  1. Ind 49-2 (Target 183)published at 11:28 Greenwich Mean Time 6 March 2015

    The West Indies go up again as a Taylor ball slams into Kohli's pad. It looks close but the umpire doesn't think it is hitting and Holder does not have a review to go to. As it turns out, the ball was missing the stumps anyway. If Kohli was affected by that it doesn't show as he goes on to claim successive boundaries courtesy of well-timed angled shots through midwicket. Class.

  2. Ind 41-2 (Kohli 22, Rahane 0)published at 11:22 Greenwich Mean Time 6 March 2015

    As Ebony suggested, the West Indies turn to Kemar Roach, who bowls quickly and errs initially with a wide down leg before drawing a swing and a miss from Kohli with a ball outside off. Two balls later, another swing and miss from Kohli draws big appeals from the field but a shake of the head from the umpire. Kohli has a few nervous moments as Holder opts to review but Snicko offers nothing and the not out decision stands. Kohli celebrates by whipping a couple through leg - the first for a boundary, the second to pick up a further three runs.

    "Denesh Ramdin now has 23 World Cup dismissals, the most by a West Indies keeper, passing Ridley Jacobs' 22."

  4. Ind 31-2 (Target 183)published at 11:15 Greenwich Mean Time 6 March 2015

    Taylor is in full flight now. Kohli has to dig out a nasty away swinging yorker before then missing another full delivery outside off. Kohli hits back, though, with a superb on-drive down the ground for four, followed by a push to leg to claim another two runs.

    "I think the West Indies are missing a trick here - I'd be tempted to give Kemar Roach a bowl. Holder is just down on pace and if you've got Roach in your team, with that extra pace, you want a burst as soon as possible."

  6. Ind 25-2 (Kohli 8, Rahane 0)published at 11:11 Greenwich Mean Time 6 March 2015

    Kohli is the target for West Indies now. Get him and they are well in this game. Unfortunately for them he looks in good nick, which he emphasizes by hammering a full delivery from Holder through cover for four. The West Indies captain responds well, though, conceding just one more run in the over. New man Ajinkya Rahane is yet to get off the mark.

    "It's excellent bowling from Taylor - he keeps probing that off-stump line, forcing the batsmen to drive, and Rohit went at it with hard hands."

    Now we have a game on. It is Taylor again with the breakthrough as Rohit plays at a ball just outside off that leaves him slightly and catches the edge before being claimed by keeper Ramdin. Curtly is on his feet now. And rightly so. They started that over with a couple of mis-fields, but they have ended it in the best way possible, courtesy of Taylor's 11th wicket of the tournament.

  10. Ind 17-1published at 11:01 Greenwich Mean Time 6 March 2015

    India look to consolidate after the loss of Dhawan. Their cause is helped by a superb shot from Rohit to drive a slightly over-pitched delivery from Holder through wide mid-off for four. It is Holder's only real lose ball of the over but that is the price against such top-class players.

  11. Ind 12-1 (Kohli 1, Rohit 2)published at 10:57 Greenwich Mean Time 6 March 2015

    Virat Kohli has had a good tournament to date. 107 against Pakistan, 46 against South Africa and 33 not out against the UAE prior to this game. He gets off the mark with a flick to long leg.

    "I think the West Indies might have a little fightback here. But here comes Virat Kohli, who is probably in the best two or three batsmen around the world."

  13. WICKETpublished at 10:52 Greenwich Mean Time 6 March 2015

    Here we go, the West Indies are up and running! Taylor draws a tentative prod from Dhawan with a shortish ball outside off that catches the edge and flies into the grateful grasp of Darren Sammy at second slip. That'll lift Holder's boys. Even Curtly is clapping.

  14. Ind 11-0published at 10:52 Greenwich Mean Time 6 March 2015

    Another economical over from Holder goes for three well-taken Indian singles. Holder looks frustrated at his fielders, who are not quick enough out of the blocks to prevent the runs.

    "You want to try and make the most of the early movement by trying to entice the batsman to play a forceful shot through the covers. But all the shots that Dhawan has played so far have been through point."

  16. Ind 8-0 (Target 183)published at 10:47 Greenwich Mean Time 6 March 2015

    India have made a very patient start, resisting the urge to have a swing at some tempting deliveries. But when Taylor departs from his tighter line the left-handed Dhawan capitalises with a drive through the covers off the back foot for the first boundary of the innings. The batsman then slashes at a short wide ball that goes aerial but falls safe to add another run.

  17. Ind 3-0 (Dhawan 2, Rohit 1)published at 10:43 Greenwich Mean Time 6 March 2015

    Holder led from the front with the bat and he is doing the same with the ball. The lofty skipper charges in and regularly finds a decent length and a bit of movement to nip the ball away. Rohit can be a bit vulnerable to back-of-a-length balls outside off but he judges well and sees the over off after a single from Dhawan from the first ball.

  18. Ind 2-0published at 10:38 Greenwich Mean Time 6 March 2015

    Jerome Taylor starts for the West Indies and starts well with a pacey ball just short of a length that Rohit leaves before the batsman gets off the mark with a well-taken single. Rotating the strike is an impressive feature of the India game now - one that they have clearly worked on. Dhawan claims a single himself with a prod down to third man.

    Curtly Ambrose has just been laying down the law to the West Indies team down on the boundary. They are going to need all the fire they can muster here. The India openers Rohit Sharma and Shikhar Dhawan are out. Here we go...
