West Indies getting a squad photo taken, says Sreshth from the ground. He's also seen the light roller being used.

Donald: "Don't have much faith in WI selectors but if they'd like to change my mind Pooran needs to be in the ODI 11 and Test thoughts. Don't punish him for doing his job in T20s and label him a T20 specialist. Learn from what Aus and India have done with Warner and Pant. "

Heesa: "Sanjay Manjrekar got it right. Though India has got good fast bowlers for test matches our one day resources are looking bleak" --- This was the first time that India failed to take a single wicket in the last seven overs of a T20 innings.

Elsewhere, table tennis player Sathiyan Gnanasekaran has just had an excellent run at the Austria Open, causing three massive upsets before finally losing to world No. 2 Xue Xin of China. Here Sathiyan talks about how it felt to face a top-five player for the first time and his constant efforts to strike the right balance between rubber and blade.

8.30pm West Indies would be really happy with 181 for 3. Hope and Hetmyer gave them a brisk start of 51 in 6.1 overs but India struck back with Yuzvendra Chahal. Darren Bravo struggled but Nicholas Pooran's blazing knock helped them post a challenging total on a surface which is expected to slow down further. Don't go away, we would be back with the chase soon.
