Neither India nor West Indies could claim to have the advantage after a dramatic second day of the first Test in Delhi which saw 17 wickets fall. The visitors lost their last five first-innings wickets for 48 runs to be all out for 304 but India folded for 209. The West Indies lost openers Kieran Powell for a duck and Kraigg Brathwaite (2) to finish the day at 21 for 2, 116 runs ahead.
