==================================================================================== INDIA AOver: 23||Score: 70/1
VA Jagadeesh and Gautam Gambhir opened the India A innings.

Gambhir scored 11 (44b, 4X1). His departure brought captain Cheteshwar Pujara to the middle. That first wicket partnership was worth 44 runs. West Indies A have used four bowlers till now – Edwards, Cummins, Permaul and Deonarine. Edwards has been the most expensive of the lot giving away 30 runs in his four overs.
