    "editor1": "<p><strong>Kingston (Jamaica), Aug 31:<\/strong>&nbsp;Hanuma Vihari scored his second consecutive fifty and inched closer to a maiden hundred as India reached 336\/7 at lunch on Day of the second and final Test against the West Indies at the Sabina Park here on Saturday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Vihari, who cracked a career-best 93 in the second innings of the first rubber as India won by a mammoth 318 runs, brought up his third half century in just his sixth Test appearance after resuming on 42 with India on 264\/5.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>At the break, he was batting on 84 from 158 balls with the help of 13 fours. Ishant Sharma was batting with Vihari on 11. The tourists lost under-fire wicketkeeper batsman Rishabh Pant in the first ball of the day as the 21-year old failed to add to his overnight score of 27, Jason Holder removing his stumps with a delectable inswinger.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Windies skipper Holder, who bowled brilliantly on Day 1 to dismiss India counterpart Virat Kohli (76) among others, was the pick of the bowlers with figures of 4\/62. Vihari and Ravindra Jadeja then added 38 for the seventh wicket before debutant Rahkeem Cornwall (2\/97) had Jadeja caught at mid-on by Darren Bravo.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Jadeja showed a lot of patience for his 16 from 69 balls but Cornwall won the battle of attrition with a length ball outside off which the Saurashtra allrounder slogged to Bravo.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>At the other end, there was no stopping Vihari who went about his job with poise and showed composure of the highest order.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Brief scores: India (overnight 264\/5) 336\/7 at lunch on Day 2 (Hanuma Vihari 84 batting, Virat Kohli 76, Mayank Agarwal 55; Jason Holder 4\/62, Rahkeem Cornwall 2\/97) vs West Indies.<\/p>\r\n",
