FOUR! That's it! Sreesanth goes for the yorker and it's just a touch too full, Sarwan gives himself a bit of room and clobbers the ball through cover for a boundary that seals India's fate!

Full commentary
That is a well-deserved win for West Indies and they take a 2-1 lead in this five-match series! Sarwan, with 115 has easily been the star of the day.
The crowd is going crazy celebrating this win, and why not?
At one stage earlier in the day India were coasting at 211 for 3, but from there they lost it, making only 245 in 50 overs.
After that Sarwan, well supported by Shivnarine Chanderpaul, took the game away
This is Anand Vasu, signing off, thanking you for being with Cricinfo for this game.

Sreesanth to Sarwan, 1 run, OUT
RUN OUT! Can you believe it? A full ball outside the off, driven inside out through cover, Pathan fields on the ropes and throws the ball in. Sarwan calls for the second, then changes his mind and it's a big mix-up! Not over yet apparently ...

Pathan to Sarwan, 1 run
short ball, it sits up a touch and Sarwan dabs the ball down to third-man for a single, that hung in the air for a bit but fell well short of the man at third-man

Pathan to Dwayne Bravo, no run
slower ball, Bravo gets a taste of his own medicine, played at and missed, rapped on the pad, shout for the lbw, turned down, rightly so, that pitched outside leg

Pathan to Dwayne Bravo, 1 wide
down the leg side, that is a bad ball, wide called. That's not what you should be bowling in the death in a tight game
Dwayne Bravo is the new batsman.

Pathan to Chanderpaul, OUT
Pathan goes for the yorker, it's a touch too full, Chanderpaul looks to flick, misses and is hit on the pad, loud shout and it's upheld! Chanderpaul is gone for 58 but it might just be a case of too little too late from India. Just 9 runs needed for victory now.

Sreesanth to Chanderpaul, FOUR runs
full, outside the off, from round the stumps, Chanderpaul flashes at that, the ball goes off a thick outside edge down to the third-man fence! Four crucial runs and surely now West Indies are home!

2
Sreesanth to Sarwan, 2 runs
down the pitch and driven well, the ball goes past the bowler and Robin Uthappa fielding at long-on has to slide to save that
And remarkably the ball has now become too brown to play with. With just over 2 overs to go the ball is being changed yet again.

Sreesanth to Chanderpaul, 1 run
short one banged in, that is a poor delivery, a half-tracker, pulled well, Pathan runs around and fields really well on the roped, saved a certain boundary
