IND vs WI 2nd ODI | WI 133-6 | 34 Over | Target-238

 

Prasidh Krishna is back into the attack and is greeted with a glorious straight drive from Hosein which goes for a four

 

Oh. Edge and falls just short of the slip. Rohit Sharma tried to catch it by diving forward but it was played with soft hands by Hosein

8:19 PM

IND vs WI 2nd ODI | WI 129-6 | 33 Over | Target-238

 

Hooda gets an extra over and the ball is in the air as Allen hits it down the ground but falls short of the fielder. Five singles from the over

8:16 PM

IND vs WI 2nd ODI | WI 124-6 | 32 Over | Target-238

 

And another no-ball and once again this for a problem with field placement. One fielder too many outside the circle it seems. Will get much clarity in some time. For the time being it's a free hit. And this time around only one run off the free hit. On the previous two occasions, two sixes were hit by the Windies batters. 

 

The no-ball as we now know was because of three fielders behind square on the leg side. 

 

Even after the no-ball, only four runs come from this over

8:07 PM

IND vs WI 2nd ODI | WI 120-6 | 31 Over | Target-238- Hooda's maiden Intnl wicket

 

For the first time ever in his international career, Deepak Hooda comes to bowl. And he has taken a wicket and that too is the big wicket of Brooks. That was a nothing shot from Brooks. Comes down the crease, but then decides to chip it, instead of hitting with all power. Six wickets gone for West Indies 

Bowl a wide delivery after the wicket and the Windies players run two runs as well

8:03 PM

IND vs WI 2nd ODI | WI 115-5 | 30 Over | Target-238

 

That was a flipper and Brooks was scampering for room and just managed to get his bat ion line and cut past Rohit Sharma at slip to take two runs. 

 

An appeal for LBW but the ball was clearly pitched outside leg. 

7:59 PM

IND vs WI 2nd ODI | WI 110-5 | 29 Over | Target-238

 

That's a good shot. The ball was short and Brooks rocked back and pulled it past the short square leg for four runs. 8 runs from the over

7:55 PM

IND vs WI 2nd ODI | WI 102-5 | 28 Over | Target-238

 

Edge and lucky for Brooks as there was no slip and the ball goes for a four towards third-man. 100 comes up for West Indies

7:51 PM

IND vs WI 2nd ODI | WI 96-5 | 27 Over | Target-238

 

Pant says get him to drive and Washington Sundar dishes out a half volley for Hosein to drive for a single. Four runs come from the over

 

7:48 PM

IND vs WI 2nd ODI | WI 92-5 | 26 Over | Target-238

 

Mohd Siraj comes into the attack. One thing that must be noticed is the absence of dew so far. One can see no towels or no fielders swiping the dew off the ball. 

 

That was a miscued pull shot from Hosein but didn't carry to the fielders. 

7:45 PM

IND vs WI 2nd ODI | WI 91-5 | 25 Over | Target-238

 

Wow. Now there is another no-ball. This time from Sundar. And it is not a front foot no-ball mid you. It was for an extra fielder outside the circle. And bam a six! the second no ball has also yielded a six for West Indies. This time around, Brooks hoiks it over mid-wicket. 

 

11 from this over as the West Indian innings come to its halfway juncture in terms of overs. The team still needs 147 runs with only five wickets in hand. The required rate is almost six per over. 

7:39 PM

IND vs WI 2nd ODI | WI 80-5 | 24 Over | Target-238

 

Two from the Thakur over and the required run rate climbs for West Indies

7:34 PM

IND vs WI 2nd ODI | WI 78-5 | 23 Over | Target-238

 

Akeal Hosein has been sent up the order even ahead of the likes of Fabian Allen and Odean Smith and Wets Indies are in all sorts of trouble at 78-5. 

7:31 PM

IND vs WI 2nd ODI | WI 76-5 | 22 Over | Target-238- Holder is gone too

 

Shardul Thakur is into the attack as Brooks plays some exquisite drives but none go for a boundary. 

 

Krishna should have been kept on it seems even as he picked the wicket and did the job which was asked of him. 

 

Oh! But here I am being proven wrong as Lord Shardul Thakur removes the dangerman Holder with his short ball ploy. It bounced oh too much even for Holder who is six foot five. He tried to ride the bounce was not able to and managed to get toe end of the bat which took the ball straight into the hands of Deepak Hooda at deep square leg

7:24 PM

IND vs WI 2nd ODI | WI 74-4 | 21 Over | Target-238

 

In the air but safe. In fact, it is a six. So Brooks has decided to open the shackles finally and goes for a slog sweep over mid-wicket for a six that just drops outside the boundary ropes

7:20 PM

IND vs WI 2nd ODI | WI 66-4 | 20th Over | Target-238- Krishna strikes again

 

Gone!! Prasidh Krishna is back into the attack and picks up the important wicket of West Indian skipper Nicholas Pooran. It was at the right length, screaming Pooran for room as he tried to play the ball without coming in line with it.
