1.17pm After 14 overs, West Indies were hovering at around six per over, but a late flourish has meant that their score is above-par for this surface. No Rohit Sharma for India today either, so will be interesting to see how India attempt this chase. Deepak Chahar was outstanding for India, and why he did not complete his full quota despite having an economy of one is a question that Kohli may have to answer in the press conference. Credit to Pollard, Powell and the rest for putting West Indies up with a competitive score. We'll be back in around ten minutes for the chase.

gnesh R: "WI hit 11 sixes and only four 4s!!"
RAJ PISHARODY: "Chahar finishes with just 3 overs despite his brilliant first spell.... even a 5 year old knows not to bring Bhuvi at the end cos he can go for plenty!"

Kishan Punjabi: "@Mit Chowdhury. D Chahar is not a good death bowler. And VK is challenging his bowlers that are being hit"

Azweer: "Hoping Rishab Pant bats with some responsibility today.."
