- BATSMENRB4s6sSR1.2 lovely bit of swing bowling. Deepak Chahar's wicket-taking ways continue. Beautiful line, length and movement. Simmons' feet are rooted in cement and he drives away from the body, gets a nice thick edge that goes comfortably to slip. 13/15.4 got him, beaten on the sweep. Washington tossed it up nicely on off - bravely even, given what had happened earlier - and Lewis was moving across to sweep. Misses and is struck - but that looked like the impact was outside off!. He hasn't reviewed it though. Will that prove costly for West Indies? To be fair, it looked very much in front in real-time. 64/210.1 birthday wicket! Drops this length ball outside off stump, and King gives the ball a chase. Too wide for him as it turns even further away, and Pant swiftly whips the bails off 101/317.1 Rohit makes amends! Drifter, full on middle, and he slog sweeps rather flat. But Rohit, at deep backward square, was positioned there for that exact shot. Hetmyer out after posting his highest T20I total 172/417.3 leg stump dislodged!The googly does the trick. Full on middle, forcing the batsman to come forward, but it slides through the inside-half of the bat before clipping the leg stump.

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR3.2 picks out the man at deep midwicket! That was superbly played by Rohit, coming down the track and taking it on the half volley, flicking it with great timing. But the placement was awry, and he sends it straight down Hetmyer's throat. 30/113.3 long off makes no mistake! Overpitched outside off, and he toe-ends a lofted shot instead. Pollard takes a couple of steps forward from long off and takes a very simple catch. Pierre strikes again 130/216.2 holes out at long off. Slower ball, full outside off, and mistimed because he's through the shot too early. Cottrell gives the salute to the crowd to celebrate 178/317.6 takes a stunner! And then celebrates like a boss. Good length outside off, and Iyer flat-bats a shot back to the bowler's left. But he dives on the followthrough and stretches both hands out before taking a spectacular catch. Folds his arms and then points to the skies above. A rare failure for Iyer 193/4Extras23 (b 4, lb 2, nb 3, w 14)TOTAL209/4 (18.4 Overs, RR: 11.19)Fall of wickets: 1-30 (Rohit Sharma, 3.2 ov), 2-130 (KL Rahul, 13.3 ov), 3-178 (Rishabh Pant, 16.2 ov), 4-193 (Shreyas Iyer, 17.6 ov)
