  1. WinViz has it 56-44 in India's favour against West IndiesBBC Sport/CricViz

    WinViz has swung back in India's favour...

  2. Ind 121-3

    Need 75 runs in 42 balls

    Momentum is firmly back with India! 17 runs from the over.

    Sanju Samson is unbeaten on 63 (36) and Tilak Varma has 14 (9), with all but two of his runs coming via boundaries.

  3. Ind 121-3

    It's three fours in a row! Sherfane Rutherford - where was your long barrier?

    He loses his footing in the dew and slides beyond the ball, which rolls cruelly over the rope.

  4. Annesha Ghosh
    Kolkata journalist

    Flamboyance written all over that shot. Postcard perfect stroke.

    Limited feet movement from Tilak Varma, just effortless on the eye.

  5. Ind 117-3

    Well, there's the second boundary of the over, Tilak Varma driving uppishly for four. It bounces just in front of the rope.

    And boundary number three, Varma cutting through point. Lovely shot - he planted his left foot and gave it everything.

  6. Ind 108-3

    Sanju Samson hammers Shamar Joseph down the ground for four. That's India's first boundary since the 10th over. It's warmly received by the Eden Gardens crowd. But you feel they need more than one boundary an over at this point.

  7. Ind 104-3

    Need 92 runs in 48 balls

    Just three singles from Roston Chase's opening over.

    How many runs will India be happy chasing in the final five overs?

    In the past couple of days we've seen some batting chaos at the death - Rehan Ahmed and Will Jacks chased 43 off 18 with three balls to spare for England against New Zealand, Dasun Shanaka gave Pakistan a scare, Jason Holder and Rovman Powell in this game...

  8. Ind 102-3

    Roston Chase comes into the attack and starts with a single and two dots. Silence has descended on Eden Gardens. The wicket of Suryakumar Yadav has changed everything.

  9. Ind 101-3

    Need 95 runs in 54 balls

    Tilak Varma brings up India's 100 with a single, getting off the mark at the first opportunity.

    Two dots and a single finish an excellent over from Shamar Joseph, who loses his run-up a couple of times to really drag the 11th out.

    Sanju Samson will be on strike for the 12th.

  10. Annesha Ghosh
    Kolkata journalist

    Those catches are never easy. Sherfane Rutherford timed his dive to perfection and held onto the ball well.

    West Indies will heave a sigh of relief.

  11. wicket

    WICKET

    Suryakumar c Rutherford b Joseph 18 (Ind 99-3)

    A very well-judged take from Sherfane Rutherford, diving to take a low catch at deep point.

    A frustrated Suryakumar Yadav departs for 18 (16), failing to take advantage of being dropped in the previous over.

    Shamar Joseph has a wicket with his second ball. Out walks Tilak Varma to join Sanju Samson.

  12. Ind 98-2

    Samson 54 (28), Suryakumar 18 (15)

    After 10 overs, India are 98-2. They need a further 98 off 60 balls.

    Momentum is firmly with the home side, led by Sanju Samson, who is flying on 54 (28). He hasn't given West Indies a sniff.

    It's advantage India heading into the second half of the second innings.

  13. 50 runs

    50 for Sanju Samson

    Ind 97-2

    Sanju Samson accepts the roar of the crowd and waves to the India bench after bringing up his half-century with a vicious four through point.

    53 off 26 for the opener, including six fours and three sixes.

  14. Annesha Ghosh
    Kolkata journalist

    India dropped their fair share of chances. But as a spinner, Gudakesh Motie would have been expected to take that catch.

  15. dropped catch

    Dropped catch - Suryakumar on 17

    Ind 92-2

    Suryakumar Yadav strikes the ball straight back to Gudakesh Motie but the bowler can't hold on. It was powerfully hit but he got two hands to it.

  16. WinViz has it 52-48 in West Indies' favour against IndiaBBC Sport/CricViz

    WinViz is closing in...

  17. Ind 91-2

    Target 196

    Sanju Samson's six is followed by a misfield in the deep, the ball sliding beyond the fielder and away to the rope. Back-to-back boundaries for India.

    Samson slashes and misses at a delivery which moves off the surface. West Indies' caught behind appeals are short-lived.

    He retains the strike with a single.

  18. Annesha Ghosh
    Kolkata journalist

    A stroke of authority from Sanju Samson. He sent that smoking.

    The momentum is shifting once again.

  19. 6 runs

    Ind 86-2

    India scored 25 runs off the past two overs and the scoredboard is continuing to turn over with speed.

    Sanju Samson and Suryakumar Yadav exchange singles before the former blasts new bowler Romario Shepherd high over extra cover for six.

  20. Ind 78-2

    Target 196

    Sanju Samson welcomes Gudakesh Motie into the attack with a boundary, hammering a short, wide delivery through mid-off.

    Suryakumar Yadav finishes the eighth over in similar fashion, sweeping beyond a diving fielder for four.

    There are three singles in between. Another productive over for the hosts.
