12.03pm India have reaped the rewards of a six-bowler strategy. Barring Pollard, not one West Indies batsman seemed to have a strategy to combat the bowling. This leaves India with a modest chase. Navdeep Saini with a debut to remember. Got carted for six off his second delivery, but roared back with back-to-back wickets. In the middle overs, Krunal and Jadeja rushed through their overs to leave West Indies gasping. This should be a walk in the park for India even though the surface isn't the best for stroke-making. When we're back for the chase, Varun will be back to guide you through the powerplay.
As we tuck into a break, Peter is back with a weather update: "Forecast rapidly changing as ever in Fort Lauderdale. Ugly looking grey storm cell wall is approaching from the west with some lightning strikes way out in the distance. If it gets close enough for strikes to trigger the lightning detection system, we could have an enforced delay here even without rain. Ground staff is doing regular pitch maintenance at the moment in between innings though and no sign of covers being put on just yet."
Meanwhile, in the world of swimming, India's struggles begin right from the road to qualification for the Olympics. But 18-year-old backstroke swimmer Srihari Nataraj, one of the brightest Indian talents in the pool, knows how he can get there.
Pollard will have to wait for his first T20I fifty since 2012.

Shwetha: "This is one reason why you need 6 bowling option and not 5. Virat's theory of 5 bowlers in limited overs cricket isn't a good strategy and hopefully he won't go back to that after this match."

Ash: "How fast is Saini bowling?" -- No speed gun but I'd say easily over 140

Our man Peter Della Penna has some encouraging news on the weather front. "Some clouds but mostly clear at the ground right now. Updated forecast is that rain won't come until 2:30, if it comes at all. So doesn't look like West Indies will get out of jail."
