We head to the Sub-Continent.

Where the West Indies are still probably soaking their feet in hot salts.

That's after they were punished by India on the opening day of the second Test.

Yashasvi Jaiswal carried his bat to score an unbeaten 173 as the host batted all day to close on 318/2.

Jomel Warrican was the only wicket taker as India have their sights set on a massive total.

00:00After struggling to dismiss India in the first test, a daunting day was ahead of the Wendy's bowlers as India decided to bat first.
00:08And Yashashvi Jaiswal and Kiel Rahul were both looking to up the task.
00:13Anderson Phillip was brought in to support Jaden Seals on a slow track.
00:18But while they were economical, the bowling wasn't penetrative.
00:23Except for this delivery from Jomil Warikon.
00:25Spun! And Kiel Rahul looks back at the pitch with suspicion.
00:30Jomil Warikon has him for the second time in two test matches.
00:33That ticket was virtually an anomaly as Jaiswal and Saiz Sudharshan started dominating.
00:39Jaiswal's class was on show as he raised his half century.
00:42When there's low bounce, but this one is going to bring up his half century because he's timed this ball beautifully through covers.
00:49And Jaiswal in a span of just four deliveries post-lunch rumps to his 50.
00:55Sudharshan had his moment as well.
00:57That's the 50 moment.
01:00His second half century in test match cricket.
01:03And Jaiswal's seventh test turn will put him among illustrious company.
01:07Number seven for Yashashvi Jaiswal.
01:11A hundred.
01:13Very, very well crafted.
01:15Respecting the conditions.
01:16The opposition backing himself.
01:19Staying in there.
01:20Saying if I stand in long enough you can't get me out.
01:23And he now has seven hundreds.
01:25Only Graham Smith as an opener had seven international test match hundreds before the age of 24.
01:32It took a review but the Wendy's finally had a reprieve as Oricon broke the 193 run second wicket stand.
01:38Richard, the state of your original decision.
01:42But there was no reprieve from Jaiswal as he showed his penchant for runs.
01:46Of an appetite that is unquestionable, unquenched.
01:53Five now of his seven test match hundreds are 150 plus.
01:58He would close on 173 as India dominated the opening day from start to finish to close on 318 for two.
02:07Terence Clark, TV6 Sport.
