  1. Ind 179-4

    Need 17 runs in 11 balls

    Shamar Joseph executes his yorker and Hardik Pandya jabs his bat down before spinning round to figure out where the ball went. Dot.

    West Indies have got to try and break this partnership. Their bowling has not been their best, it has just been inconsistent.

    They have not stuck to a plan so it is difficult for Shai Hope to protect both ends of the wicket.

  3. Ind 179-4

    Need 17 in 12 balls

    Eight from the over. Hardik Pandya takes a single off the final ball to keep the strike.

    Sanju Samson has 87 (48) - will he make it to three figures?

  4. Ind 177-4

    Jason Holder, unlike some of his team-mates, is on point with his yorkers. Just two singles off the first three balls.

    However, he loses his line with his fourth ball and Sanju Samson cuts for four through point.

    Sanju Samson has shown maturity. He has been surgical and had the acute knowledge of where the fielders are.

    He has used deft touch when he needed to - a fantastic knock.

  6. Ind 171-4

    Need 25 runs in 18 balls

    Romario Shepherd litters the 17th over with three wides. Gifts.

    Hardik Pandya, dropped on nine off Shepherd, finishes the over with an inside-out four between cover and mid-off.

    It really is game over, isn't it?

    If I was to put my mortgage on somebody taking that catch it would have been Jason Holder.

    Game, set and match for me now.

    Dropped catch - Hardik on nine

    Ind 161-4

    OH NO.

    Hardik Pandya plinks a routine catch to Jason Holder in the covers. He juggles once, twice, three times and the ball goes down. Holder puts his face in his hands.

    Bowler Romario Shepherd quickly turns away.

    How many dropped catches is that between the two sides - five?

  9. Ind 160-4

    Need 36 runs in 24 balls

    Jason Holder's pep talk worked for three balls, with Shamar Joseph conceding three singles, but then he goes for the wide yorker and Sanju Samson turns the ball around the corner for four.

    14 off the over. India need 36 runs from four overs.

  10. Ind 153-4

    Not good, not good at all. Six runs off the opening two balls of Shamar Joseph's over and then a wide.

    Jason Holder goes to have a word with the bowler.

  11. Michael Carberry
    Former England batter on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    I am not sure about this tactic of going with the pace-on yorker. A big no-no for me with the field that is set.

  12. Ind 150-4

    And there it is. Another boundary conceded by Shamar Joseph, drifting down the leg-side with his yorker. Hardik Pandya turns it away to the rope.

    150 up for India.

  13. Ind 146-4

    Need 50 runs in 30 balls

    Sanju Samson! Perfect placement, firing Jason Holder through point to finish the 15th over with a boundary - his 12th.

    India need 50 runs in 30 balls. Shamar Joseph, whose previous over was a flurry of boundaries, returns.

  14. Michael Carberry
    Former England batter on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    West Indies needed a wicket and here it is. What a grab by Shimron Hetmyer.

    Has that opened a small crack for the West Indies? Can they hold their nerve?

  15. wicket

    WICKET

    Tilak c Hetmyer b Holder 27 (Ind 141-4)

    What a catch that is from Shimron Hetmyer, back-pedalling and taking the ball with two hands beyond his head! Jason Holder breaks the partnership. Hetmyer has his third catch.

    Tilak Varma is out for 27 (15). Here's Hardik Pandya. The big-hitters just keep coming.

    55 off 32 is the equation for India.

  16. Ind 141-3

    My word, Tilak Varma has absolutely creamed that! Too wide from Jason Holder and Varma says 'ta very much', pounding the ball through the covers for four.

  17. Jason Holder returns to bowl the first over after drinks.

    India need 60 runs in 36 balls, chasing 196.

  18. Come on then. One more vote.

    Who's winning this? Thumbs up for India. Thumbs down for West Indies.

  19. Ind 136-3

    Samson 69 (36), Varma 23 (12)

    Good running from Tilak Varma, scrambling back for two off the penultimate delivery of the over.

    And he finishes it with a six down the ground.

    At drinks, India need 60 runs from 36 balls.

    West Indies desperately need a wicket because these two have put on 37 runs in just 22 balls, 32 of which have come in the past two overs.

  20. Ind 125-3

    Another boundary, Sanju Samson finding four through point! That's five in seven balls for India.

    West Indies need to regroup at drinks.
