NEW DELHI (AP) — First-day century maker Yashasvi Jaiswal was run out early on the second day of the second cricket test between India and West Indies as the hosts reached 427-4 at lunch Saturday.

Jaiswal was involved in a mix-up with Shubman Gill in the second over of the morning session, and was run out for 175 runs off 258 balls. He hit 22 fours.

Jaiswal was unbeaten on 173 runs and scored his seventh test century on Friday’s opening day.

Gill was unbeaten on 75 runs at lunch Saturday, with Dhruv Jurel (7 not out) for company, as India piled on the runs after shrugging off the early setback. Nitish Reddy scored 43 off 54 balls.

India leads the two-match series 1-0 after it won the first test in Ahmedabad by an innings and 140 runs. West Indies has not beaten India in their last 26 tests — home or away — dating to 2002.

Jaiswal was run out on the eighth ball of the morning Saturday. He set off for a run, with partner Gill turning him back too late, and Tagenarine Chanderpaul’s throw from mid-off found him way short of the crease.

Jaiswal and Gill had put on 74 runs for the third wicket.
