3:48 PM

IND vs WI 2nd ODI | IND 130-3 | 30th Over- India U-19 team on screen

 

And the TV shows the victorious Under1-9 team sitting alongside BCCI Secretary Jay Shah. There is VVS Laxman and Hrishikesh Kanitkar, the coaches as well. They were invited by Gujarat Cricket Association as guests for this game. India U19 won the fifth title for the country last week by beating England in the final in West Indies's Antigua

3:45 PM

IND vs WI 2nd ODI | IND 130-3 | 29 Over

 

That's terrible fielding from West Indies. These are not the standards we are used to seeing from the Caribbean team. Two misfields in this over and one of them cost a four

3:42 PM

IND vs WI 2nd ODI | IND 121-3 | 28 Over

 

What a ball to start the new spell with for Hosein. Turns like a snake after pitching and also there was some bounce as well. 

 

SIx !! What a reply from Rahul. Dances down the crease and hits over the bowler's head for a six. 

 

Cheeky from Surya. The right-hander almost steals it from the keeper's gloves and guides it towards the vacant third-man area past the short-third for four runs. Another expensive over comes to an end

3:38 PM

IND vs WI 2nd ODI | IND 108-3 | 27 Over

 

Without taking too much risk, India managed to get seven runs from the over and that has completed a set of three overs from which the two batters- Rahul and Surya have got 25 runs from. West Indies would now look to get into the wickets. Shai Hope would be remembered every time Rahul scores as he dropped the Indian batter earlier in the innings.

3:35 PM

IND vs WI 2nd ODI | IND 101-3 | 26 Over- 50 run stand between Rahul and Surya

 

Two fours from this Odean Smith over and the fifty run partnership between Rahul and Surya comes up. The first four was lucky shot as the ball might have gone anywhere. The second one was controlled pull and highlighted once again India's 'move on' policy which is now in effect. 

3:33 PM

IND vs WI 2nd ODI | IND 91-3 | 25 Over

 

A cracking four in the over. That's what was meant when we said India needs to get amove on. And the Indian batters are trying to get a move on. five more runs apart from the four and that gets India's score to 91 as half the overs in the innings are passed. 

3:30 PM

IND vs WI 2nd ODI | IND 83-3 | 24 Over

 

That's a third quite over in a row. India would want to get a move on now

3:29 PM

IND vs WI 2nd ODI | IND 81-3 | 23 Over

 

Only three runs from the over. That's another quite over

3:28 PM

IND vs WI 2nd ODI | IND 78-3 | 22 Over

 

Only three runs from the over. Not a lot to talk about. 

3:09 PM

IND vs WI 2nd ODI | IND 75-3 | 21 Over- Akeal Hosein into the attack

 

Six!! Welcome Hosein says, Rahul. It was short, almost half-tracker and Rahul rocks back to pull it over mid-wicket for the first six of the innings. 

 

A bit of turn finally for Hosein as it strikes Surya on the pads and that's the end of the over. 

3:05 PM

IND vs WI 2nd ODI | IND 68-3 | 20 Over

 

And Roach beats the batter once again. It was wide and Surya follows it only to manage not to get an edge. Five singles from the over.

3:01 PM

IND vs WI 2nd ODI | IND 63-3 | 19 Over

 

Holder has been the epitome of economical bowling so far. He has bowled brilliantly and has been unlucky to not get a wicket so far. But in his five overs, the tall guy has given only nine runs. 

2:59 PM

IND vs WI 2nd ODI | IND 63-3 | 18 Over- Dropped

 

No ball and free hit- Roach has started with a no-ball and the hooter goes off for a free hit. Rahul gets the free hit as a single was taken. 

 

Short and it was there to be hit, but Rahul misses it and can only hit up to the fielder at deep square leg. Only one run from the free hit

 

Oh my god !!! That's dropped- This will haunt Shai Hope a lot. It was a straightforward chance and he drops it. Kemar Roach is frustrated as he manages to get the edge off Rahul and a regulation catch was dropped from Hope. 

2:51 PM

IND vs WI 2nd ODI | IND 57-3 | 17 Over

 

Oh beaten- That was a good delivery. Pitching at good length and coming into the batter. Rahul plays and misses it

 

Gift from Holder and gleefully accepted by Rahul who glances the ball at the leg stumps for four down the fine leg

 

In the air, but short of the fielder at deep fine leg

2:47 PM

IND vs WI 2nd ODI | IND 51-3 | 16 Over

 

Nicely fielded from Fabian fallen at backward point to deny a single to Suryakumar. 

 

Four runs- That was a pretty wayward ball- A full toss on the leg stumps and Surya drives it for four runs towards long-on
