  1. WI 175-4published at 18 overs

    Jason Holder uses every inch of his huge reach to swat a short slower ball - almost with a tennis style smash - from Jasprit Bumrah through mid-wicket for four.

    A good battle between Bumrah and these two West Indies batters looking to go big.

    Bumrah strays on to the pads of Rovman Powell with his final delivery of the over and the West Indies batter tickles it fine - through the hands of the Varun Chakravarthy at short fine leg - for four.

    Have to say, I can’t see England beating either of these sides.

    Fair to say Jason Holder has got his eye in.

    The West Indies all-rounder muscles Varun Chakravarthy down the ground for four.

    Jason Holder has rebuilt himself into a T20 specialist. That six is testimony to that.

    What a shot.

  5. 6 runs

    WI 159-4published at 16.3 overs

    That has gone into the confectionery stalls and out again.

    An 80-metre heave from Jason Holder off Varun Chakravarthy goes as high as it does far and lands in the stands at Eden Gardens.

  6. WI 149-4published at 16 overs

    Short and wide from Arshdeep Singh and Rovman Powell cuts a four behind point.

    Huge over for West Indies. They have some momentum back.

    A hush descends over Eden Gardens.

  7. WI 145-4published at 15.5 overs

    Oh Rovman Powell, behave.

    Full from Arshdeep Singh and an effortless flick off his legs by Powell for six over deep square.

    Pure timing.

    That is what you don't want as a bowler. You need to bowl fuller to catch the batter on the back foot.

    The worst possible outcome for Arshdeep Singh.

  9. WI 138-4published at 15.4 overs

    A bouncer from Arshdeep Singh which flies over Sanju Samson's head for five wides.

    Next ball Rovman Powell latches on to another short-pitched delivery from Arshdeep and then heaves it over the ropes for six.

    Has Jasprit Bumrah doing Jasprit Bumrah things swung this match India's way?

  11. 6 runs

    WI 125-4published at 15 overs

    The tall and imposing figure of Jason Holder at the crease.

    West Indies need him to use those big levers of his to reignite their innings, but he defends his first four deliveries from Hardik Pandya.

    Holder then effortlessly launches the India all-rounder's final delivery back over his head towards the sightscreen for six.

    Sherfane Rutherford will not be happy with that shot at all. Very disappointing.

    He had so much power but he did not read the extra bounce from the ball. There was not much else he could have done, however.

    Rutherford c Samson b Hardik 14 (WI 119-4)

    Hardik Pandya strikes with the first delivery after drinks!

    A bit of a nothing shot from the left-handed Sherfane Rutherford who hangs his bat out to a delivery which cuts across him and edges it into the gloves of Sanju Samson.

    West Indies are wobbling.

    West Indies have slowed down a bit following a few quick wickets.

    Rovman Powell and Sherfane Rutherford knock Varun Chakravarthy into the gaps.

    Six runs off the over but no boundaries.

    A good decision from the umpire. This is why umpire's call exists, for moments like that.

    The delivery from Varun Chakravarthy was going on with the arm and the ball-tracking technology shows it was slipping down leg.

    Rovman Powell survives.

    Rovman Powell defends and is strick just below the knee roll by Varun Chakravarthy.

    India fancy another look at this.

    That should have been taken. Axar Patel needs to take a few more risks.
