West Indies take early advantage against India

West Indies' bowler Fidel Edwards celebrates after trapping India's Praveen Kumar LBW for four runs on the opening day of their first cricket Test match in Kingston, Jamaica, Monday June 20, 2011.


Pacer Fidel Edwards returned from a two-year absence to snatch a four-wicket haul as West Indies dismissed India for 246 on today’s opening day of the first Test at Sabina Park in Kingston.

However, West Indies have lost an early wicket in their reply to reach 20 for one with another 12 overs remaining in the day’s play.

Lendl Simmons was dismissed by Ishant Sharma for three with the score on 18.

Earlier, Edwards accounted for Virat Kohli, Harbhajan Singh, Praveen Kumar and Amit Misra.

Ravi Rampaul supported with three for 59 off 18 point 2 overs and leg spinner Devendra Bishoo, three for 75 from 11 overs.

Suresh Raina top scored for India with 82 following a seventh-wicket partnership of 148 with Harbhajan Singh, who scored 70. The pair rescued India from a shaky 85 for six.
