    20.4 BOWLED! No fifty for KL Rahul, as the ball jags in with the natural angle, and from a length, and just kisses the top of off-stump. The perfect ball in many ways, as Rahul is caught on the half-cock, unsure of how far forward to stretch 98/2
    5.6 good length and has it paid dividends? There was a noise as it went past the bat and West Indies have reviewed it. Pitched on a hard length and jagged back in sharply. Rohit left a gap between bat and pad, and the ball snaked through that. Did it hit bat or pad though? The third umpire says bat, and Roach has struck a huge blow. Rohit Sharma is shaking his head as he walks off, it appears he doesn't think he got an inside edge. 29/1
    38.2 Kohli's filthy with himself. He's just pulled a half-tracker to midwicket. It was short, seemed to stop a bit on the pitch. Didn't bounce as much too. Kohli got into position to pull but played it too early, had to also adjust for lack of bounce and the ball goes very tamely off the toe end. Comfortable catching height and he gobbles it up. Kohli can't believe it, but he has to walk back 180/5
    26.1 GOT 'IM! Peach of a ball, fuller in length, and just nips away a touch as Shankar plays inside the line of this. Enough movement to catch the outside edge, and Hope dives away to his right to pick this up. Good time to get a breakthrough, just as these two were putting together a healthy stand for India! 126/3
    28.5 length, outside off, and he has a nibble at this. Appeal for caught-behind, but not given. West Indies have reviewed this! Shai Hope looked very confident, and they went up straight away! There's a feather edge on this, and that's the end of Jadhav! Roach strikes again... 140/4

    48.2 carved out straight to deep cover. Hardik has been mistiming the ball in the air, but his luck runs out, and Cottrell can finally bring out his salute. Slower ball on the fifth stump, Pandya tries to power it over extra cover, but slices it 250/6
    48.5 caught behind. Shami's stay is very brief. Short ball on leg stump, Shami was moving inside the line and wanted to send this out of the stadium, but his intended pull gets only a glove through to the keeper. 252/7

    4.5 FIRST BLOOD! It's another short ball, which sticks in the pitch a bit. Gayle looks to pull, but can only meekly put this up in the air to the left of mid on. Kedar Jadhav runs to his left, and has ample time to grap this, reverse-cup. Kohli is thrilled, and he lets his teammates know that 10/1
    17.6 given him! Hardik gets a wicket after a few close calls. Bowled the offcutter, and Ambris didn't read it, played all around it and was struck on his pads, right in front. Opts not to review - and I think that's a good decision. Perhaps not as good a decision by Pandya to mockingly clap and tell the batsman he has to leave. 71/3
    6.5 GONE! This is full again, and straight, and Hope has played all over this one. Looks to go down the ground with a straight drive, but just a touch of movement back in, beats the inside edge, and just clips the top of off. Ideal ball again from Mohammad Shami, as India continue to make early inroads... 16/2
    20.2 caught at long-off! That's a poor shot, he was never in control of it, more like he thought he'd swing for the fences and hope to connect just to relieve the pressure. Tossed up outside off, hits through the line without moving his feet, slices it high in the air and it pops down long-off's throat 80/4
    28.3 PLAYED STRAIGHT TO POINT! Shami comes around the wicket, and sends one outside off, with some width from the length too. Hetmyer has a swing at it, but cannot keep it down, and gets it straight to KL Rahul. India go up, as does the crowd. The end is nigh, folks... 112/8
    23.5 straight to cover. Holder wasn't reading any of the wrist spinners, and he decided on aggression to throw them off their lengths perhaps, but doesn't move his feet. Tries to go inside out to a ball that is not quite full and is spinning across him, ends up not timing it and hitting down cover's throat 98/5
    26.1 terrific take by Dhoni Back of a length and bowled from wider of the crease, holds its line and opens up Brathwaite, who can only follow the ball with bat and snick through. Dhoni dives to his right and takes a one-handed catch. 107/6
    26.2 oh that's a dead duck 144 kph and Fabian Allen is going for a review, but I think this is just a review because he's the last man with batting chops left. Fast 144kph ball on a length, nipping in, catches him on the crease, his bat is too late coming down and hits him on the knee roll. No bat involved, and it's umpire's call on hitting the stumps. So Allen has to go, but West Indies keep their review. 107/7

    29.5 wrong 'un, and he has moved inside the line of this. Given out leg-before, as he misses out with an intended flick. Will they review this? Nope. Off he walks then... 124/9
    34.2 short ball, seems to have come off his shoulder. India want to review this as Shami catches it on the follow-through! It's taken the glove as he looks to pull but sees the ball get pretty big on him, and that should be all over. Michael Gough gives this out. A TV replay leads to enough evidence to overturn the original decision, in almost perfect symmetry to how the first wicket fell 143/10
