- BATSMENRB4s6sSR0.2 slapped straight to deep midwicket! My word did the connect on that, but it was flat and it was straight to Krunal. A length ball wide outside off, trying to get him to hit into the off side. But he's used his reach to pummel this slog sweep on the up. But it's joy for India 0/11.6 onto the stumps! Knuckle ball! Bat, pad, off stump. Once again, gets the line and length spot on outside off, in the corridor. And with that variation, he gets the batsman swinging through it too early as well. Again, trying to go leg side. But it's an inside edge and it's all very ugly by the end of it. Not for India though 8/24.4 top edge and taken! And a send off that will get much better as he gets more experience from a very awkward Saini. Short of a length at off stump, wants to cart this through midwicket but it only gets as far as about ten yards behind the stumps. Pant gets under it and holds on at shin height 28/319.3 beaten as he looks to hoick this across the line. No one appealed, except for Rishabh Pant and Kohli goes upstairs. This hit him on the full, flush on the right thigh and replays confirm this would've crashed into the top of off stump. Decision overturned, given out. 95/94.5 bowled him! Saini is on a hat-trick on debut! Short ball just outside off stump. He leaps off the floor and wants to stab this past wide slip for the single. But he's through it early and the ball is off the face of the bat and straight into off stump 28/45.6 nicely taken by Pant diving forward! The previous ball, a bouncer, dipped on him. This, a slower ball, practically needed him to lunge as soon as Powell looked to hammer this. Length and wide and climbing to kiss the outside edge. Pant goes low and forward towards his right and pouches this 33/514.2 excellent catch! Brathwaite plays a flat-batted pull, was travelling but Krunal held on as he moved swiftly to his left. Spongy bounce, I thought, held onto the surface which made manufacturing the shot a bit difficult, in the end he didn't get the power he would've liked. 67/615.1 pulled but a fine catch at the boundary by Khaleel running to his right from deep square. He dropped short, Narine took him on, but didn't get the power he wanted. Khaleel nearly ran in a bit too much but recovered and then held his balance as he back-tracked. 70/718.1 very nicely held by Kohli! India continue to march on. Looking to pull, gets it very high on the bat as this skews to the off side with the bat face turning in his hand. Kohli runs to his right from cover to pouch this 88/8Extras8 (w 8)TOTAL95/9 (20 Overs, RR: 4.75)Fall of wickets: 1-0 (John Campbell, 0.2 ov), 2-8 (Evin Lewis, 1.6 ov), 3-28 (Nicholas Pooran, 4.4 ov), 4-28 (Shimron Hetmyer, 4.5 ov), 5-33 (Rovman Powell, 5.6 ov), 6-67 (Carlos Brathwaite, 14.2 ov), 7-70 (Sunil Narine, 15.1 ov), 8-88 (Keemo Paul, 18.1 ov), 9-95 (Kieron Pollard, 19.3 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR6.3 holes out to long-on. Uncharacteristic shot from Rohit, looking to clear the ropes but didn't quite get underneath the length. This was yorker-length which he tried to belt and didn't get any power behind it, easy catch. 32/21.6 that looks plumb! Out comes the salute. Dhawan with an ungainly hack across the line at a length ball. It strikes him right in front of middle and he won't bother reviewing that 4/113.5 he's top-edged the pull straight to midwicket. Is this an opening for the West Indies? Absolute lack of pace does Kohli in as he looks to pull from way outside off. Perhaps not the best shot but well, the surface can play tricks. The bowler rolled his fingers across the seam, gave Kohli absolutely no pace to work with. He's bitterly disappointed with himself. Match on! 69/56.4 swept straight to deep square! It's a first-baller. What have you done, Rishabh? Fetched it from outside off, playing against the turn, top-edged and good catch 32/311.4 full, straight and gone! Pandey looks to drill this back past but is beaten for pace as the off-stump takes a walk. Ended up yorking himself. 64/415.6 the off-stump is knocked back! It's the late swing that has done the trick. Angles this in full from wide of the crease, Krunal is looking to work it through midwicket but then the ball wickedly moves away off the seam to square him up and hit the top of middle 88/6Extras5 (w 5)TOTAL98/6 (17.2 Overs, RR: 5.65)Fall of wickets: 1-4 (Shikhar Dhawan, 1.6 ov), 2-32 (Rohit Sharma, 6.3 ov), 3-32 (Rishabh Pant, 6.4 ov), 4-64 (Manish Pandey, 11.4 ov), 5-69 (Virat Kohli, 13.5 ov), 6-88 (Krunal Pandya, 15.6 ov)
