Hightlights, India vs West Indies, Full Cricket Score, 2nd ODI match result at Trinidad: Bhuvneshwar stars with 4 wickets as visitors clinch win to lead 1-0

Kohli: Exactly why we wanted to bat first. In the second innings we saw how it got more difficult to bat. Knew 270 was going to be challenging. Felt good to get a hundred, especially when the team needed me to do so. It was important to string in as many dot balls as possible as the ball got wet (in the second innings). We felt batting got easy when Nicholas was out there along with Evin. It was about sticking in there and luckily we got it (dismissal) in time. (On Kuldeep’s inclusion) The number of left-handers tempts you to go with a chinaman. (On Shreyas Iyer) Again brilliant. Stepping in, not having played many games in the past. Confident guy, positive body language. After I got out, he got those extra runs.

Virat Kohli is the Player of the Match for his innings of 120!

Jason Holder: Very disappointing. We bowled really well and the almost had the game. We lost crucial wickets at the back end to lose the game. The pitch was pretty good but the bowlers did well despite the tough humid conditions. The batsmen have to take the responsibility. They have been letting us down far too often.

“The momentum I got from India A, got a bit of advantage. Knew how the wicket would play. I decided I’m not going to take any risks, and rotate the strike with Virat. I had to give him strike as much as possible. The way he supported me as well, was really something to learn,” says Shreyas Iyer (71 off 68 balls) in a post-match interview.

After 42 overs,West Indies 210/10 ( Jason Holder (C) 13 , )

Shami bowls out what turns out to be the final over. Cottrell lofts the ball over mid off for a boundary off the second delivery, but is dismissed next ball, thanks to a terrific catch by Jadeja running in the wrong direction near fine leg. The match comes to an end after Shami traps Thomas lbw for a golden duck, with India emerging victors by 59 runs after the target was revised to 270 from 46 overs.

OUT! Shami grabs the final wicket as India go 1-0 up in the three-match series with a 59-run win (DLS method). Thomas is pinged what looked plumb to the naked eye. Umpire Brathwaite took a couple of seconds, moving forward before slowly raising his finger. WI 210 all out

Thomas lbw Shami 0(1)

OUT! Cottrell’s little cameo comes to an end as Jadeja takes a well-judged catch near fine leg while running in the wrong direction — a feat that is actually tougher than it appears. Was a short one from Shami, and Cottrell got a thick edge while attempting a pull. WI 209/9

Cottrell c Jadeja b Shami 17(18)

FOUR! Cottrell picks the fuller delivery from Shami, smacking it over mid off to collect another boundary for himself! WI 209/8

After 41 overs,West Indies 204/8 ( Jason Holder (C) 11 , Sheldon Cottrell 13)

Bhuvi brought back in place of Shami, and he starts off with a knuckle ball, beating Holder’s bat-swing. Holder tries to slog a knuckle ball three balls later, but is unable to clear the midwicket fence on this occasion, this time collecting two. Three off the over. West Indies need 66 to win off 30 balls.

After 40 overs,West Indies 201/8 ( Jason Holder (C) 8 , Sheldon Cottrell 13)

Now Khaleel replaces Jadeja. Nine off the over, including a six to Cottrell over the square leg-fence off the penultimate delivery that brings up the 200 for the hosts. West Indies need 69 to win off 36 balls.

SIX! Pulled away over the square leg fence by Cottrell off Khaleel! Brings up the 200 for his team in the process! WI 201/8

After 39 overs,West Indies 192/8 ( Jason Holder (C) 6 , Sheldon Cottrell 6)

Shami returns to the attack in place of Bhuvneshwar. Holder and Cottrell opt to rotate the strike between themselves, with three singles coming off the over. West Indies need 78 off 42.

After 38 overs,West Indies 189/8 ( Jason Holder (C) 4 , Sheldon Cottrell 5)

Seven runs off Jadeja’s fourth over, including a boundary to Cottrell off the penultimate delivery. West Indies need 81 off 48.

FOUR! Heaved away towards the cow corner fence by Sheldon Cottrell off Ravi Jadeja. Cottrell just reminded the opposition he’s no mug with the bat at all. WI 189/8

After 37 overs,West Indies 182/8 ( Jason Holder (C) 2 , Sheldon Cottrell 0)

Holder grabs a single off the first delivery, before Roach chops the ball onto the stumps to depart for a three-ball duck off the next delivery, bringing Cottrell to the crease. Huge appeal for caught-behind against the West Indies No 10, which is turned down by umpire Llong. India don’t have a review left, which they rue when they see UltraEdge confirming a nick off the gloves on the giant screen. Another superb over from the pacer, with just a run and a wicket coming off it. West Indies need 88 off 54.

OUT! West Indies are fast tumbling towards a defeat now! Roach ends up chopping the ball onto his stumps to depart for a three-ball duck as Bhuvi grabs his fourth wicket of the innings. WI 182/8

Roach b Bhuvneshwar 0(3)

After 36 overs,West Indies 181/7 ( Jason Holder (C) 1 , Kemar Roach 0)

Jadeja returns to the attack. Holder gets off the mark with a single off the third delivery. Brathwaite falls two balls later, edging to Shami at short fine while looking to smash the ball down the ground. Kemar Roach arrives at the crease and is facing a free hit after a no-ball by Jadeja off the final delivery, though he ends up missing the ball completely despite a wild swing of the bat. Two runs and a wicket from the over. West Indies need 89 off 60.

OUT! Brathwaite looks to go big over long on, but ends up edging it to Shami at short fine! Wickets falling in a heap for the Windies now! WI 180/7

Brathwaite c Shami b Jadeja 0(3)

After 35 overs,West Indies 179/6 ( Jason Holder (C) 0 , Carlos Brathwaite 0)

Bhuvneshwar returns to the attack in place of Khaleel, and turns the game on its head by dismissing Pooran and Chase in a space of four deliveries! Holder and Brathwaite yet to get off the mark, and suddenly the target looks all the steeper. West Indies need 91 off 66.

OUT! WHAT A CATCH! Outstanding reflexes from the pacer! Chase lobs the ball in the direction of the bowler, and Bhuvi dives to his left, the ball sticking to his left hand like glue. WI 179/6

Chase c and b Bhuvneshwar 18(23)

OUT! Bhuvneshwar returns to the attack, and delivers in his second spell right away! Sees Pooran charging down the pitch and shortens his length a tad, resulting in the batsman lobbing the ball high in the air towards midwicket. Kohli gobbles this up just outside the circle. WI 179/5

Pooran c Kohli b Bhuvneshwar 42(52)

After 34 overs,West Indies 178/4 ( Nicholas Pooran 42 , Roston Chase 17)

Tidy over from Khaleel, with just three singles coming off it. Thankfully for Kohli, no lapses from his fielders in this over. West Indies need 92 off 72.

After 33 overs,West Indies 175/4 ( Nicholas Pooran 41 , Roston Chase 15)

Change from both ends, with Shami replacing Jadeja. Dropped chance for Shami off the second delivery after Chase hits the ball straight back at the bowler, the ball then deflecting off his arm. Iyer attempts a direct hit at the striker’s end off the next ball, only for the ball to run away to the extra cover fence for four overthrows, inducing a deathly stare from his captain. More fielding errors, with the ball running away to the fine leg fence after a fumble by Bhuvneshwar inside the circle. 10 runs off the over. West Indies need 95 off 78.

FOUR! Plenty of fielding errors by the Indians in the middle overs. Pooran pulls a short-of-length ball from Shami towards Bhuvneshwar at short fine, the fielder doing a shoddy job of blocking the ball and allowing it to run all the way to the fence. WI 175/4

After 32 overs,West Indies 165/4 ( Nicholas Pooran 37 , Roston Chase 10)

Pace brought back into play with Khaleel returning in place of Kuldeep. Jadeja pulls off a fine stop at backward point off the last ball to save at least a couple of runs, potentially even a boundary. Three off the over. West Indies need 105 off 84.

After 31 overs,West Indies 162/4 ( Nicholas Pooran 36 , Roston Chase 9)

Second consecutive three-run over from Jadeja. Pooran’s become slightly more cautious since Lewis’ exit, knowing he will likely have to anchor the remainder of the chase, in which West Indies are left with an equation of 108 from 90 balls.

After 30 overs,West Indies 159/4 ( Nicholas Pooran 35 , Roston Chase 7)

Kuldeep bowls out his quota, conceding five singles off his final over to finish with figures of 2/59. Another 111 needed for West Indies to grab the series lead with 96 balls left.

After 29 overs,West Indies 154/4 ( Nicholas Pooran 33 , Roston Chase 4)

Jadeja finally brought into the attack after the arrival of right-handed Roston Chase at the crease. And gets done with his over within the blink of an eye, conceding three singles off it. West Indies need 116 to win from 102 balls.

After 28 overs,West Indies 151/4 ( Nicholas Pooran 32 , Roston Chase 2)

Kuldeep breaks another dangerous-looking partnership, this time removing Lewis, who cuts the ball to Kohli at extra cover. Drinks taken after the dismissal, with Roston Chase finding himself at the striker’s end after the dismissal, and gets off the mark with a single off the first delivery he faces. Four runs and a wicket from the over. West Indies need 119 to win off 108 balls.

OUT! Massive blow for the West Indians, as Evin Lewis holes out to Virat Kohli at extra cover to depart after making 65 in quick time. Cuts the ball hard, and the catch is a wee bit high for Kohli, requiring the Indian skipper to time his jump perfectly to pull off a one-handed catch in the end. Kuldeep strikes for the second time in this innings in his penultimate over. WI 148/4

Lewis c Kuldeep b Kohli 65(80)

After 27 overs,West Indies 147/3 ( Evin Lewis 65 , Nicholas Pooran 30)

Jadhav starts the over with a wide outside off. Lewis then smacks the ball towards the extra cover fence for a boundary off the second delivery to bring up fifty of the partnership with Pooran. Nine off the over, West Indies need another 123 to win from 114 balls.

FOUR! Lewis seems to have forgotten about his calf problems, as his free-flowing shots would suggest. Drives the ball towards the extra cover fence, where the man running in from long off fails to prevent the boundary. Brings up the fifty stand with Pooran with that shot. WI 143/3

After 26 overs,West Indies 138/3 ( Evin Lewis 58 , Nicholas Pooran 29)

Kuldeep looks a touch jaded as he bowls out his eighth over, which adds eight runs to the West Indian total, including a boundary to Lewis off the third delivery. WI need 132 to win from 120 balls.

FOUR! Lewis sweeps past the man stationed at backward square, the ball then running away to the fence for a four. WI 137/3

After 25 overs,West Indies 130/3 ( Evin Lewis 51 , Nicholas Pooran 28)

Tidy over from Jadhav, just a single coming off it. Loud appeal for caught-behind against Lewis off the last ball, which is turned down by umpire Llong. No reviews left for the Indians. West Indies need 140 to win from 126 balls.

After 24 overs,West Indies 129/3 ( Evin Lewis 51 , Nicholas Pooran 27)

Nine off Kuldeep’s seventh over, including a six over midwicket off a loopy full toss from the chinaman spinner. Whatever advantage India had gained after Hetmyer’s dismissal has been nullified by the start Pooran has got so far in the innings, racing away to 27 off 22 balls. West Indies need another 141 to win from 132 balls.

Evin Lewis’ last five ODI scores:

50* (Today), 40*, 58, 0, 70

SIX! Loopy full toss from Kuldeep, and Pooran has no problem smashing this over the midwicket fence for a maximum! WI 126/3

After 23 overs,West Indies 120/3 ( Evin Lewis 50 , Nicholas Pooran 19)

More extras conceded by the Indians with four byes being added to the West Indian total off the second delivery. Lewis brings up his sixth ODI half-century with a single, before Pooran cuts the ball behind point for a boundary off the fourth delivery. 10 off the over. West Indies need another 150 to win from 138 balls.

FOUR! Cut away behind point by Nicholas Pooran off Kedar Jadhav! WI 119/3

Fifty up for Evin Lewis off 66 deliveries — his sixth in ODIs! He has had to deal with a calf injury so far, but what an innings this has been from the opening batsman, anchoring the chase with a responsible knock. WI 115/3

After 22 overs,West Indies 110/3 ( Evin Lewis 49 , Nicholas Pooran 14)

Pooran gets an inside edge off the first delivery, the ball nearly hitting the leg stump, ultimately allowing the batsman one run. Single collected off each of the next three deliveries. Pooran ends the over with a well-timed sweep towards the backward square-leg fence. Eight off the over. West Indies need another 160 to win from 144 balls.

FOUR! Swept hard by Pooran, guiding the ball behind square towards the leg side! Fielder runs in from square leg, but is unable to prevent the boundary. WI 110/3

After 21 overs,West Indies 102/3 ( Evin Lewis 47 , Nicholas Pooran 8)

Pooran collects his first boundary, while also bringing up the West Indies 100, with a well-timed drive through extra cover off the third delivery of Jadhav’s second over. Pooran then collects a single off the last delivery to keep the strike. West Indies need another 168 to win from 150 balls.

FOUR! Crunched through the cover region for a boundary — the first of Nicholas Pooran’s innings! Also brings up the hundred for the West Indies. WI 101/3

After 20 overs,West Indies 97/3 ( Evin Lewis 47 , Nicholas Pooran 3)

Kuldeep’s starting to put some more revs on the ball and extracting more bounce and turn, looking more confident after the dismissal of Hetmyer. Gives away just one off this over. West Indies need another 173 to win from 156 balls.

Kuldeep Yadav has now taken 20 wickets against West Indies in ODIs – the most for him against an opponent in ODIs, going past his 19 wickets against Australia.

After 19 overs,West Indies 96/3 ( Evin Lewis 47 , Nicholas Pooran 2)

Kedar Jadhav brought into the attack in the 19th over, conceding four singles to start his spell off. Nicholas Pooran walks out to bat alongside Lewis, who is three shy of his half-century at the end of the over.

After 18 overs,West Indies 92/3 ( Evin Lewis 45 , )

Kuldeep makes a nice comeback after a forgettable previous, getting rid of Hetmyer off the last delivery while giving away just three singles off it. The pair was starting to look menacing for the visitors, but the dismissal has just pegged their progress back, especially with Lewis’ physical discomfort growing with each passing over.

OUT! Kuldeep gets the breakthrough just when the partnership was starting to look threatening. Hetmyer’s left disappointed with his choice of shot, getting a thick leading edge off a flatter delivery from Kuldeep that results in a simple catch for Kohli at extra cover. WI 92/3

Hetmyer c Kohli b Kuldeep 18(20)

After 17 overs,West Indies 89/2 ( Evin Lewis 43 , Shimron Hetmyer 17)

Hetmyer carves the ball behind point off the second delivery for a boundary. He then lobs the ball towards mid one, where a fumble by Khaleel allows Hetmyer to come back for a second. Kohli’s particularly unhappy with Khaleel’s choice of end for his throw, and makes his displeasure known with a loud “OYE?” Kohli’s frustration grows with four leg-byes coming off the penultimate delivery. 10 off the over.

FOUR! Carved behind point by Hetmyer, collecting his second boundary with ease! WI 83/2

After 16 overs,West Indies 79/2 ( Evin Lewis 43 , Shimron Hetmyer 11)

Kuldeep continues to leak runs aplenty, with 10 runs coming off his third over, including a well-timed crunch through extra cover by Hetmyer off the penultimate delivery that helps him collect his first boundary.

FOUR! Creamed through the cover region by Hetmyer! Was a loopy delivery from Kuldeep, and the southpaw had enough time to get down on one knee and smack this from the meat of his bat. WI 78/2

Kuldeep Yadav has taken two-plus wickets in each six of nine ODIs in which he bowled against West Indies before today.

After 15 overs,West Indies 69/2 ( Evin Lewis 41 , Shimron Hetmyer 4)

Shami replaces Khaleel. Lewis moves into the 40s with a well-timed pull towards the midwicket fence for a four, but is limping around right after the shot, a worrying sight for the Windies camp given how well he is batting at the moment.

FOUR! Pulled away with confidence towards the midwicket fence, but not a good sight for the Windies after the boundary with Evin Lewis limping around. WI 69/2

After 14 overs,West Indies 64/2 ( Evin Lewis 37 , Shimron Hetmyer 3)

Kuldeep continues from the other end. Good over for the Windies, with eight coming off it, including a boundary to Lewis off the first ball.

Shimron Hetmyer’s scores against India in ODIs:

First two innings : 200 runs
Next four innings : 77 runs

FOUR! Swept away behind square leg by Lewis off Kuldeep. WI 60/2

After 13 overs,West Indies 56/2 ( Evin Lewis 31 , Shimron Hetmyer 1)

Khaleel strikes off the second delivery, getting rid of Hope with a short-pitched delivery which the batsman ends up dragging onto timber to depart for 5. Shimron Hetmyer walks out to the crease and gets off the mark with a single. Appeal for caught-behind against Hetmyer off the penultimate delivery, the Indians opting to review it. Rain makes it’s way to the Queen’s Park Oval for a second time today! Players and the umpires run off for shelter even as the TV umpire goes through the review, which ultimately is in the batsman’s favour. Players return to the ground a little over 30 minutes later, with Khaleel conceding a wide before ending the over with a dot.

Play to resume at 4 pm local time, as per the official word. Additionally, the target has been revised to 270 from 46 overs.

Another passing shower it was. Covers starting to come off at the Queen’s Park Oval now as the rains subside. Umpires Nigel Llong and Gregory Brathwaite were out at the centre a while ago, and should call for resumption of play shortly.

Well, here we go again! Not something any cricket fan would want to see!

Not again!

Rain has stopped play with West Indies 55/2 after 12.5 overs. #WIvIND pic.twitter.com/27utk6udxM

— ICC (@ICC) August 11, 2019

Rain makes its way back to the Queen’s Park Oval in Port of Spain!

The players and match officials run towards the pavilion as the downpour starts getting heavier — all while the TV umpire’s in the middle of reviewing the umpire’s decision of not adjudging Hetmyer caught-behind, which ultimately is in favour of the batsman.

BOWLED EM! Hope chops on to his stumps to depart for 5, as Khaleel strikes! Short from the left-arm pacer, Hope was looking to cut this through point, but didn’t quite get himself in position to execute his choice of shot properly. WI 52/2

Hope b Khaleel 5(10)

After 12 overs,West Indies 52/1 ( Evin Lewis 30 , Shai Hope (W) 5)

Spin brought into play in the 12th over, with Kuldeep Yadav getting quite a bit of turn right away. Just three from it, with the Windies breaching the 50-run mark in this over.

After 11 overs,West Indies 49/1 ( Evin Lewis 29 , Shai Hope (W) 3)

Tidy over from Khaleel, with just three singles coming off it. Lewis has somewhat been single-handedly steering the innings so far, batting on 29 at the end of the over.

Shai Hope’s batting average in ODIs:

Home – 36.33
Away – 61.77
Neutral – 47.62

After 10 overs,West Indies 46/1 ( Evin Lewis 28 , Shai Hope (W) 1)

Lewis drives the ball square through the off side off the first delivery to add to his boundaries column. Bhuvneshwar strikes two balls later, trapping Chris Gayle lbw. Gayle tries reviewing, and ends up wasting it after getting three reds on Hawk-Eye. His dismissal brings Shai Hope to the crease, getting off the mark right away with a single.

OUT! Chris Gayle’s innings doesn’t last long, getting trapped plumb lbw off Bhuvneshwar’s bowling and wasting a review along the way. His disappointing run in the series continues, although he did end up surpassing Brian Lara’s record at the latter’s home ground. WI 45/1

Gayle lbw Bhuvneshwar 11(24)

FOUR! Lovely square drive by Lewis, the ball racing away to the boundary unhindered! WI 44/0

After 9 overs,West Indies 40/0 ( Chris Gayle 11 , Evin Lewis 23)

Khaleel continues from the Media Centre End. Gayle collects one of the most important singles of his career in the over, guiding the ball towards third man off the first delivery to become the leading ODI run-getter for West Indies, breaking Brian Lara’s record at the latter’s home ground. Gayle then collects his first boundary of the innings with a well-timed cut through cover point off the penultimate delivery of the over.

FOUR! Cut hard through cover point by Chris Gayle, collecting his first boundary of the day. WI 40/0

After 8 overs,West Indies 34/0 ( Chris Gayle 6 , Evin Lewis 22)

Change of ends for Bhuvneshwar, bowling from the Brian Lara Pavilion End. Speaking of Brian Lara, Chris Gayle draws level with him in terms of total ODI runs with a single off the first delivery. Lewis collects a boundary off the last ball, punishing a loose delivery going down leg by guiding it towards fine leg.

Chris Gayle is now the highest scorer for West Indies in ODIs, going past Brian Lara’s record of 10,348 runs.

FOUR! Swivelled away towards the fine leg fence for a boundary — the third of Lewis’ innings so far. WI 34/0

After 7 overs,West Indies 29/0 ( Chris Gayle 5 , Evin Lewis 18)

Khaleel’s brought into the attack in the seventh over, with Kohli making the first bowling change of the innings. Five off the over, including a boundary to Lewis off an edge that carries through the gap between keeper and slip.

FOUR! Edged, and through the gap between the keeper and slip for a four! Streaky boundary for Evin Lewis there. WI 29/0

After 6 overs,West Indies 24/0 ( Chris Gayle 4 , Evin Lewis 14)

Lewis collects the first four of the innings, slashing the ball hard behind point to send the ball racing away to the fence. Dot off each of the remaining deliveries of Shami’s third over.

FOUR! Slashed hard behind point by Lewis off Shami, the ball racing away to the fence for four. WI 24/0

After 5 overs,West Indies 20/0 ( Chris Gayle 4 , Evin Lewis 10)

Lewis collects a single at the start of the over. Five wides conceded by Bhuvneshwar off the third delivery while attempting a knuckle ball down the leg side to Gayle, the awkward bounce causing Pant to miss the ball completely. Dot off each of the remaining deliveries of the over.

After 4 overs,West Indies 14/0 ( Chris Gayle 4 , Evin Lewis 9)

Tidy over from Shami, conceding just two off his second over, with Gayle collecting a brace at the start of the over. Has been a calculated start from the two explosive openers so far.

After 3 overs,West Indies 12/0 ( Chris Gayle 2 , Evin Lewis 9)

Seven off Bhuvi’s second over, including a six to Lewis off the third delivery, pulled away towards the square-leg fence.

SIX! Length ball from Bhuvneshwar, and Lewis pulls this towards the square leg fence for the first maximum of the innings! WI 12/0

After 2 overs,West Indies 5/0 ( Chris Gayle 1 , Evin Lewis 3)

Mohammed Shami steams in from the other end. Concedes a wide off the second delivery. Lewis then slashes the ball through the off side, coming back for a second run after Jadeja gives the ball a spirited chase to prevent a boundary. Three off the over.

After 1 over,West Indies 2/0 ( Chris Gayle 1 , Evin Lewis 1)

Gayle and Lewis begin on a sedate note, in stark contrast to their usual approach, both collecting a single each to get off the mark. Positive start for Bhuvneshwar.

Right then. We’re back with the chase, with Chris Gayle and Evin Lewis walking out to the centre. Bhuvneshwar Kumar has the ball in hand at the start of the innings. Gayle, who’s making his 300th ODI appearance today, is on strike.

Gayle and Lewis might walk out a little more confidently though

280 to win for WI. Easily 25 short since VK and Iyer were going great. But a par score and unless Hetmyer or Gayle go mad, should be defended.

India today:

1-10 overs : 55/1 
11-20 overs : 39/1
21-30 overs : 49/1
31-40 overs : 69/0
41-50 overs : 67/4

After 50 overs,India 279/7 ( Ravindra Jadeja 16 , Mohammed Shami 3)

Well, no boundaries in the last over to finish off India’s innings as they register a total of 279-7, despite seven runs coming off it. Brathwaite conceded yet another wide, as he bowled that one outside off. Jadeja, though, managed to take a couple of runs after he flicked it in front of the square leg. 

Virat Kohli and Shreyas Iyer stole the show for India, while the rest of the team failed to make much of an impact. 

For the West Indies, it was Roston Chase and Carlos Brathwaite who impressed with the ball. 

Join us for the chase in a few minutes!

After 49 overs,India 272/7 ( Ravindra Jadeja 13 , Mohammed Shami 1)

Another brilliant over from Cottrell, barring the wide he has conceded. Five runs off it, with Jadeja scoring a couple towards long-off in the last ball.

After 48 overs,India 267/7 ( Ravindra Jadeja 10 , Mohammed Shami 0)

Bhuvneshwar has been dismissed by Brathwaite after a costly mistake, but Jadeja followed it up with a timely boundary. Eight runs and a wicket in the over.

FOUR! Jadeja slogs this one over deep mid-wicket, what a powerful shot, just falling short of a six.

WICKET! Bhuvneshwar Kumar finds Roach at deep-cover after a mistimed shot proves costly. Third wicket for Brathwaite. Bhuvneshwar c Roach b Brathwaite 1

After 47 overs,India 259/6 ( Ravindra Jadeja 3 , Bhuvneshwar Kumar 0)

India have suffered another blow after just losing Kedar Jadhav, who has been run-out. Jadhav was slow to making his way back to safety, and paid the price for it. Bhuvneshwar Kumar is the new batsman. Seven runs off Cottrell’s over.

WICKET! Jadhav is miles away from from the line as he is run-out by Evin Lewis. He was looking good, but was slow in reacting and paid the price for it. Kedar Jadhav run out (Lewis) 16

FOUR! What a shot! Jadhav pulls this one past square leg umpire after picking up the slower ball from Cottrell.

After 46 overs,India 252/5 ( Kedar Jadhav 11 , Ravindra Jadeja 1)

An excellent over from Holder, who finally gets a wicket after dismissing Shreyas Iyer. Ravindra Jadeja is the new batsman, with just two runs off it.

WICKET! Holder bowls this one right at the leg stump as Shreyas Iyer departs after a fantastic knock. Shreyas Iyer b Holder 71

After 45 overs,India 250/4 ( Shreyas Iyer 71 , Kedar Jadhav 10)

Shreyas Iyer has just slammed a six over long-on, which is in fact the lone highlight of the over. A total of nine runs come from Roach’s over.

SIX! Shreyas Iyer hammers this over long-on. A fast and a powerful shot from Iyer this one, and he is looking in great touch.

After 44 overs,India 241/4 ( Shreyas Iyer 63 , Kedar Jadhav 9)

Shreyas and Jadhav have become cautious in their approach, and are scoring in singles. Five runs off Holder’s over as India approach the 250-run mark.

After 43 overs,India 236/4 ( Shreyas Iyer 60 , Kedar Jadhav 7)

Kedar Jadhav has opened the over with a boundary. It was a back of a length ball from Cottrell which powered past Cottrell at deep square leg. And then came a brief spell of rain, after which the over was completed. Nine runs off the over.

The match has resumed with Shreyas Iyer facing Sheldon Cottrell, who will complete the 43rd over

GOOD NEWS! The covers are coming off. So, just like we anticipated, it was just a short delay, and play is expected to resume soon.

OH NO! Rain has stopped play in Trinidad and players and umpires are making their way back to the pavilion. However, it does not seem like a heavy shower and the spectators look like they are still hopeful of a resumption soon.

If India don’t bat again then West Indies’ target will be 277 runs from 42 overs.

FOUR!  A back of a length ball from Cottrell as Shreyas Iyer takes advantage of the short ball and flicks it past deep square leg.

Highest individual scores for captains in ODIs in WI:

120 – Virat Kohli v WI, Port of Spain, 2019*

116 – Brian Lara v SL, Bridgetown, 2003

After 42 overs,India 228/4 ( Shreyas Iyer 58 , Kedar Jadhav 1)

Brathwaite has finally got the wicket of Kohli who departs for 120 runs. A brilliant over for Windies with just three from it. Kedar Jadhav is the new batsman in.

After 27 overs,India 124/3 ( Virat Kohli (C) 64 , Shreyas Iyer 13)

This is some brilliant display from the Windies bowlers. Kohli slightly taps the first ball towards square -leg, and is desperate for a single, but Shreyas Iyer says otherwise.

After 26 overs,India 119/3 ( Virat Kohli (C) 62 , Shreyas Iyer 10)

Shreyas Iyer batting at No.5 in ODIs before today:

18 v South Africa, Johannesburg, 2018
30 v South Africa, Port Elizabeth, 2018

Can Iyer make the most of the opportunity today?

Opportunity for Shreyas Iyer to show he should be batting at No 4. I still believe that, where he stands now, Pant is best served being no 5 or even no 6. Will take the responsibility of building an innings away from him. It is an area that he seems to be work-in-progress in

After 3 overs,India 15/1 ( Rohit Sharma 1 , Virat Kohli (C) 11)
