West Indies enjoyed a good start to the game, dismissing Rohit Sharma in the fourth over•Associated Press

He could have been dismissed for 44 - deceived by debutant Obed McCoy's slower ball - if only the West Indies captain Jason Holder had completed a tough catch running backwards at mid-on•Associated Press

Ambati Rayudu also chipped in with 73, batting smoothly at No. 4, a position India have had trouble filling •AFP

But dealing with Kuldeep Yadav was problematic, He struck twice in two overs•Associated Press

West Indies were 221 for 3 and Hetmyer was on 94 off 63 balls - within reach of the second-fastest century by a West Indian in ODIs - when India finally got lucky as a top-edged pull off Yuzvendra Chahal fell in the hands of Kohli at short cover •Associated Press

But that only gave Virat Kohli more time to do his thing. •AFP

That didn't happen so this did: Kohli became the quickest man to 10,000 ODI runs. He completed 1000 runs in 2018 in 11 innings. He averages over 140 this year. And he finished unbeaten on 157•Associated Press

India amassed 321 for 6 on a slow, turning pitch•Associated Press

Shai Hope played so lovely shots on the way to his half-century •Associated Press

Hope kept going, bringing up his second ODI century, and ensuring that West Indies were on track to pull off only their second chase of a 300-plus score •Associated Press
