Roston Chase could trouble dominant hosts

Second Test
5am Friday

The West Indies were walloped by an innings and 272 runs in the first Test against India and they are 20-1 outsiders to bounce back with a victory in Hyderabad.

In the last three Tests at the venue India inflicted innings defeats on New Zealand and Australia before racking up 687-6 declared in last year's win over Bangladesh.

Centuries from Prithvi Shaw, Virat Kohli and Ravindra Jadeja helped India to 649-9 in the first Test and the West Indies offered little batting resistance in reply.

Roston Chase played some bold strokes in his innings of 53 and 20, however, and the 4-1 that he reaches 50 again looks a decent price about a man who scored an unbeaten 137 against India in 2016 in only his second Test.
