Pretty balanced at halfway - An innings that zigzagged in three phases. The West Indies dominated the opening Powerplay before India fought back impressively through the middle overs. However, Jangoo's half-century provided the visitors with a late lift and helped take the total to a competitive score. India will be disappointed as they conceded 82 runs in the last ten overs, though they will take some comfort from restricting West Indies to below 300.
Just in! West Indies finish on 295/7. Low full toss, on middle. Motie hangs low and swipes it away in the air towards deep mid-wicket. Rohit Sharma charges in off the ropes as the batters push hard for the second run. Rohit picks the ball up and scores a direct hit at the batting end. The third umpire is called for a check, but the replays confirm that Motie slid his bat inside the crease before the ball hit the stumps.
Is Motie run out at the striker's end? Going by KL Rahul's reactions, he is. But the replay shows Motie has skated home before the ball hits the stumps.
NO BALL! Nitish Kumar Reddy misses his mark. Attempts the wide yorker but it comes out as an above-waist full toss. Motie flashes but is beaten for pace. Free Hit coming up.
Gets it right in the blockhole, on middle. Amir knocks it to long on for one. So far, so good from Reddy. Just 4 runs off the over so far.
Very full, not allowing the batter to get under the ball. Motie squeezes it out to extra cover for just a single.
Keeps the line near the tramline, full in length. Jangoo shuffles across to play the scoop over short fine leg. Mishits it towards deep mid-wicket and, strangely, they jog through for a single instead of taking the first run hard and keeping the possibility of a second run alive.
Spears in the yorker, outside off. Motie jams it out to long off for a single.
With 5 balls left in the innings, Gudakesh Motie is the next batter in. Jangoo is still off strike.
OUT! CAUGHT! Matthew Forde will be gutted with himself as he misses out on putting the full toss away. Reddy misses his mark as he goes for the yorker. Full toss at the sticks. Forde's weight is on the back foot as he swings at the ball. Slices it towards long off, where Naman Dhir sprints to his left and takes a safe catch.
