    Manny Singh:, external India either bowl well and bat poor or bat well and bowl poor. Need to get the right balance.

    Matthew Allatt:, external Ireland, my adoptive country, could do with India knocking these runs off quickly. Possible 3-way tie for 3rd.

  2. Ind 87-4 (Raina 6, Dhoni)published at 12:14 Greenwich Mean Time 6 March 2015

    Russell gifts India five wides with the shortest of short ball that clears batsman, keeper, the lot before skipping away to the boundary. West Indies do not have enough on the board to afford such errors. It allows Dhoni to see off the rest of the over without taking any risks.

  3. Ind 78-4published at 12:08 Greenwich Mean Time 6 March 2015

    In comes captain MS Dhoni. Jason Holder provided a superb captain's innings for his side to give them a fighting chance in this game. Dhoni is going to have to do likewise here to steer his side out of trouble.

    From Steve in Leicester: 1983 World Cup Final, but in reverse?

    As we mentioned during the break, the 1983 final saw India set West Indies a modest 184 for victory, but recover to bowl them out for 140.

    "It's game on here. West Indies have fought their way back. The four best batsman are out - if the West Indies can get one of these two on a bouncy wicket, they're into a long India tail."

    What drama. After smashing a four over mid-off, Rahane prods at a decent length ball from Roach and nicks to Ramdin. The finger goes straight up but a definitive decision is delayed by an Indian review. The tiniest sliver of an extended bar on Snicko suggests the smallest of touches from the bat, giving the third umpire no reason to dispute his on-field colleague and the wicket stands. This game is all to play for now.

    "All the bowlers are getting movement now. We've had a balmy day and now it's cooled off, it's the perfect time to be bowling."

  8. Ind 70-3 (Raina 2, Rahane 10)published at 11:58 Greenwich Mean Time 6 March 2015

    India are not as assured now as they were a few overs ago. Russell keeps it short and draws two flashing cuts from Raina that just narrowly miss nicking the ball. After Raina gets off strike with a prod down to third man, Russell continues his assault on Rahane with a very short ball that is called wide and another that Rahane pushes safely to off.

    Kishin Mahtani:, external Game on, Kohli gone.....can the West Indies do the miracle of the WACA?

  11. Ind 68-3 (Raina 1, Rahane 10)published at 11:54 Greenwich Mean Time 6 March 2015

    Suresh Raina replaces Kohli at the crease. It is Rahane on strike, though, and his bat receives a terminal blow as a Roach delivery destroys the bottom of his bat. The new blade is quickly off the mark with a flick off the pads. Roach continues with a solid line outside off that keeps the Indian pair largely in check.

    We're going to have drink's break, giving us chance to bring you a bit of helmet-related news. Our man at the World Cup Stephan Shemilt has been interviewing Ireland's John Mooney about the helmet he has designed in the wake of the death of Australia batsman Phillip Hughes. "It definitely adds a lot more protection and it will stop guys getting hurt," says Mooney of the 'Gorget' helmet he has been wearing at the tournament. "It's there for the ball that creeps around the side or back of the neck."

    "They would have expected a bit more out of Kohli. He'd been playing well, playing some attacking shots. But the speed has been there from Andre Russell - there is life in this West Indian side."

  15. WICKETpublished at 11:45 Greenwich Mean Time 6 March 2015

    Well, well, well. This makes things interesting. Kohli looked in fine form and set to steer India to victory but, after Rahane hammers his first boundary with a pull past point, Kohli tries to do the same and plants the ball straight down the throat of Marlon Samuels.

  16. Ind 56-2published at 11:40 Greenwich Mean Time 6 March 2015

    Rahane is tempted to fish at a very wide ball from Roach. He misses and lets out a breath of relief. Kohli comes down the track, no doubt to advise his partner that he doesn't need to pay any attention to such deliveries. Nothing worse than throwing your wicket away to a pie. Rahane sharpens up, but he is unable to get Roach away and we have our first maiden of the innings.

    "West Indies have lost the edge now that Taylor has left the bowling crease, but they're still getting good movement."

  18. Ind 56-2 (Target 183)published at 11:36 Greenwich Mean Time 6 March 2015

    On comes Andre Russell to replace the impressive Taylor, who takes a well-earned rest. The Indian pair work the ball around superbly and run even better to claim five runs, with Russell helping them out with a bonus wide.

  19. Ind 50-2 (Rahane 1, Kohli 30)published at 11:31 Greenwich Mean Time 6 March 2015

    Roach has found a rhythm now. He poses questions to Rahane with four successive balls outside off stump, which the batsman patiently ignores before turning one to leg to finally get off the mark and bring up the India 50. It is the only run from the over.

    "Kohli is just batting slightly out of his crease to negate the swing by just getting slightly closer to the ball."
