7.4 OUT! TIMBER! Rohit Sharma is out of here. Maybe, he got frustrated as he wasn't getting the strike and was also not able to get the boundaries away. He looks to be innovative as he tries to paddle scoop this delivery which is around middle and leg. It is a length ball. Misses and it clips the bails. Once again, just as the partnership started to get going, West Indies break through. The shot could be questioned though as already 11 had come from the three balls. Maybe he wanted to get one right out off the middle to get in that feel-good factor. Windies though will be delighted. 56/2

| KL Rahul | 11 | 11 | 1 | 0 | 100 |

3.1 OUT! In the air... taken! Once again it is Pierre who picks the first wicket. It was Rohit in the last game and it is Rahul this time. Khary tosses it up, nice and slow around middle. Rahul brings out the slog sweep but only manages to get a top edge. It goes high up in the air towards deep mid-wicket where Hetmyer takes a good catch. Good wicket as Rahul was in good touch. Also, he played that shot brilliantly in the last game but this time, the wicket is not as true as the last one and hence, he could not get hold of it. A much-needed wicket as the openers were off to a good start. 24/1

| Shivam Dube | 54 | 30 | 3 | 4 | 180 |
|
10.3 OUT! TAKEN! Walsh does get his man. The missed chance does not count for a lot. Pollard will be a relieved man as Dube was taking the game away from his side. End of an electrifying knock by Dube. He kept going after the bowler, he sees the flight on this one which is tossed outside off. Dube swings but only ends up slicing it up in the air towards extra cover where Hetmyer goes back and makes no mistake. West Indies now will look to crawl back into the game. 97/3

| Virat Kohli C | 19 | 17 | 2 | 0 | 111.76 |
|
13.2 OUT! CAUGHT! Absolute silence here in the stadium. The battle between Kohli and Williams is won by the latter this time. He does not get the notebook out though just puts his finger on the lips and signals that he would probably remain quiet. Sees Kohli come down the track and bangs it short. Kohli looks to guide it towards short third man but fails to get on top of the bounce. It hits the higher part of the bat and lobs towards that fielder. Simmons takes a dolly. Wickets is the only way West Indies can stop this run flow. 120/4

16.2 OUT! Walsh gets another! He tosses it up outside off, Iyer looks to go big but the ball turns away. It goes off the outer half uppishly towards point where King takes a good catch. Half the side back in the hut for India. Can Windies keep them under 180? 144/5

19 OUT! KABOOM! The off pole is uprooted. You miss, I hit stuff! A slower one on off, Jadeja swings but is done in by the lack of pace. He misses and the stumps are shattered. A wicket to end the penultimate over. A good one by Williams, 8 runs and a wicket. 164/6

| Washington Sundar | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | |
|
19.4 OUT! CAUGHT AND BOWLED! Out comes the salute. First wicket for Cottrell. One more slower one on off, Sundar waits for it and tries to pull. It hits the higher part and then lobs back gently to Sheldon who makes no mistake. This is a very good last over till now. 3 runs and a wicket. Two balls to go. 167/7

| Evin Lewis | 40 | 35 | 3 | 3 | 114.28 |
|
9.5 OUT! STUMPED! Sundar strikes in his last over of his spell. A much-needed wicket for India. End of an excellent opening stand. Credit to Washington. He has beautifully bowled that. He slows it up nicely, gives it a lot of loop. Lewis comes down the track and swings wildly. Is beaten because of the turn and Pant behind makes no mistake. They go upstairs to check whether Pant has taken it behind the stumps and he has done so. The crowd finally finds its voice back. However, why did Lewis play that shot? He has been struggling against Sundar and it was the second last ball of the offie's spell, he could have probably played it out but he had different ideas. India will hope to pull things back into their half now. 98 needed in 61. 73/1

| Shimron Hetmyer | 23 | 14 | 0 | 3 | 164.28 |
|
13.4 OUT! It is clean as a whistle! That is an absolute blinder. Virat Kohli is an absolute inspiration. Delivers with the bat when his team needs him and now does so in the field. Take a bow skipper! This is flatter and on middle, Hetmyer hammers it flat towards the long on fence. Kohli runs to his right, stretches his hands out and then takes a tumbling catch. He does exceptionally well to not slide onto the ropes. He indicates out straightaway. However, the umpire takes it upstairs. Replays roll in and they show that the catch is a brilliant one. A huge wicket as Hetmyer was hitting the boundaries at will. The game once again hangs in the balance now. 112/2
