Ravi Bishnoi: I was a bit nervous, I was excited too but nervous. (on the boundary catch that resulted in a six) I didn't see behind and my leg touched the boundary. (on his bowling) I was looking to keep it stump to stump because they have power and if they can free their arms they can hit the ball well. There is some dew, and I think the pitch will get better for batting with the dew.

8.59pm: A tame end to West Indies innings, with a great last over by Harshal. They've got only 157 on board, which seems like a below-par total. If dew is around, it'll make it doubly difficult. India's bowlers were quite terrific. Their changes of pace kept the West Indies big-hitters guessing, spinners and pacers alike. A debut to remember for Bishnoi. Nicholas Pooran played a well-paced innings, shrugging off the period he was bogged down at the start of his innings to open out well later. That no batter apart from Pooran had a strike rate above 130 tells the story of how well India's bowlers kept them guessing. Bishnoi's 2 for 17 the best figures, but Chahal bowled equally well - he had a potential catch turned into a six, and another mis-field making what should have been 1 run into four runs. India should fancy themselves to chase this down, but West Indies at least have something to bowl at.

Patel to Smith, OUT, well caught by Rohit running to his right at mid-on. Well disguised pace-off ball from Harshal and Odean was looking to loft it straight, gets it off the toe end. Rohit runs backwards and catches it over his right shoulder with arms parallel to ground, extremely well done because Suryakumar was also running in from long-off.

Patel to Smith, 2 runs, slower ball yorker on off, didn't read it, has to adjust and flick it through square leg. Ball not being timed allows them to sprint two. Was standing deep in his crease for that

Patel to Smith, 1 wide, this time the line is too wide outside off and he'll have to rebowl it. Odean was looking to launch that into orbit with how hard he went at it, but didn't connect. Too far from the bat

Patel to Pollard, 1 run, full and wide, well clear of off again, Harshal nailing the line perfectly here so far. Pollard can only drag it to long-off, who is very straight

Patel to Smith, 1 run, yorker on off stump, Odean making room and drills it straight back. Kohli is quick on the straight boundary and cuts it off smoothly

Patel to Pollard, 1 run, full and well wide of off stump, Pollard slaps it from the toe-end to long-off
