- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR2.3 leading edge caught by third man. Closed the bat face too early and the ball swung a bit away too. Mayers juggled the ball which was coming straight to him but managed to hold on. Holder strikes early. 10/19.4 castled. Kishan has been rocking back to pull the spinners when they're going short, but he's not been timing them that well. This one, he didn't connect at all, with Chase slowing the pace a bit. Looks to pull and the ball sneaks under bat to hit off stump 66/38.3 top edge taken by long-off. Loopy ball and Shreyas was looking for the big wind-up to send him to Salt Lake Stadium from Eden, but the leggie spinning away from him gets a top edge and instead to of midwicket the ball swirls to long-off. Holder runs in from the boundary and has enough time to settle under it and grab it safely. Crucial strike, Shreyas was looking good. 63/213.5 down the track, and he is bowled! Rohit's experiment at No. 4 ends with a 15-ball 7. He never looked settled, and struggled to get going, and in the end perishes after trying to attack. It was a back of a length ball pitching outside leg, as Rohit made room and danced down. But he missed the ball again, as it angled away on pitching, and ended up tickling the top of middle and leg. The bails lit up just like Drakes' face, and West Indies strike again 93/419.6 taken at deep midwicket! West Indies and Shepherd have something to smile about right at the end. It was a low full toss on middle, and he swung again to aim for the leg side this time. He smashes that after clearing his front leg, and doesn't clear the longer boundary there. Surya's monstrous knock at a strike rate of 209 comes to an end, and we can all breathe during the break 184/5Extras14 (lb 10, w 4)TOTAL184/5 (20 Overs, RR: 9.2)Fall of wickets: 1-10 (Ruturaj Gaikwad, 2.3 ov), 2-63 (Shreyas Iyer, 8.3 ov), 3-66 (Ishan Kishan, 9.4 ov), 4-93 (Rohit Sharma, 13.5 ov), 5-184 (Suryakumar Yadav, 19.6 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR0.5 swinging past the outside edge and a huge appeal for caught behind not given. Rohit reviews immediately. Everyone near the bat went up in spontaneous appeal. Good length swinging away from him, he's caught on the crease again, no feet movement and poking at it. There's a spike on Ultra edge and Mayers will have to go. That clearly took the edge as it went past, which is why the Indians went for an immediate review. 6/12.4 and he's got another one caught behind. Sultan of Swinging his way is Deepak Chahar and though West Indies are not in Dire Straits yet, it's some early trouble. Got this to move perfectly in the channel on a length, Hope looking to drive at it gets a thin edge and the finger goes up pretty soon. 26/217.1 Pooran sends that milesss up, and Kishan pouches it! Thakur gets a big one first ball. Slower ball, and full and a bit wide of off. Pooran has a heave at that away from his body, but seems to be beaten by the change of pace there. The ball is skied way up, and keeps hanging up for a long time. Kishan rushes to his left and dives, and gets that in 148/76.5 outstanding catch by Shardul at fine leg. Harshal bowls the short ball at normal pace but keeps it out of Powell's hitting arc and gets it to bounce well too, wide outside off. Powell goes to fetch the pull while collapsing his back leg, gets it off the toe-end as the bat twirls in his hands and the ball swirls high. Shardul's tracking it well while running back and catches it calmly. 73/38.3 connects well but it's hit straight to deep cover. Full ball outside off, and Pollard knows he has to take this over for runs so he goes hard at it. The ball flies straight and true and Bishnoi - who has dropped catches in the past two T20Is - takes it safely at shoulder height in front of him 82/410.2 gets bat on ball this time, but finds long-on! Venky contributing with both bat and ball, and he now has two big wickets for his side. A back of a length ball on off, and Holder has a swing to the on side after getting his front leg out of the way. That wasn't well timed and neither off the middle of the bat, as long-on takes it low 87/511.5 bowled him! Another slower delivery, and this reminds me of his IPL heroics. An offcutter pitching on a full length on off, and completely foxes the batter with its lack of pace. Chase waits for it to come, before almost seemingly losing patience while trying to have a jab at that with his front leg on leg stump. He loses his bottom hand, and is castled 100/618.5 grabbed by Rohit at extra cover, and that should be the game! Shepherd had to go for the big hit - he had no option after all - as Harshal went for a change of pace again. Although the ball was full and right in the slot on middle and off, Shepherd is too early into his shot. Game done I would guess, as Harshal continues to impress in the death overs 158/819.3 very well taken by Rohit! He was hovering right on the edge of the circle at mid-off, and dives forward and low to his right. Thakur again went for a change of pace, and bowled full and outside off, although closer than the previous ball. Very composed catch there 166/9Extras10 (lb 3, w 7)TOTAL167/9 (20 Overs, RR: 8.35)Fall of wickets: 1-6 (Kyle Mayers, 0.5 ov), 2-26 (Shai Hope, 2.4 ov), 3-73 (Rovman Powell, 6.5 ov), 4-82 (Kieron Pollard, 8.3 ov), 5-87 (Jason Holder, 10.2 ov), 6-100 (Roston Chase, 11.5 ov), 7-148 (Nicholas Pooran, 17.1 ov), 8-158 (Romario Shepherd, 18.5 ov), 9-166 (Dominic Drakes, 19.3 ov)
