— Sachin Tendulkar (@sachin_rt)When the Indian innings started, it was all about how comfortable Shaw looked against Shannon Gabriel and Jason Holder, as he completed his fifty in only 39 balls.
He started by using Gabriel's pace to hit a couple of boundaries. The first was guided past gully and the next was slashed hard over third-man for a six. When Holder pitched up, he played a lovely cover drive and an off-drive.
As Shaw scored with ease, his opening partner KL Rahul (4) looked like a player, who has currently lost all his confidence. Against the same bowlers he struggled and his miseries ended when he played on against Holder.
The only blemish on Shaw's part before he reached his half century was a dropped catch off left-arm spinner Jomel Warrican. Shai Hope, at first slip, dropped it as Shaw tried to play a cut.
