- BATSMENRB4s6sSR3.1 mix up and run out that was flicked to midwicket without timing, and lobbed up. Shai Hope ran, Hetmyer responded. Suddenly Hope decided there wasn't any run there. Hetmyer turned back, and for some reason, Hope also started running towards the non-striker's end. India nearly didn't get the run out, with Rahul lobbing a throw way over Karthik's head, but Manish Pandey at backward point collected, ran to the stumps and broke them. Some confusion about who is the batsman out, and they rule that it's indeed Hope, since Hetmyer made the crease before Hope did. 22/22.1 got 'im! A very tentative poke outside off, with feet rooted to crease, and he gets a thin, but audible, edge through to the keeper. India have drawn first blood 16/14.4 top edge and taken by Karthik at short fine leg quick ball at 141 clicks. Dug in short and bounced more than he expected. Went for the pull but the ball went miles in the air, Karthik ran to his right and settled nicely under it. Big wicket, given Hetmyer's hitting ability 28/39.2 Krunal Pandya gets his IPL teammate out another one fired in, Pollard went for it, but his bat turned in his hand. It carries straight to Manish Pandey at long-on. He had moved straighter than he was when Pollard had hit the six off Krunal in his last over 47/410.1 superb catch by Dhawan at long-on! Lil Bravo looks to go downtown but is beaten by the turn and dip, goes through with the stroke and toe-ends it. This was not timed but it was a tough catch still because Dhawan had to run around to his right. He did well in getting to the ball and then leapt sideways to take the ball airborne. West Indies sink further. 49/512.3 didn't read the googly at all. Plays a feeble drive, didn't get to the pitch, had a waft at that and managed the thinnest of edges to Dinesh Karthik. 56/614.5 pinned on the pad and he's trapped plumb in front. Went too far back inside the crease to tuck this square on the leg side, beaten by the fizz and once he was struck on the pad, there was only one decision from the umpire. He was so plumb that he didn't even bother reviewing it. Last time he played here, Carlos made everyone remember his name. Tame dismissal this time. 63/717.6 muscled away but straight down Umesh's throat at deep midwicket. Khaleel's first T20I wicket. This was another cutter, Allen picked the length early and the intention was right in trying to pull, but it was almost as if he didn't realise there was a fielder right there at the ropes. 87/8Extras5 (lb 2, w 3)TOTAL109/8 (20 Overs, RR: 5.45)Did not bat: O ThomasFall of wickets: 1-16 (Denesh Ramdin, 2.1 ov), 2-22 (Shai Hope, 3.1 ov), 3-28 (Shimron Hetmyer, 4.4 ov), 4-47 (Kieron Pollard, 9.2 ov), 5-49 (Darren Bravo, 10.1 ov), 6-56 (Rovman Powell, 12.3 ov), 7-63 (Carlos Brathwaite, 14.5 ov), 8-87 (Fabian Allen, 17.6 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR0.6 through him, at 147 kph And they've gone for the review, the West Indians reckon Rohit got a touch on that and is caught behind. And replays confirm an inside edge Rohit will have to go here. Superb delivery, on a length, coming back into the batsman at high pace. It took his inside edge and flew, but Ramdin dived to his left and took a smart catch. Rohit has owned Eden Gardens most times, but not to be today 7/12.5 castled Another 147kph ripper, pitches on a length, straightens a bit. Dhawan went for the drive, leaving a big gap between bat and pad. The ball homed through it like a heat-seaking missile. Sends the stumps cartwheeling. Oshane Thomas is on fire 16/27.3 picks out the man at deep square-leg perfectly Short ball on the stumps, Rahul got into perfect position and pulled it with great timing. The only thing wrong with that shot was the worst thing that could be wrong - he hit it straight to the fielder. India in some trouble now 45/45.4 miles high in the air and taken at point He go the ball to move a bit across, and a poor choice of shot by Pant. Tried to heave it away on the legside, but only got a leading edge that spiralled high and settled into point's hands 35/314.6 this is a superb catch, superb delivery. Pandey jabs at the delivery that grips and hits him high on the bat. Pierre runs spontaneously to his left and then dives full length forward to complete the catch 83/5Extras13 (b 4, lb 5, w 4)TOTAL110/5 (17.5 Overs, RR: 6.16)Fall of wickets: 1-7 (Rohit Sharma, 0.6 ov), 2-16 (Shikhar Dhawan, 2.5 ov), 3-35 (Rishabh Pant, 5.4 ov), 4-45 (KL Rahul, 7.3 ov), 5-83 (Manish Pandey, 14.6 ov)
