    21.5 beautifully bowled. Down the track and the drift does Lewis in. He wants to drive this straighter, over mid-on, but it drifts into him, forces him to hit it squarer, and midwicket takes a good catch diving forward. The ball got too close to Lewis to let him free his arms fully 80/2
    17.2 holes out to sweeper cover. Pandya gets Kohli wickets. This is good length, outside off stump. Hope was visibly antsy, trying to open up and get quick runs. Makes him run down the pitch, that pressure, and slash away from the body. It's a leading edge that goes high into the off side and is taken easily 57/1
    34.6 cross-seam ball, back of a length outside off. Hope looks to open his bat face and steer it down to third man, but the ball straightens just a touch, with just a hint of extra bounce, and Dhoni falls to his right to pouch the nick 136/4
    31.2 whoa, that's a replay of his third-ODI dismissal! Googly, tossed up beautifully outside leg. Chase gets his feet out of the way to try and whip into the leg side, misses completely since he was playing for the stock ball, and the ball turns past his outside edge and clips the top of middle stump. Ball then ricochets and hits Dhoni's helmet grille 121/3
    41.2 a straightforward one at backward point this time. Short and wide, and honestly, an average delivery. In the slot for the cut, but the mind doesn't always back you up at this level. Tentative in his approach and he hits it straight to Jadeja 162/7
    38.1 caught down the leg side and it's given. A back of a length ball, angled down leg side. Not a particularly fast ball either. Just an unlucky dismissal as he tries to tickle this fine 154/5
    40.5 good catch. Only Jadeja can make running backwards look so simple. This is back of a length and climbing in he corridor. He swipes across the line to try and pick the midwicket boundary but it's a leading edge that lobs up and swerves awkwardly as cover, backward point and sweeper cover all show interest. Jadeja's call is the loudest and they let him be. Adjusts his steps to perfection, shimmies slightly to his left after running back and holds on 161/6
    47.2 top edge, helmet grille, diving fast bowler and Nurse is done. Length ball hurries him as he stays put in the crease and looks to whip across the line. Hits the back of the bat, smashes the grille and lobs up to Umesh's right. He dives across the pitch and gets his third 179/8
    48.4 too easy for Jadeja. Good length at off stump, opens the face and hits it straight to point. He would've struggled on the best of days, but today he hesitated before the run as well. Jadeja knows this. Gathers the ball, balances himself, hops two steps and takes down the middle stump at the non-strikers end 184/9

    30.5 Rahane has gone for a sweep, missed it entirely and it looks like he's been given out caught behind. Yes. He has reviewed straight away. There's a minuscule spike on Snicko as the ball passes the bottom of the bat. Earlier inspection shows the ball had hit his hip before the keeper took it...and he's given out because of the spike. This was a regulation legspinner, going away from off stump. Rahane stretched out for the sweep and evidence suggests the ball has kissed the toe end of the bat before hitting his hip 101/4
    2.1 gone, soft dismissal. That's full on leg stump, and Dhawan looks to flick but fails to keep it down and lobs up a simple catch to wide mid-on 10/1
    5.6 for the second match in a row, Holder has dismissed Kohli after troubling him with the short ball. Good bouncer, just outside off, similar to the one that he missed a few balls ago. This time he gets a top-edge that goes straight up, three storeys up, and Shai Hope takes a few steps forward and wraps his gloves around it 25/2
    12.4 another good, short ball. Another wicket. The shoulder-high bouncer outside off, and Karthik is late on it. The ball hits high on the bat, the outside half near the sticker, and loops up to the right of the keeper 47/3
    48.6 full outside off, too full for Dhoni to get the elevation he wants, and he's hit it straight to long-on. Cleared his front leg, swung hard, and hit it flat and too close to Joseph, who moved a couple of steps to his right to take a waist-high catch 176/8
    35.4 gone, bat-pad! That was a slightly lazy defensive shot from Jadhav, barely a stride forward to a well-flighted ball outside off. A bit of dip, some extra bounce, and the inside-edge hits pad and lobs up into the short-leg region. The keeper moves quickly to his left, dives, and grabs it with one glove 116/5
    45.1 bowled him! That is terrific. Pandya premeditated - I think fine leg was inside the circle - and shuffled across his stumps. Holder replied with a yorker that took out leg stump 159/6
    47.3 slower ball, full, on off stump. India needed 17 off 16. A drive to long-on for one? Nope. Jadeja goes for the big slog, clears his front leg, goes hard, but there's no pace on the ball and he picks out the fielder at long-on 173/7

    49.1 bowled him! Off-stump yorker and Umesh slogs all around it. They check for no-ball but Holder's foot is totally fine. This is his fourth wicket. 4 for 25 in 9.1 overs. 176/9
    49.4 five-for! Holder's won it for West Indies! A full-toss on off stump, not the greatest ball he's bowled, but why would he care? Makes himself room, Shami, looks to hit over extra-cover, but can't clear the fielder. Side-on replays show it's just below waist-high, and that's when he's taken a stride forward 178/10
