    33.6 what's happened there? A single bail has come out and the other one wobbles before settling down on middle stump. Rahane was shaping for the pull shot. It was short, yes, but perhaps too close. Gets tucked up for room and makes no contact. The ball just about kisses the bail. Barely comes out, but comes out nonetheless, and that is enough 211/2
    18.2 got him, lovely bowling. Nurse flights this one, just outside off, draws Dhawan forward. He's looking to drive into the covers, but it's bowled slower than his usual delivery, and dips a little shorter, turns past his outside edge as he reaches out, and the reaching out has dragged his back foot out of the crease. Hope takes no time in whipping the bails off 114/1
    41.2 holes out to long-on looking for another big six. Slower ball from Joseph, rolls his fingers over the seam and the ball does not come on too well as a result. Tries to launch it and gets the elevation but not the distance. Nurse settles under it comfortably 285/5
    34.6 gets another outside edge and this time it is snaffled at third man. He came out throwing his hands at everything and West Indies kept firing it wide and taking it out of his reach. Throws everything at this wide delivery and looks to flay it over the off side. All he can manage is pop a catch to Miguel Cummins 223/3
    38.1 is that an edge? Yes, there is. There was a definite sound and it has been given. Length ball, fired wide outside off, it is angled in from wide of the crease before moving slightly away and holding its line. Yuvraj slashes and finds a weather to the keeper 254/4

    0.3 shorter now, slants it into the corridor outside off. Slashes at it, and misses. Or has he missed it? India have reviewed - they appealed belatedly for caught behind, and it wasn't given. Didn't look like the most confident appeal, but they reviewed confidently, if that makes any sense, and Snicko proves them right. A fairly discernible edge, even in terms of noise, shows up clearly on Snicko. Outside edge, close to the toe end. Not much room there, and he ended up slashing with an angled bat 0/1
    25.3 appeal for leg before, Gaffaney says not out and India have asked for a review. Front foot is fine. Nicely flighted and dips extremely late. Hope gets down for a sweep but is done in by the last-minute dip. Lands just in front of the pad, sneaks from beneath the willow as the batsman misses the sweep and spins in. Looks pretty close, he could be gone here. No bat involved, certainly. Hitting middle and leg, so the on-field call will be reversed 112/4
    2.5 and he strikes again. Two in two overs for Bhuvneshwar. Full now, the wide tempter. Mohammed drives with just his hands - his front foot is late in coming across, and his head is nowhere near being over the ball - and slices it uppishly to backward point. Nice low catch from Pandya diving to his left 4/2
    19.6 throws his wicket away. Steps down the track looking for a big hit. Credit to Kuldeep for drawing the batsman forward with some flight. Dips on him and it's a non-turner as well. Makes no contact as he swings and Dhoni completes a straightforward stumping 93/3
    29.2 appeal for lbw and given by umpire Gaffaney. Seemed pretty high at first glance and Carter does not opt for the review. Gets down for a sweep but it's a length ball and hits him quite high. Comes on straight so no question of it being outside the trajectory of the stumps. But height seemed a bit close as it hit him high 132/5
