    0.1 gone first ball! It took three hours for the match to start, but West Indies wouldn't mind after such a beginning. Extra bounce accounts for Rohit. It was a back of a length ball pitching on middle and off, as the ball took off from the surface to take the shoulder of the bat, with Rohit fending at the ball, before being caught in surprise by the lift. The ball lifted to short third, placed a bit wider than usual, as Hosein there timed his jump really well 0/1
    2.1 taken by the keeper, McCoy strikes off the first ball of his second over too! He bowls from wide of the crease, and angles the ball across the right-hander. Pitches it on a full, driving length just outside off, as Suryakumar leans forward to have a push at that with little foot movement. In fact, he almost seemed off balance while playing at that. India two down early 17/2
    4.2 Iyer goes slashing, and falls to the extra bounce! West Indies strike for the third time in the powerplay. Joseph bowls short and wide of off, with Iyer attempting to slap that over the off side. He ends up playing away from his body, as the extra bounce means he gets an edge behind to the keeper 40/3
    6.3 nabbed at deep midwicket! Pant walks down to a spinner - which is unusual - as Hosein goes fuller, and a touch wide of off. There is turn into the left-hander as well, as the bat seems face seems to have closed for Pant, who could send that only as far as the fielder placed a few steps into the boundary 61/4
    13.4 back of a length, takes pace off. Angling into Hardik and he absolutely hammers a pull in front of square. But placement is poor, and Smith at deep midwicket gets his front of his face to try and take the catch. Bounces off the palm, but he recovers well to grab it in his second take. India five down 104/5
    16.3 looks good for six? Nooo, holes out! That's wicket No. 3 for McCoy. Fullish just outside off, but Jadeja expected a full-pace ball. Instead it was the slower one, and he hasn't timed it well even though the shot looked good in real time. Powell gets under it at long on, and takes it some 20 feet inside the boundary line 115/6
    18.1 that's a four-for for Obed! Short-ish ball on middle and off. DK gets inside the line of the ball to play a cute paddle-pull over short fine leg. But it's not off the bat's sweet spot, and the fielder at short fine runs to his left to take a catch 127/7
    18.4 proving to be the real McCoy! Fullish outside off, and he tries to carve a drive behind square. Hitting against the breeze means it's going to need a lot more power to clear the boundary, and Ashwin perishes attempting that. Sharp catch at deep backward point from Smith, who takes a tumble thereafter, but ensures he stays inside the line 128/8
    18.6 is that a sixth? Keeper goes up, but McCoy isn't interested. Nonetheless, WI review. Length ball on middle, and shaping away from the batter as he looks to defend. Ball whizzes past the outside edge, but it's so close that it is very much a possibility that it has taken a feather touch. And yessss, there's a thin outside edge! McCoy started his spell with a wicket, ends his spell with a wicket. Super six! 129/9
    19.4 middle stump rattled! Yorker on middle. Avesh backed away but couldn't get his bat down in time thereafter. India all out for 138 138/10

    15.3 Avesh with a big roar! And the set batter is gone. King backed away to make room. Avesh didn't bother changing his plans. Goes for the yorker, and this has crashed into middle. But a very composed 68 from King, leaving WI favourites to finish this game off 107/4
    6.1 and he strikes first ball! Fine leg takes a few steps to his left, and gobbles that well. Pandya bowls on the fuller side of a length on middle and leg, as Mayers clips that aerially after losing his balance a bit. That went ballooning to the fielder, and Mayers' struggle ends 46/1
    9.4 finds long-on with his loft! Pooran came down the track pretty early there, and only managed to send that high without much distance. Suryakumar at long-on, who was a few steps into the fence, did well to keep his eyes on it for pretty long. Full delivery from Ashwin on middle and off, as Pooran just opened the face of the bat, but didn't get the timing and placement right. Can India come back in the contest yet? 71/2
    12.3 good length ball on leg stump, cramping Hetty. He backs away to make room, but that doesn't help his cause. Doesn't have the room to free his arms, and he flat-bats it straight back to Jadeja! Too easy for one of international cricket's best fielders. However, the umpires want to check if its a clean catch. Jadeja took it quite low, and it is possible that the ball grazed the pitch before it. Confirmed: OUT. 83/3

    18.2 cleans him up! Cranks the pace up by a few notches, goes full on off stump and Powell misses his attempted glory shot that he wanted to send straight down the ground. Ball crashes into middle and here's Odean Smith, Arshdeep's IPL teammate 124/5
