    "The last time India failed to chase a target of 183 or less was on 1 July 1998 against SL at Colombo-SSC when they lost chasing 172 to win.

    "The last time West Indies defended a target of 183 or less (in a full 50 over game) was v Zim at Perth on Feb 2001 when they defended 179."

    "Game well and truly on now. Another wicket that has gone to the bouncer. That's pretty dumb batting from Jadeja. He had just been given a stern warning by Dhoni not to chase wide ones."

    Just as India looked to be edging the Windies out of this game, they let their opponents back in. Dhoni will not be happy. He gave Jadeja a little pep talk about not chasing deliveries, but he does just that with a pull that he top-edges high to Samuels at deep square-leg. The fielder juggled with it, just to keep things interesting, before taking it at the third attempt.

    "India have managed to ride some of those wickets that were taken earlier. Windies are still wanting it - they are setting aggressive fields - but if they'd scored 20 or 30 more they could have made it a lot tougher for the Indians."

    A well-timed tweet there from Aashish as Taylor does indeed return to the Windies attack. He starts well by nipping one away to beat the swinging blade of Jadeja. Four singles follow as India look to calmly ease their way towards the target.

    Aashish:, external Have to wonder why Taylor's not bowling - wickets are what's going to win the WIndies the game.

  7. Ind 127-5 (Target 183)published at 12:52 Greenwich Mean Time 6 March 2015

    Russell returns as Holder looks to shake things up again. It doesn't work, though, as Jadeja rocks back to a short one and pulls it over the Windies captain at mid-on for four after Dhoni had handed him strike with a leg bye.

  8. Ind 122-5 (Dhoni 13, Jadeja 6)published at 12:48 Greenwich Mean Time 6 March 2015

    They could win this in singles, but they won't have to if Smith continues bowling wide, full dross like the first ball of his third over. Jadeja gives it the treatment it deserves by smashing it through cover for four. Jadeja is happy to settle for that from the over.

  9. Ind 118-5published at 12:45 Greenwich Mean Time 6 March 2015

    Sensible stuff from Dhoni. He punches one off the back foot to claim two runs and then plants a subsequent ball near his own feet to claim a quick single. Jadeja follows suit with a checked pull to leg for another run. It might not make for the most exciting conclusion to this game, but India will happily get these runs in singles.

  11. Ind 114-5 (Dhoni 10, Jadeja 1)published at 12:41 Greenwich Mean Time 6 March 2015

    Smith made a big (and unexpected) contribution in his first over and his second is another solid effort that contains a wide but also a couple of balls that dart across the left-handed Jadeja and beat his attempted drive.

  12. Ind 113-5 (Target 183)published at 12:37 Greenwich Mean Time 6 March 2015

    Holder remains in the attack and spoils a good first three balls with a short one that Dhoni top-edges from a pull over Ramdin and down to the boundary for four. In the battle between captains, India's comes out on top this time.

    "Holder is predictable in his unpredictability. India wouldn't have expected Smith to come on. It has created more excitement in this game."

  14. WICKETpublished at 12:30 Greenwich Mean Time 6 March 2015

    There was a general sense of bafflement as Holder turned to the gentle medium pace of Dwayne Smith at the Lillee-Marsh End. It proves to be a masterstroke, though, as Raina top-edges from a slash at a shortish ball and Ramdin takes the catch. It is yet another twist. Ravindra Jadeja joins Dhoni at the crease with this game back in the balance again.

    "That disappoints me because they changed Sammy for Roach for that ball. You should really have your best fielder there. Roach was too far back. Sammy would have taken that crotch-high."

  17. Ind 103-4 (Dhoni 3, Raina 21)published at 12:26 Greenwich Mean Time 6 March 2015

    Holder is back into the West indies attack and keeps it short, which almost brings his side another wicket courtesy of a Raina pull that falls just short of Roach at short mid-wicket. Agonizingly close for the Windies, who bring 100 up with a tame Raina hook that helps the ball down to the fine-leg boundary.

  18. Ind 97-4published at 12:21 Greenwich Mean Time 6 March 2015

    This is the crucial part of the innings now. India are looking to be more aggressive and if they can keep these two at the crease for 10 overs they will take this game away from West Indies. Between them, Raina and Dhoni add another four runs to the total.

    Ihtisham Hussain:, external You can never rule out the West Indies and Pakistan in a game of cricket. Both are unpredictable.

  20. Ind 93-4 (Target 183)published at 12:17 Greenwich Mean Time 6 March 2015

    Raina has not been in the best of form but he stamps his authority on Roach by punching one through extra cover for three before hammering one past the bowler and down to the long-on boundary for four. It takes the runs required down to 90.
