When you've been flayed by the world's No. 1 Test team by an innings and 272 runs, with your top five managing a combined total of 35 in the first innings, you can't help but treat every over on its merit. Forget sessions. The focus inevitably switches from fight to survival.

Putting the learnt lessons from the Rajkot drubbing to use, West Indies survived the first day's play. Roston Chase struck an unbeaten 98 (174b, 7x4, 1x6) — his second successive half-century — and in captain Jason Holder's (52, 92b, 6x4) company, stitched together a 104-run seventh wicket partnership as it finished on 295 for seven at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium on Friday.
