It was the opening session of the second day of their second and final four-day Test match in the Indians' Caribbean tour at Bourda Cricket Ground yesterday.

Wicketkeeper Wayne Phillip made just four runs before he was dismissed by left arm leg-spinner Rahul Sanghvi off a catch by Murali karthik. West Indian speedster D Mais also did not last long, run out after a mixup with Phillip.

The Indian openers were off to a flying start, smashing 50 without loss. However, captain Gagan Khoda was forced to retire hurt on 18 after being struck in the groin area by West Indian pacer Goldwyn Prince. The score was 41 for no loss.

Prince has troubled all the Indian batsmen, generating good pace from a placid Bourda track ideal for batting.

The Indian half-century came off 9.4 overs in just 53 minutes.

But the visitors, solidly placedat lunch at 63 without loss, faltered in the afternoon and limped to 211 for the loss of seven wickets at the close of play.

Mohammed Kaif on 45 and Murali Karthik on six were at the crease.
