8.50pmThe chase will start soon. Hemant Brar will be your man for the second innings.

8.42pm That's an interesting target. With the dew coming in, you might still say slight advantage to the chasing side. India showed good intent at the start, got stuck against spin again with Kohli scoring just 23 off the last 23 balls he faced, but Pant and Iyer broke away from West Indies. Then Shepherd bowled that last over.

Virat Kohli: [Not verbatim] I had decided when I went in to stay positive but then we lost a few wickets. I still wnated to keep going but unfortunate I got out. I was happy with my intent that I wanted to play my shots. Sometimes you play with responsibility over a period of time, you tend to ask if you want to play the big shots early. You don't want to be reckless but at the same time you want to play your shots. That is the balance you strive for. Today I was happy with that balance. The wicket was gripping in the middle so if we are smart with the ball we have got got enough. Special mention to Rishabh and Venky in the end. They have got us those 10 extra runs.

Shepherd to Pant, 1 run, lovely over from Shepherd. Stays true to the wide lines. Pant can't reach it even as he nearly sweeps himself off his feet. Gets an inside edge for a single. No boundary in the final over

Shepherd to Pant, 2 runs, wide yorker, Pant can't reach it, mis-hits this towards long-off, which is just as well as it allows him to come back for the second. That's fifty for Pant

Shepherd to Iyer, OUT, the change-up after those wide yorkers. Bowls the straight yorker this time, Iyer is already shuffling across to access the wide lines. Is surprised by the line and misses this. Off stump goes for a walk
