His run-a-ball 62 included seven boundaries and four sixes before one from Ashwin turned sharply to send him back just before the lunch break.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Samuels (14) and Roston Chase were at the crease when the umpires called for lunch.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Earlier, West Indies skipper Jason Holder won the toss and elected to bat. They have included debutant pacer Miguel Cummins, replacing all-rounder Carlos Brathwaite.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>India, meanwhile picked opener Rahul in the playing XI in place of the injured Murali Vijay.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Brief Scores: West Indies 88\/4 (Jermaine Blackwood 62, Marlon Samuels 14 not out, Ishant Sharma 2\/24, Mohammed Shami 1\/13)<\/p>\r\n",
