5.22pm From 42 for 3, India will take 265. And given how West Indies' batting has been so far in the series, it will appear to be a winning total. However, you never write off West Indies.
The bright spots for India were Shreyas Iyer, Rishabh Pant, Washington Sundar and Deepak Chahar. For West Indies, Alzarri Joseph and Jason Holder the pick of the bowlers, although Hayden Walsh and Odean Smith took some crucial wickets.
If India win today, it will be thanks to the 110-run stand between Iyer (80) and Pant (56). They helped India recover after the top 3 added just 23 runs together. After that Washington held up one end, allowing Chahar to flourish when he was the clear aggressor in their 53-run seventh-wicket partnership. West Indies will be mighty disappointed with their lack of discipline - 18 wides, 18 extra runs and lots of more runs off the extra deliveries.
Iyer: "Wasn't easy to bat. When I walked in, ball was seaming and swinging. Dhawan and I decided we will play close to our body and punish only the 1-2 loose balls. They were also not sticking to one line so we had an advantage. 50 overs is a long time, so you need to give yourself some time early on and cover up later. It was two-paced obviously but there was some extra bounce. The cuts that I usually hit, I was missing them today. We've got to bowl really well to defend this. If the situation demands and skipper thinks I need to do a few overs, I am up for it and have the confidence. To be honest, I played a very bad shot when I got out. I had 15 overs left. Something to think on. Had a brief chat with coaches and team-mates. Something to learn from there."
