  1. WI 115-7 (Sammy 19, Holder 11)published at 08:58 Greenwich Mean Time 6 March 2015

    Mohit, who has been India's revelation of the tournament so far, returns. Holder, far from the most powerful batsman in this West Indies line-up but a well-organised player nonetheless, clips him to wide long-on for four.

    "If I had played like some of these West Indies batsmen have played I would be running off in embarrassment, as some of them have. They have not approached it with any sort of intelligence."

    What is the West Indies' problem? For me, it's all about the tone set at the top of the order: Gayle and Smith just try to whack every ball, with no thought given to rotating the strike or even - perish the thought - playing yourself in slowly. Looks great when it comes off, but the percentages are heavily against you.

    You could argue that they don't have their strongest team playing, with Narine, Pollard and both Bravos absent, but in my opinion the major issues are ones of attitude not personnel. What do you think?

    Sammy, one man who has shown in the past that he can play with a bit of responsibility, clips two into the long side.

    "West Indies' lowest total against India is 121 at Port-of-Spain in 1997."

  5. WI 105-7 (run rate 3.5)published at 08:48 Greenwich Mean Time 6 March 2015

    Holder and Sammy do what they need to do - knock a few no-risk singles from Yadav's latest over to keep the scoreboard ticking.

    "The only weakness I would have seen in the India team would have been Shami if he could not come back from injury. But he has come back well today and been bang on the money. It is now down to them to maintain what they have out into this tournament so far."

  7. WI 101-7published at 08:44 Greenwich Mean Time 6 March 2015

    Jadeja is through his overs so quickly he doesn't exactly allow the live text commentator time for florid description! Just one from his latest set.

    Malay Nemane:, external Left foot, right foot and a header? Mohit Sharma delivering the perfect fielding hattrick - run out, catch and wicket!

  9. WI 100-7 (Sammy 15, Holder 2)published at 08:42 Greenwich Mean Time 6 March 2015

    Let's not forget, even a modest target of 152 proved a huge challenge for New Zealand against Australia the other day. West Indies can get more than that here if they just rein in their ultra-attacking instincts and bat time. Yadav is recalled and throws in three extras in a wayward start, before Holder steers him for a single.

    "The most important thing in tournament cricket is momentum. What India won't want to do is lose intensity. They have not done that today and they will want to maintain that in their final game ahead of the quarter-finals."

  11. WI 96-7published at 08:38 Greenwich Mean Time 6 March 2015

    Three singles from a rapid over from Jadeja. It seems almost incomprehensible, yet utterly telling, that the callow Holder, just 23, is the captain of this vastly experienced yet ill-disciplined side. What hope has he got of getting the team to play with more responsibility?

    "You just wonder, after rattling off all the famous names from the West Indies past; what would they be thinking watching this?"

  13. WI 93-7 (run rate 3.6)published at 08:35 Greenwich Mean Time 6 March 2015

    Darren Sammy is the former captain and Jason Holder the current one. West Indies are crying out for a pair to come together, get themselves in and bat with a modicum of responsibility, and these two might just be the last hope. Four for Sammy with a slap behind backward point off Ashwin.

  14. WI 88-7published at 08:32 Greenwich Mean Time 6 March 2015

    Skipper Jason Holder is the new man. Boy do West Indies need a captain's knock here.

    "He's not the first batsman to go off the field today just looking so dejected. There's just so much embarrassment more than anything from the West Indian batsmen. They really haven't made a game of this at all. They have been made to look stupid.

    "It could get worse. They might not even be able to take a wicket."

    The West Indies can't help themselves. Moments after watching his partner survive a similarly injudicious shot, Russell goes for a big heave across the line and plops a catch into the reliable hands of Virat Kohli at long-off. It was the first ball of Ravindra Jadeja's spell.

    Ashwin rushes through another tidy over, just a single from Russell to show for it.

    Rob in Cambridge (reluctantly about to take his boys to school): At this rate, even England might be able to give the Windies a run for their money.

  19. Dropped catchpublished at 08:25 Greenwich Mean Time 6 March 2015

    Andre Russell can give the ball a serious whack, and he wastes no time in proving it - second ball, Mohit drops short outside off and Russell clears the front foot and slugs him over the ropes at cow corner. Woof. Russell isn't exactly the ideal man to dig the West Indies out of this hole but it should be fun watching him try.

    Sammy is no shrinking violet either and he almost perishes when he launches a huge mow miles up in the air, but Ravindra Jadeja, who is one of the best fielders in this India side, lets the steepling catch slip through his hands. A let-off.

    "India's plans have been terrific. They have realised on this wicket, with the extra bounce, they are not going to give any drives today. Their accuracy has been terrific. The pace has been there as well from the bowlers."
