    4.2 Oh, looked plumb and the finger goes up immediately! But Jewel Andrew has appealed. This is an arm ball on a length outside off, Andrew looks to reverse-sweep but misses the ball and is hit on his right pad around the knee-roll. No bat, and ball-tracking shows the ball crashing into leg stump. Axar gets the breakthrough two balls into his spell and Jewel Andrew's cameo at the top has come to an end 52/1
    8.2 Oh, a wicket against the run of play! And it's a big one too! 137kph length ball on leg and Hetmyer was cramped a bit. Tries to club it away but the bat turns in his hands as the ball strikes it around the toe end and flies back to the bowler. Prince with some good reflexes to hold on in his follow through 110/2
    12.5 And the breakthrough comes through a huge edge on this! Was sooo wide and full, Powell chases this with a drive away from his body. Was just looking to slog this down the ground tbh. And he gets a heavy edge on this back to the keeper, Arshdeep more relieved than happy almost in his celebration with both hands in the air 156/3

    4.1 And that's curtains on the Sanju Samson show. Keemo Paul strikes first ball! Short ball on off angled across, and Samson looks to use the pace to pull it behind square. This time he doesn't quite get under it and it goes to Hetmyer in the deep. Hetmyer takes it above head-height before throwing it up in the air as momentum was taking him back. One foot lands behind the ropes, and he steadies himself before casually walking back in and completing the catch. Samson walks back having ensured India a perfect start in this mammoth chase! 60/1
    11.3 In the slot, in the slot... but somehow Motie has plucked out Abhishek! He was slow in this innings and he's kind of gifted his wicket away here. Swat through the line out to deep extra cover, where a fielder is lying in wait. Bottom half of the bat. He's exchanging words with Motie, he isn't happy, then he walks back 130/4
    4.4 Keemo Paul strikes back immediately! And that's a bit of a soft dismissal for Ishan Kishan! This is a 140kph slot ball on leg, and Kishan can't quite get under it as he looks to flick it away. Ends up hitting it straight to Jewel Andrew at deep midwicket. Paul leaps and punches the air. Two wickets in the over! 67/2
    8.2 Shamar Springer removes the Indian skipper! This is full and quite wide. Iyer looks to go inside out but the bat turns in his hands as he ends up slicing it behind point. Easy pickings for the fielder in the deep. India's tricky chase gets trickier! 97/3
    16.6 In the slot and Tilak has sent this hiiiiiiiigh in the air... Powell pockets this near midwicket. And WI will breathe easier this wicket. Was a slower 'un, taking the ball slightly wider outside off and tempting him into the big wicket. Makes Tilak lose his shape on this a little and the batter pays the price 200/6
    11.4 Superb bowling, slow through the air and he's got some grip off the surface and spun it past Dhir on the front foot! Keeper knocks off his bails and is bullish in his celebrappeal here. Let's see... Umpire taking his time with this decision, so maybe it's not all cut-and-dry. Is his foot properly grounded? No, it isn't! Dhir has to walk back! Good umpiring, took cognizance of all the angles to determine the right call. Dhir throws his head back in disbelief, but probably only at himself for having given it away. Great bowling on a flat pitch 130/5
    18.2 He's not timed it this time though, and Powell has gobbled this up! Was slot-ish outside off, he bashes this across the line but the ball was angled into his pads, cramping him for room on this pull, he can only send it out to deep midwicket 212/7
    18.5 Amazing helicopter shot here... But too subtle, not enough power, on this shot. Was full-ish at Axar's pads, who flicks this towards cow corner, where the fielder barely has to move an inch to gobble this up 213/9
    18.3 West Indies sealing their ascendency here. 98.9 kph, an impeccable slower ball on length and at the stumps. He looks to slog this across the line but the ball rifles right into his stumps, knocks them over... Golden duck for Prince 212/8
    19.3 Bowler follows him, feisty bouncer! Arshdeep backs away once more, Joseph does not aim at the stumps but aims at the batter, ball is too short and too wide and flying down to deep fine leg 223/9
