"Sometimes I get off to a flyer, sometimes Brandon does," Kyle Mayers says explaining who among the two takes on the aggressor's role. "So it is up to us to communicate. The wicket is much slower than yesterday, and they used the wicket well. Ashwin is a master of his craft, so you have to be careful to not give him wickets. This is a competitive total. As I said, the wicket is getting slower, so I back our bowlers to defend this."

A good final over by Arshdeep to keep West Indies to 164 for 5. An innings where Hardik Pandya and R Ashwin used the extra bounce in the middle overs to stifle West Indies. Two run-a-ball 20s from Brandon King and Nicholas Pooran hurt the West Indies innings, but the 50-ball 73 from Kyle Mayers kept West Indies going. In the end, Rovman Powell and Shimron Hetmyer provided some quick runs, but this might still be on the lighter side because the boundaries are not particularly big at Warner Park. Sreshth will be back with you shortly to bring the chase

Jason Holder to face the last ball

Arshdeep Singh to Hetmyer, 1 run, OUT, slower short ball, Hetmyer gets a top edge that falls short of long leg, and he wants to steal the second to keep the strike. The throw is spot on, and he is caught well short

SO Hetmyer run out 20 (22m 12b 0x4 2x6) SR: 166.66

Arshdeep Singh to Hetmyer, no run, sharp bouncer, following him as he looks to hook it, is beaten head high, and India appeal. They go for a review after it is given not-out. More because there are two left, less because of any conviction. Replays confirm it
19.3
W
Arshdeep Singh to Powell, OUT, that shovel is out on work again but this time he can't strike gold. Just gets too under this. There is only so much you can do when the bowler is getting the yorker right. He stays deep in the crease, but doesn't get much behind this. Lofts this up and is caught on the advertising patch behind the bowler

R Powell c Hooda b Arshdeep Singh 23 (30m 14b 2x4 1x6) SR: 164.28

Arshdeep Singh to Powell, FOUR, this is even better. Arshdeep is not doing much wrong here. He has missed the wide yorker only by a little, and Powell gets on a knee and shovels it over cover. A bit of a helicopter shot to beat long-off to his left

Arshdeep Singh to Powell, FOUR, superb shot. Arsh misses the line on the yorker, just sliding it down leg from round the wicket, and Powell gets inside the line to use his pace and beat short fine. Just a short-arm shovel

Arshdeep to bowl the last over

Avesh Khan to Hetmyer, SIX, misses the length on the wide yorker, and Hetmyer smashes it for a flat six over long-on. Avesh bowled the first four balls perfectly, but has traveled off the last two

Expect straight lines to Powell because his boundary riders are on the leg side

Avesh Khan to Hetmyer, 1 run, and Avesh stays wide enough to make him go into the off side. Just the single to long-off
