Hello and a warm welcome to the fourth one-day international between West Indies and India. This is Sriram Veera, and along with my friend Sajan Nair, will bring you the live coverage today. West Indies have won the toss and will have a bowl first. There are some cracks in the pitch which might widen as the game progresses. So it's an interesting decision to bowl first, maybe they want to put India, a team which has favoured to chase in the recent times, under pressure. India are faced with a must-win situation as they enter the Lara country for the crucial fourth match of the series. The good news for them is that Yuvraj Singh is fit and will replace Venugopal Rao. West Indies have won two matches in a row and will be thirsting to wrap the series today. They have made three changes - Wavell Hinds, Dwayne Smith and Corey Collymore are in for Runako Morton, Chanderpaul and Jerome Taylor.

0.1

Edwards to Sehwag, 1 run, starts off with a low swinging full-toss. It starts around the leg and middle, waist high and swings in, Sehwag waits and pushes it past the bowler, to the left of mid-on

Two slips in place for Sehwag

0.1

0.3

Edwards to Dravid, 1 run, nice delivery - it pitched around the middle and off stump line, full in length, and moved towardss the off stump, Dravid comes forward and places it in the extra cover region and they scramble through for a single

0.4

Edwards to Sehwag, 1 run, short of length, rising towards the hips, tucked away behind square leg.

a short square-leg is in place for Sehwag, for that swivel-shot he plays against short pitched stuff

0.5

Edwards to Dravid, no run, full and on the off stump line, Dravid comes forward to push it back down the track

0.6

Edwards to Dravid, no run, another good delivery, just about that off stump line, Dravid ends up playing ahead of his body and steers it point

1.2

Bradshaw to Sehwag, no run, ooh! full and wide outside the off stump and Sehwag attempts a square drive of his front foot, misses

1.3

Bradshaw to Sehwag, FOUR, Ah! full and wide again, and this time Sehwag throws the kitchen sink at it and ball flies off the outside edge over the slips!

1.4

Bradshaw to Sehwag, no run, hmm... pushed across again and Sehwag, despite moving his left foot across, fails to reach to the pitch of the ball and still has a go at it, doesn't connect and baugh collects it

1.5

Bradshaw to Sehwag, no run, Sehwag doesn't flirt this time! outside off again but Sehwag covers his off stump and allows it go to Baugh, the keeper.

1.6

Bradshaw to Sehwag, no run, on a length, around the off stump, steered to gully

2.1

Edwards to Dravid, no run, oh ho! huge appeal for lbw. Full and it pitched around the middle stump line and Dravid gets his left across and has to end up playing around it a bit and the ball sneaks past his bat and his his pads but maybe, its going down the leg. Hawk eye might have shown it scrapping the leg stump... hmm...

2.5

Edwards to Dravid, no run, Dravid is again beaten by the late movement! It pitched on a length, around the off stump and shapes away late and Dravid wants to play it on the up - maybe not a pitch for those kind of strokes, and gets a leading edge but the ball falls short of covers

Thanks Sriram, West Indies have started off well here after Lara elected to bowl first, Edwards tied down the openers with sheer pace and Bradshaw as usual, started the party with the priced wicket of Sehwag and then he followed it up with the wicket of Raina, So far India have only managed to score 29 runs in 10 overs and as they say - the pressure is on!

I am Sajan Nair and I will take you through the next hour of play - The stadium is packed to the brim and the atmosphere is electric, already there is a sense of euphoria attached to this game, fasten you seat belts, the ride has just begun!

26.4

Samuels to Yuvraj Singh, FOUR, Take that! short, wide and bounces right about the perfect height for Yuvraj to have a go. He moves to the leg side and swats it through extra cover

26.5

Samuels to Yuvraj Singh, 2 runs

26.6

Samuels to Yuvraj Singh, 1 run, driven out to long-off and Yuvraj will keep the strike

27.1

Edwards to Yuvraj Singh, no run, oh! beaten outside the off stump! It was full in length, and just outside the off stump and it kept low which surprised Yuvraj. He had shaped to drive it on the up and ends up with a waft outside the line

28.2

Smith to Yuvraj Singh, no run, overpitched outside the off stump and yuvraj smashes it straight to Lara at covers. A foot either to left or to the right of Lara would have fetched Yuvraj a boundary but ...

28.3

Smith to Yuvraj Singh, 1 run, full again and Yuvraj comes forward and drives it to the left of mid-on

28.4

29.2

29.3

Edwards to Kaif, 1 run, ooh! almost a run-out! Kaif pushes a short of length delivery to the on side and Lara moves in quickly from midwicket and hurls in a throw and it just bounces inches over the stump.

29.4

Edwards to Yuvraj Singh, 1 run

29.5

Edwards to Kaif, no run, on a length, and around the off and middle stump line, Kaif pushes forward, bat and pad together and punches it on the up to mid-off

29.6

Edwards to Kaif, no run, slightly slower and a yorker length delivery, Kaif works it to Lara but this time they decide against taking a run.

Thanks Sriram, so far the bowlers have kept up the pressure with some tight bowling, runs have been hard to come by but Yuvraj and Kaif have added 70 runs for the fourth wicket and they are fighting it out in the middle.

Drinks called for.

At this rate India will surely fall short of the 200 run mark, 6 an over from here on will take them to 239, it's not the perfect batting track but with wickets in hand, scoring 6 an over should not be a problem.

Yuvraj Singh c †Baugh b Edwards 52 (78b 5x4 0x6) SR: 66.66

Thanks Sajan, this is Sriram Veera, your commentator for the next hour. After the initial setbacks India tried to rally through Mohammad Kaif and Yuvraj Singh but Fidel Edwards prised out Yuvraj to put West Indies ahead again. Mahendra Singh Dhoni will have to showcase some of his unorthodox hitting prowess if India are to get a fighting target. But then to judge what would be a fighting target on this pitch, that is offering invariable bounce, is not an easy task. But surely, it has to be something in the range of 220? Time will tell.

40.1

Samuels to Kaif, 1 run, on the off stump line, pushed to left of covers

40.2

Samuels to Dhoni, no run, on the off stump line, again turning in slightly, pushed back down the track

Samuels to Kaif, 1 run, pushed to right of midwicket

42.6

43.2

43.4

Gayle to Dhoni, no run, on the leg and middle, punched to Lara at midwicket

43.5

The last five overs to go! Should be fun! Collymore will have a bowl now. Six overs previously to this and he gave away 24 runs and picked up a wicket. Long-on and long-off are out.

45.1

45.5

Collymore to Dhoni, 1 run, fascinating stuff, A yorker again and Dhoni, ever eager to come forward to have a go, only manages to squeeze it past cover

45.6

Collymore to Kaif, 1 run, hmm.. Kaif has had enough of digging out yorkers, moves to his left and has a heave, gets a inside edge and it runs behind square-leg

46.1

Bravo to Kaif, 2 runs, Aha! lovely slower ball! just outside the off stump and Kaif waits to steer it to deep cover and they come back for two and make in time to beat the fine throw from Samuels.

46.2

Bravo to Kaif, 2 runs, Ah! a clever chip shot! Kaif moves outside the off stump and plays a pick-up paddle shot over square-leg

46.3

Bravo to Kaif, OUT, Gone! got him! Another Bravo special! A slow full-length delivery! Kaif is completely beaten and the ball squeezes past his waft to disturb the furniture. Yuvraj Singh can understand Kaif's pain... A similar delivery had got him in that exciting second match.

M Kaif b Bravo 62 (84b 5x4 0x6) SR: 73.80

46.4

Bravo to Pathan, no run, full and pushed across the left-handed batsman, pushed out to covers

Collymore to Pathan, 1 run, on the off and middle stump line, steered to third man. Dhoni on strike now

47.2

47.4

Collymore to Dhoni, 1 run, Ah! Dhoni attempts to paddle a full delivery past the fine-leg, hits it left of short fineleg fielder and they take a run

Collymore to Pathan, 1 run, driven powerfully to long-on.

47.6

Collymore to Dhoni, FOUR, wah! thrashed down the ground! driveable length delivery, outside the off stump, and Dhoni throws his hand at it and the ball screams to right of long-off fielder who had no chance.

48.1

Bravo to Pathan, FOUR, bang! slower ball that went awry, ending up as a full toss, on the leg and Pathan swung it across to the deep midwicket fence

What will Bravo do now?

48.2

Bravo to Pathan, OUT, He gets his man! another slower one, just outside the off stump and Pathan shuffles across and tries to paddle it past the short fine leg fielder, who had been moved in just prior to this ball, but sends the ball straight to the waiting palms of Colleymore there!

IK Pathan c Collymore b Bravo 8 (7b 1x4 0x6) SR: 114.28

48.5

48.6

Bravo to Agarkar, OUT, Oh dear! Bravo gets another wicket courtesy his famous slower ball! Released between his thumb and the forefinger and it loops in the air towards the off and middle stump and even as Agarkar's high back lift descends, the ball dips, grips the surface, turns in past the blade to take out the leg stump!

AB Agarkar b Bravo 0 (4b 0x4 0x6) SR: 0.00

So the last over coming up now! India on 206 and will look to Dhoni to pull off some lusty blows that will push them to a fighting target. Lara will obviously want to restrict India.

49.1

Collymore to Dhoni, FOUR, Clever little paddle sweep for four! full and drifting just outside the legstump, Dhonis shuffles across and tickles it past short fine-leg

The fine-leg is back near the ropes now.

49.2

Collymore to Dhoni, FOUR, And Dhoni this time picks the off side boundary! Fascinating stuff! he shuffles outside the leg stump and slices it over point! That powerful bottom hand again!

49.3

Collymore to Dhoni, no run, oh ho! Dhoni wants to sweep the mediumpacer now! Doesn't connect and is rapped on the pads

49.4

Collymore to Dhoni, no run, yorker length delivery on the middle and leg, Dhoni digs it out to midwicket and there was a chance for run but Dhoni decides against it. Wants the strike! Here we go!

49.5

Collymore to Dhoni, 2 runs, finally West Indies wilt under the pressure. Pulled to deepmidwicket and Dhoni turns blindly for the second run, Powar is rooted to his crease but Colleymore fails to stop the throw and Powar runs for the second run! Please scream like Bill Lawry here -- yes yes that famous It's all happening here!

49.6

Collymore to Dhoni, 1 leg bye, Dhoni moves a bit towards his leg stump, Colleymore followed him and Dhoni ends up trying to heave it across the line, doesn't connect and they run through for a leg bye!

So West Indies need 218 runs to win the series. On a pitch, offering invariable bounce and where the spinners have managed to apply the chokehold, it's not as easy a target as it looks. But this is Lara country and he would be hoping that his batsmen can turn in a matchwinning performance. This is Sriram Veera, and along with Sajan Nair, signing off for the moment. Join us for what should be a interesting run chase.
