11.2 to SV Samson, stumped! Samson looks to accelerate, but ends up giving his wicket away. He skipped down the wicket early, even as Hosein bowled on a short of a length around off. Samson seemed to have made a bit of room too, and the turning ball, which went further away from him, had him in trouble. He missed, ended up well short of the crease, and Pooran did the rest. 76/4 15.5 to NT Tilak Varma, now taken at fine leg! Wicket at a crucial stage for West Indies. Tilak runs out of luck, as McCoy pouches it safely now. He goes low and tumbles forward to complete the grab. Hosein bowled short, banging it into the pitch by landing around middle and off. There was a bit of turn in, and Tilak was deep in the crease in trying to pull, but the longer boundary played its part there. 114/5 See all photos
Alzarri Joseph	4	0	28	2	7.00	12	1	2	1	0
2.5 to Shubman Gill, taken at deep third! It was a leading edge which flew all the way to the fielder in the deep. This ball was on a length from Joseph, as he went around middle and off. Gill looked to flick across the line, but seemed to have closed the face of the bat too early. There was good pace on the ball, and it landed bang where Hetmyer was placed. 16/1 17.6 to HH Pandya, yorker lands bang on target! That was absolutely on the base of off stump, exactly where it was aimed for. Pandya looked to guide that towards potentially deep third, and even went low with a slightly open face of the bat. But he was beaten by the inswing on that ball as much as by the sheer pace, and was cleaned up. 129/6 See all photos

9.3 to Ishan Kishan, hits the top of off! Shepherd pulled his length back there, even bowling from wide of the crease. It was bowled on a slightly back of a length on off, and went on straight after pitching. Kishan looked to push hard at it, with the face of his bat barely opening up too. He missed though, and has to depart after a slowish innings. 60/3 19.1 to AR Patel, top-edged to Pooran! Shepherd bangs it in on the shorter side of a length on off, with the ball holding its line. Axar swings his bat for a pull shot, but ends up paying it early. The ball ends up rising quite high, before Pooran took a few steps across to his right to take it. 139/7 See all photos

0.1 to BA King, Gone first ball! India celebrate and that is a stunner from Suryakumar Yadav. He cannot believe what he has pulled off and has his mouth in a 'o'! Hardik bowls it full and gets it to swing away outside off, enticing the drive. King gets a nice stride and creams the cover drive only for it to be intercepted by SKY diving low to his right. West Indies one down for a blob. 0/1 0.4 to J Charles, Straight to cover-point. Hardik has two in the opening over and Charles departs. Full and outside off, swinging further away. Charles goes for the drive and reaches out due to the away movement and hits it straight to Tilak for a simple catch. Excellent start for India. 2/2 9.5 to R Powell, Straight to deep third! My word, Hardik wouldn't have imagined this, would he? Outside off on a length, Powell is back and slashes hard it it. Gets a thickish outside edge that flies towards deep third where Mukesh takes a few steps to his left and takes it reverse-cupped. 89/4 See all photos
Arshdeep Singh	4	0	34	1	8.50	7	2	2	0	0
3.4 to KR Mayers, Huge appeal for lbw, the finger is raised again! And now Mayers opts for the review. Arshdeep angles it in on middle and leg on a length. Mayers is beaten on the inside edge as he looks to defend. Sliding down? Clipping the stumps! Narrow margins and Mayers is out of here. Arsh has his hands aloft as soon as the Hawk-Eye is shown. 32/3 See all photos
Mukesh Kumar	3.5	0	35	1	9.13	8	3	2	0	0
13.6 to N Pooran, Taken on the second attempt but is it a bit too late? On a length outside off, Pooran looks to smack it over cover-point but hits it straight to the fielder there. The ball bounces back off Samson, who takes it on second go. Pooran trudges off, will India be able to build on this opening?. 126/5 See all photos

Yuzvendra Chahal	3	0	19	2	6.33	7	0	1	1	0
15.4 to JO Holder, Stumped! Holder's huge frame means he overbalances and that is enough for Kishan to do the rest. Tossed up around off again, he looks to drive it through mid-off but is beaten on the outside edge due to the turn. Gets a huge stride in the process that makes him drag his back leg out, just enough to be on the line. "There's nothing behind the popping crease," says Gregory Brathwaite the TV umpire. Holder, meanwhile, was in trouble as he went down as soon as it was referred upstairs. The physio walks out to help him out - he has his left pad removed as he trudges back clutching his left knee. 128/7 15.6 to SO Hetmyer, Trapped in front? India are interested and Kishan and Chahal convince Hardik to review that. Tossed up ball outside off on a length, spinning in a good deal. Hetmyer goes back to defend but gets beaten on the inside and is rapped on the pads with the leg stump visible. Three reds and Hettie has to walk back. India now back in to boss the game, West Indies completely losing the plot. 129/8 See all photos
