India off to a brisk start against West Indies

Opener Gautam Gambhir hit an unbeaten half-century to guide India to 132-1 at lunch on Monday’s first day of the second Test against the West Indies.
Gambhir was batting on 57 and Rahul Dravid on 33 at the break, with the only dismissal being that of big-hitting opener Virender Sehwag for a brisk 38 after India elected to bat at Eden Gardens.
Sehwag, who clobbered West Indies captain Darren Sammy for six of his eight fours during a 33-ball knock, fell to the same bowler when he was caught by Adrian Barath at short mid-wicket.
India is looking for a series-clinching victory after winning the opening Test in New Delhi by five wickets.
