12.06pm Its cloudy out there as the innings comes to a close. West Indies add 53-1 in the last five overs, helping them recover after Pooran and King fell in the same over. Rovman Powell backed his strength and made India pay whenever he saw an opportunity. The required run-rate is eight per over for India in the chase in this must-win coneest.

West Indies had a good base set after the openers put on a half-century stand. Charles was sluggish and Pooran looked dangerous. But it was Powell who deserves all the credit for this West Indies total. When Kuldeep finished his spell, it looked like WI had lost steam, but the captain had other plans.

We'll be back soon with the chase.

Mukesh Kumar to Powell, SIX, full toss around leg. Powell gets low and manages to connect with it well enough! Pumped over deep midwicket. Powell predicts the yorker and got in position for that. The full toss was just the icing he wanted

Mukesh Kumar to Powell, 1 run, full ball wider outside off. Powell goes for an expansive slap, but it takes a bottom edge. Samson moves to the leg side and does very well to stop the ball from going for four

"If we give 100% in other games, against Pakistan we give 200%." India vs Pakistan is always special, and the hockey version at the Asians Champions Trophy has plenty of spice. With the backdrop of an incendiary contest from 2014 still fresh in the memory, the two teams aim to give it their all - despite the disparity in their current world rankings.

Mukesh Kumar to Hetmyer, OUT, and a wicket in his first ball! He waited 17 full overs before his first delivery, and starts off with a length ball outside off. Hetmyer attempted the glory shot over long off but he slices it. Tilak on the boundary line does the rest
