Virat Kohli's first overseas test century in five years helped India to a mammoth total of 438 on the second day of the second test against West Indies in Port of Spain on Friday, before the hosts made a solid start in response.
The West Indies, who lost the opening test of the two-match series, started slowly in testing conditions but reached 86-1 at the close of play with skipper Kraigg Brathwaite unbeaten on 37 and debutant Kirk McKenzie at the crease. The hosts are still not out of the woods on a wicket that is slowing down with each session and trail India by 352 runs with nine wickets in hand ahead of the third day.
It was the former captain's first hundred outside India since his 123 against Australia in Perth in 2018. His 29th ton in the longest format also meant that he equalled Australian great Don Bradman.
