- 23:27 (IST)India vs West Indies Live: India lose both reviews!16.3 - It was an appeal for LBW and umpire was unconvinced. A Mukesh Kumar delievry had hit Akeal Hosein on the pad. India took a review and the ball was found to be pitching down the leg stump. They lost their second review as well and are left with none now.Only three runs came off the over. West Indies 21 runs in 18 balls.WI 132/8 (17)
- 23:22 (IST)India vs West Indies Live: OUT! The game is alive!West Indies are doing a West Indies here! India are well and truly back in the game. They got three wickets off the Yuzvendra Chahal over and West Indies are eight down, needing 24 runs in 24 balls from here. What a game this is turning out to be!WI 129/8 (16)
- 23:11 (IST)India vs West Indies Live: India lose a review!A Ravi Bishnoi delivery struck Shimron Hetmyer on the front pad but umpire was unconvinced with the appeal. Rightly so as India's review revealed that the ball was pitching down the leg stump. It happened on the second ball of the over. West Indies need 26 runs in 30 balls.WI 127/5 (15)
- 23:04 (IST)India vs West Indies Live: WICKET!Nicholas Pooran is out! It seems it is too late for India now as West Indies need 27 runs in 36 balls. Coming to the wicket, Pooran hit the ball straight into the hands of Sanju Samson at cover-point. Pooran departs for 67 runs off 40 balls.WI 126/5 (14)
- 22:55 (IST)India vs West Indies Live: West Indies on top!This is West Indies' game to lose from here. They need only 47 to win off the remaining 48 balls. Credit for their dominance in this chase goes to Nicholas Pooran, who has single-handedly kept the Indian bowlers at bat. India, on the other hand, badly need some wickets to stand a chance in this game.WI 106/4 (12)
- 22:42 (IST)India vs West Indies Live: WICKET!A ray of hope for India. Hardik Pandya has dismissed Rovman Powell. It was a short ball and Powell slashed it into the hands of Mukesh Kumar at third man. West Indies go four down with that wicket. Powell departs for 21 off 19 balls.WI 89/4 (9.5)
- 22:40 (IST)India vs West Indies Live: Fifty for Pooran!Nicholas Pooran raced to his half-century in 29 balls. This is a brilliant knock from the southpaw. He looked settled in the crease from the word go and kept attacking the Indian spinners to make sure West Indies stayed ahead in this chase of 153 runs.
- 22:17 (IST)India vs West Indies Live: FOUR!A short ball outside off stump and Nicholas Pooran placed it well in front of the point fielder for a boundary. The next ball was also hit for a four. Pooran retained the strike on the final ball of the over. 10 runs came off Mukesh Kumar's first over.WI 43/3 (5)
- 22:12 (IST)India vs West Indies Live: OUT!This was a superb delivery from Arshdeep Singh. He has got his revenge. What a display of skill this is from the young India pacer. He bowled knucle ball and caught Mayers in front of the stumps. Umpire raised his finger and even a review can't save the batter as the ball was found to be just clipping the leg stump.WI 32/3 (3.4)
- 22:06 (IST)India vs West Indies Live: Good start for Pooran!Nicholas Pooran has started his innings in the second game with a similar form from the first one. After scoring only one run off the first five balls he faced, Pooran took the aerial route and slammed a Hardik Pandya delivery for a six. He later hit a four in the over before rotating the strike.WI 21/2 (3)
- 22:00 (IST)India vs West Indies Live: Good review!1.2 - Arshdeep Singh caught Nicholas Pooran in front of the stumps with a fuller and outswinging delivery. Umpire had raised his finger but Pooran decided to go upstairs. It turned out to be a good decision as the ball was found to be missing the off stump. Arshdeep is getting some really good movement on the ball.Only two runs came off the over. Good start from Arshdeep this is.WI 4/2 (2)
- 21:43 (IST)India vs West Indies Live: India post 152 for 7!So, the target for West Indies is 153 runs. The hosts bowled really well tonight as India managed to post a fighting total of 152 for 7 in 20 overs. Tilak Varma -- who scored 51 runs off 41 balls -- showed good promise but he lacked support from other India batters. Alzarri Joseph (2 for 28) was the pick of the bowlers for Windies.IND 152/7 (20)
- 21:28 (IST)India vs West Indies Live: WICKET!Hardik Pandya had hit a six on the second ball of the over and Alzarri Joseph gets his revenge on the final ball. It was a slower yorker from Joseph and Hardik failed to block it properly. The ball bumped from his bat and hit the stumps. Hardik departs at the score of 24 off 18.IND 129/6 (18)
- 21:18 (IST)India vs West Indies Live: Varma is OUT!Tilak Varma will have to depart at the score of 51 off 41 balls. It was a short ball from Akeal Hosein and Varma failed to take advantage of it. He rather mishit the ball into the hands of Obed McCoy at deep backward square leg.IND 114/5 (15.5)
- 21:16 (IST)India vs West Indies Live: Maiden fifty for Tilak Varma!A single and Tilak Varma gets to his maiden international fifty. He gets there in 39 balls. India badly needed this innings from the youngster, who is playing only his second game in international cricket. He is an amazing talent. Varman has already proved his mettle in IPL and he is now doing it at the biggest stage.IND 106/4 (15)
- 21:08 (IST)India vs West Indies Live: FOUR!A superb reverse-sweep from Tilak Varma for a four. He judged the line and length of the Akeal Hosein delivery really well and put it away for a four towards the third man region. Varma took a single on the next ball to retain strike.IND 94/4 (14)
- 21:05 (IST)India vs West Indies Live: West Indies bowling well!West Indies bowlers have muzzled the Indian batters with disciplined attack. They are bowling tight lines and run-scoring has not been easy for the visitors so far in Guyana. This seems like a 150-160 wicket, but India need to accelerate to even get near to that total.IND 85/4 (13)
