Centuries by newcomer Yashasvi Jaiswal and captain Rohit Sharma launched India to a 162-run lead against the West Indies on day two Thursday of a dragging first test.
Mr. Jaiswal carried his bat through the day to be 143 not out on debut. He and Rohit moved their opening partnership from 80 overnight to 229.
Even so, India crawled to stumps on 312-2. Virat Kohli was with Jaiswal at 36 not out.
West Indies could prise out only two wickets on a typically slow Windsor Park pitch despite bowling tight, waiting 20 overs to take the new ball, and employing nine players to bowl.
Another playing his first test, West Indies middle-order bat Alick Athanaze, earned his maiden test wicket when he got Rohit and broke the massive opening stand.
Athanaze's 13 overs of off-spin compensated for the absence of Rahkeem Cornwall, who bowled his third maiden over then walked off in the morning session due to an apparent chest infection.
Jaiswal and Rohit were restricted to 66 runs in 32 overs in the first session. But they were enough to post India's first 100-run opening partnership in nearly a year.
