Jadeja finishes it off. India claim the bonus point. This is full and straight, Roach plays across the line, is hit on the pad, and then on the stumps
West Indies vs India, 4th Match at Port of Spain, Jul 05 2013 - Ball by Ball Commentary
That's all we have from T&T. Join us on Tuesday for the match between West Indies and Sri Lanka
Quotes from the presentation
"We got to give the credit to the Indian batters," says Dwayne Bravo. "Especially Virat. We could have done a lot better with our chase. We have got to regroup for the match against Sri Lanka. We can't afford to make the same mistakes again. We accept our defeat today, but we are still in a strong position, and come Sunday we have to give a better account of ourselves. Coming back after the rain, the conditions helped seam bowling. And they bowled really well."
"More than that, I am happy we won with a bonus point," says Virat Kohli, who is also the Man of the Match. "We got a good start. It's a bit of a tricky situation if you go in after a good start. You don;t know whether to play yourself in or go after the bowlers. To get a hundred in my second game as captain, I am pretty happy. I was getting good starts, but hitting that one shot straight to the fielder, so I was waiting for this big innings."
Except for that ninth-wicket partnership that India should have ended much earlier, this is a perfect game for India. Update on Jadaina situation first: more heated argument between Raina and Jadeja. Jadeja walks away from Raina, but eventually they walk off the field together. Just to remind you, Raina had missed that catch off Jadeja's bowling, and then when Jadeja eventually got the wicket, the two seemed to be arguing
Anyway, it shouldn't take the sheen off a superb performance by India otherwise. Right from the opening stand between Dhawan and Sharma, and the finish by Kohli who brought up his 14th ODI century. With the ball, Bhuvneshwar showed why it was a mistake to drop him in the previous match. And once the rain spiced up the pitch, the Indian seamers were nigh unplayable. India now have five points, which is level with Sri Lanka, but Sri Lanka's NRR is better. West Indies still at the top. Hang on for quotes from the presentation
A heated argument between Jadeja aand Raina during the break. Does it have anything to do with that catch dropped earlier? In comes Tino Best
finally India get a wicket. Finally Narine falls. He makes room, tries to go over cover, but he doesn't have that much space to swing, and finds long-off
pulled away to deep midwicket for one
short of a length, outside off, punched to extra cover
down the wicket to try the big loft, gets an inside edge to short fine leg
short of a length, turning in, defended to leg
This is West Indies' highest ninth-wicket stand at home
short of a lenght, outside off, punched away for a single to point. The bonus-point-avoiding target now comes down to 50
He goes round the stumps now
slower ball again, and Narine is solid in defence
"Forget Ashwin, Can someone tell Umesh to bowl over the wicket ?" Mr J, ha ha
slower ball, he covers the off-stump line and opens the face late to get a single
heaves at a length ball outside off, gets an inside edge onto the pad
another wide. This bouncer is clearly way too high
big wide down the leg side. Well done to Karthik to keep the damage down to just one with a full-length dive
short, Roach moves across to get inside the line, and pulls it fine of fine leg for four more. Now they need 54 to avoid the bonus point
This is Yadav's last over
short, outside off, he flashes, and is beaten
and now Narine rubs it in by jumping down the wicket and lofting him for a six over long-on
Narine is missed this time. He is down the wicket, gets too much under the ball, and lofts it towards long-on. Bhuvneshwar and Raina are both calling for it but neither of them is listening, and at the last moment they both pull out of it. Both have misjudged it
short, turning in, cramps him up. Defended to off
length ball, turning in, defended to leg
short of a length, flat, punched away to deep cover for one
length ball, on off, swept away, over midwicket, gets a flat four
Yogesh: "Can someone tell Ashwin to bowl over the wicket and so he can get better spin asball turns a lot and he can bowl it outside the off."
Meanwhile Jadeja to bowl now
