AHMEDABAD:

Red-hot Mohammed Siraj and Jasprit Bumrah led India's bowling charge with seven wickets between them as the hosts dismissed the West Indies for 162 on day one of the first Test on Thursday.

A depleted West Indies won the toss in Ahmedabad but the Indian attack struck regular blows at the start of the two-match series to bowl out the visitors in 44.1 overs in the second session.

Siraj returned figures of 4-40 to extend his tally of Test wickets to 27 this year, having played a key role in India's 2-2 draw in England.

After an initial first spell of 3-19 in seven overs, Siraj returned in the second session to get one more wicket and was ably supported by Bumrah.

Number seven Justin Greaves top-scored with 32 before being bowled by Bumrah.
