In Stats: 7 Records To Take You Through Day 1 of Hyderabad Test

Chase finished the day two runs short of a fourth test ton, having faced 174 balls, with seven fours and a six.

Roston Chase was 98 not out as he led the West Indies' recovery to 295/7 against India on day one of the second test in Hyderabad on Friday.

The West Indies was in peril again at 113/5 and 182/6, but Chase and captain Jason Holder rescued them with a 104-run stand.

It was the best passage of batting by West Indies in this brief series, especially after the hapless twin innings in the three-day first test at Rajkot.

Despite much of the top order gone, Chase didn't panic as he set about rebuilding with Holder, who matched him for strokes.

Their 50 partnership came in 96 balls as West Indies crossed 250 in the 80th over.

Holder reached his eighth test half-century off 85 balls with their 100 stand coming off 176 deliveries.

Chase finished the day two runs short of a fourth test hundred, having faced 174 deliveries, inclusive of seven fours and a six. Devendra Bishoo was with him on 2 not out.

Here’s a look at the records from Day 1 of the Hyderabad Test between India and West Indies:

• The Indian team handed Shardul Thakur his maiden Test cap; the 26-year old pacer from Mumbai would become the 294th cricketer to play Test cricket for India.
• The wicket of Kieran Powell was Ravichandran Ashwin's 500th scalp in First-class cricket; interestingly, he has picked up 334 of those wickets in Test cricket.
• The 69-run partnership between Roston Chase and Shane Dowrich would be the best 6th wicket partnership by a visiting team in Tests at the Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium in Hyderabad; the previous highest was 51.
• The 104-run partnership between Roston Chase & Jason Holder would be the highest 7th wicket partnership by a visiting team in Tests at the Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium in Hyderabad; the previous highest was the 87-run stand between Bangladesh's Mushfiqur Rahim and Mehedi Hasan.

• There was a period of 50 overs - between overs 41 and 91 - when the Indian team did not bowl a single maiden over.
• Roston Chase finished Day 1 unbeaten on 98; this would be the second time he would end a day's play in the nervous nineties. Earlier, in a Test match against Zimbabwe at Bulawayo in 2017, he ended Day 3 on 91, only to be dismissed for 95 on the following day.
• West Indies ended Day 1 at 295/7 which would be their highest total in their last eight Test innings in India. The last time they posted a total in excess of 250 in a Test match in India was in the first innings of the Mumbai Test in 2011.
