3rd T20I Live Updates: INDIA WIN!
That's it. All over. India win by 17 runs and clean sweep the West Indies. The bowlers have stepped up brilliantly. Nicholas Pooran did everything he can but did not find any support from the other end.
The slower one gets the job done once again. Harshal pitches it full and angling in. Shephard tries to go all the way but the ball goes high up in the air. Rohit pouches it at extra cover, and that should be the game.
Is that a co-incidence? Romario Shephard changed his bat after the previous delivery. Full toss on middle and off. He hoicks that way beyond the deep midwicket fence. West Indies still in the game
Pooran brings up his fifty. His third in the series. He has held the innings from one end but need a partner to finish the job for the team. Good knock this from the Windies vice-captain.
That's a biggie. Bishnoi flights it and invites the slog from Shephard. He does exactly that. Tonks this over wide long-on for a six and into the stands.
That's a clean hit. Monstrous. A short of a length ball from Avesh on off after he sees the batter taking a step down the pitch. Shephard bludgeons this over deep square leg
Another one bites the dust! Another slower delivery, and Chase fails to read it completely. Harshal Patel does what he does best. Rocks his leg stump. West Indies six down now.
The Iyer's combine to dismiss Jason Holder. Venkatesh Iyer bowls and Shreyas Iyer takes a fine catch at long-on. West Indies now five down. Need a partnership desperately.
Timely breakthrough for India. Harshal Patel removes Rovman Powell. Pitched short at normal pace but keeps it out of his reach. Powell goes to fetch the pull but the ball goes in the air and Shardul Thakur takes a fine catch at fine leg.
What a cracking shot. Bishnoi bowls the googly wide outside off, but it's too far outside. Pooran gets low to cut it fiercely through point region for a boundary.
It's that combination again. Chahar gets plenty of swing on the ball, Hopes get a fine edge. And Ishan Kishan takes an easy catch. West Indies have been stunned.
Chahar goes short outside off. Hope opens his stance to slap a pull shot to mid-on's left and find the boundary straight. That is easy pickings for the Windies.
GONE! After surviving an appeal just a couple of balls back, Mayers departs. Chahar responds with an absolute peach of a delivery. Faintest of edge. Umpire shakes his head. India go for the DRS. Mayers had to walk back.
That has gone all the way as well. Suryakumar Yadav is loving this at the moment. Full toss on middle from wide of the crease, and he cracks that slog-sweep with his front leg out of the way.
This is even better from Venkatesh Iyer. Three boundaries in a row, one of them was a leg by. An expensive over from West Indies' perspective. 21 runs off. India cruising towards a big total at the moment.
A length ball outside off, and Suryakumar leans into that aerial push to first send that over cover, and then beat long-off to his four. 17 runs of this over.
That's cheeky from Suryakumar. Back of a length ball on off, angling away. He gets across off early and goes down on his back knee to half-sweep-half-lap that. That looked like a top edge but has gone the distance.
A length ball pitching outside leg, as Rohit made room and danced down. But he missed the ball again. The ball tickles the top of middle and leg. He never looked settled.
Ishan Kishan departs. He was looking lively. Roston Chase strikes, not for the first time in this series. He tries to pull and the ball sneaks under bat to hit off stump.
Shreyas Iyer departs. Hayden Walsh strikes. He tries to go all the way but mistimes. He top-edges this and Jason Holder takes a fine catch at long-off.
What a shot! Now Shreyas joins the party. A bit too full, and he comes on the front foot and goes for it. One bounce and over the midwicket boundary for a four.
What a shot from Ishan Kishan. Walsh tosses this up again. Kishan gives himself a bit of room, clears front leg and smacks it straight past the bowler for a boundary.
Decent over for India. Just 6 runs off it. That brings an end to the powerplay. Ishan Kishan and Shreyas Iyer are looking in their groove after Ruturaj Gaikwad had departed in the third over.
Holder attempts a yorker on off but missed by a whisker. Shreyas brings bat down in a beautifully timed punch straight back past the bowler. Delightful batting.
Ruturaj Gaikwad pierces this one between the gap. Given width outside off and he blazes it through point with pleasing timing. Good start from Gaikwad.
First boundary of the match and it comes from the bat of Ruturaj Gaikwad. On the pads and Kishan flicks him off the thigh pad, beats short fine leg and collects a boundary.
West Indies have won the toss and skipper Kieron Pollard elected to bowl first. India make four changes to their playing XI from the previous. India captain Rohit Sharma confirmed that pacer Avesh Khan will make his debut.
Hello! Welcome to our Live coverage of the third and final T20I between India and West Indies from the Eden Gardens in Kolkata. India could make a string of changes, which could present opportunities to the likes of Shreyas Iyer and Ruturaj Gaikwad, in-particular.
