  1. In 320-5

    Ravindra Jadeja pummels the first of four balls from Marco Jansen straight down the ground for four.

    A handy 24 off 13 balls from him.

  2. Simon Mann
    BBC Test Match Special commentator

    That's either cramp in the back of his thigh or a hamstring injury.

  3. Ind 316-5

    Lungi Ngidi limps off injured. He'll be unable to complete the over.

    Marco Jansen is asked to bowl the remaining four deliveries of India's innings.

  4. Carlos Brathwaite
    Ex-West Indies all-rounder on BBC Test Match Special

    Tried for the off cutter, but it didn't grip. It slipped nicely into the hitting arc, you always back Jadeja to hit it.

  5. 6 runs

    Ind 316-5

    Lungi Ngidi is heaved into the stands by Ravindra Jadeja, down on one knee, for six.

    A tap on the helmet from Virat Kohli in appreciation of the shot.

    Meanwhile, Ngidi has sat down on the turf clutching the back of his leg. He's grimacing in pain. Can he complete the over?

    How I envy India supporters today. Watching your hero score a century in the World Cup, on his birthday and equalling Tendulkar's ODI record. Life doesn't get much better than that for a cricket fan.

    Virat Kohli peeled off his helmet, kissed his bat, and calmly saluted the crowd after reaching the milestone.

    His 49th ODI century came in 277 innings. Sachin Tendulkar did it in 452.

    It came off 119 balls with 10 fours.

    India fans in the crowd at Eden Gardens had all turned on their torches on their phones, to shine light on the great man.

    To equal the record, on your birthday, at the top of the table. It proves cricket is a game of narratives, and you couldn't get a better story.

  9. Simon Mann
    BBC Test Match Special commentator

    It's been an act of will from Kohli today, it's not been easy. Another milestone for this genius.

  10. 100 runs

    Century for Kohli

    He's done it!

    A superb knock from Virat Kohli, who has brought up his century with a punch into the off side.

    That has seen Kohli draw level with the legendary Sachin Tendulkar on 49 ODI hundreds.

    He has 543 runs in the tournament and will have one eye on breaking Tendulkar's record for most runs at a single World Cup, which stands at 673.

    King Kohli reigns supreme at the moment. A 35th birthday to remember.

  11. Ind 305-5

    Ravindra Jadeja pulls Kagiso Rabada's first ball to the boundary for four.

    Next ball Jadeja punches down the ground for a single, but Virat Kohli turns down the second.

    He is on strike. The crowd are roaring.

  12. Carlos Brathwaite

    I'd rather Jadeja single, Kohli single, get it over with and attack those last 10 deliveries.

  13. Ind 300-5

    Ravindra Jadeja pinches the strike with a single off the final ball of Tabraiz Shamsi's over.

    There's 12 balls left.

  14. Ind 299-5

    A single for Virat Kohli but he does not risk a second.

    He has 99.

  15. Prakash Wakankar
    BBC Test Match Special commentator

    There's shouts of "Kohli, Kohli" around the ground.

  16. Ind 297-5

    Dot ball for Tabraiz Shamsi. Defended by Virat Kohli.

  17. Ind 296-5

    ShamsiReuters

    Tabraiz Shamsi, who has a bit of beef with Virat Kohli according to AB de Villiers who was on commentary earlier, continues.

    The South Africa spinner would dearly love to poop the party.

    Kohli is on strike. He has 97.

  18. Carlos Brathwaite
    Ex-West Indies all-rounder on BBC Test Match Special

    It's happening, it's happening, it's happening! King Kohli, three away from what would be a monumental milestone.

    Kohli might get his 100, but India will be 20-30 runs short of where they should have been because of it.

  20. Ind 293-5

    Virat Kohli emphatically dispatches Kagiso Rabada's fifth ball to the boundary with a powerful front-foot slap.

    He has 97, but is unable to pinch the strike off the final ball.

    Three more runs for a birthday hundred.
