Siraj to Brandon King, out Bowled!! Siraj gets rid of King and celebrates in his normal Ronaldo style - it's the big nip-backer, but that's a shocking leave from King. You can't be letting a ball go alone and then watch your middle-stump sent cart-wheeling, it's another big inswinger from Siraj, jags back in sharply and you'd be surprised that a batter let it go by without offering a shot. He'd definitely saw it coming, two big inswinging deliveries and yet he shoulders arms to another one. West Indies in a spot of bother on the first morning. Brandon King b Siraj 13(15) [4s-3]

Siraj to Brandon King, no run, a confident shout for LBW by Siraj, but this looked like heading down leg and Dhruv Jurel hardly went up - India will not review - the nip-backer and King was caught in the crease as he pressed forward, struck in front of middle and leg and would've gone down with the angle

Siraj to Brandon King, FOUR, cracking shot, the awayswinger from Siraj, but it's too full and too wide of off - lets King reach out with the hands on the drive and he hammers it through cover-point
