and he added 20 with Brathwaite before becoming India's second injured party, Ojha this time cling on to a caught-and-bowled possibility to send the 27-year-old back for 15.
The West Indies' plight worsens after lunch when they lost Darren Bravo for 12, bowled by Ashwin.
However, the entrance of Chanderpaul gave Brathwaite the support he wanted and the duo started to turn the match around with an imposing century stand, during which both players bring up their half-centuries.
Brathwaite's fifty was only his second in Tests - compare to 57 for Chanderpaul - but the 18-year-old could not twist that into a maiden ton as he was dismiss in the final session.
The youngster was drawn onward by an Ojha delivery and he could not get his foot back in time before Mahendra Singh Dhoni whip the bails off to total the stumping.
That left the West Indies on 180 for four and they lost one more batsman not long after when Marlon Samuels, having strike three fours in a rapid 15, edged Ashwin through to Dhoni.
With their opponents 200 for five, India might have felt the challenge was edging their way, but Chanderpaul and Carlton Baugh (19 not out) respond with an continuous 56-run stand to leave the Windies in a sensible position at stumps.
During that partnership, the 37-year-old Chanderpaul reach his 24th Test century, attainment three figures with half-a-dozen fours and two sixes.
