Another good over from Jason Holder as only one ruin is achieved from it. Time for Drinks as umpire Nitin Menon indicates to the groundmen

2:38 PM

IND vs WI 2nd ODI | IND 46-3 | 14 Over

 

A shy at the stumps- Oh that was a close shave as the fielder aimed the ball at the stumps, but missed it. Had it hit, Rahul would have been struggling. 

 

Jaffa- What a delivery that was. On the fourth stump and it rises after pitching and beats Rahul all ends up who just manages to keep his bat away from the ball.

 

Driven beautifully- That's a classic cover drive as Rahul goes on his front knee and drive it to covers before good footwork at the boundary ropes saves it. 

2:34 PM

IND vs WI 2nd ODI | IND 43-3 | 13 Over

 

Maiden over from Holder to build on the pressure created by Smith

2:28 PM

IND vs WI 2nd ODI | IND 43-3 | 12 Over- Kohli is gone as well

 

Four!! What a shot from Kohli this is. Wide and outside off and Kohli drives it for four. 

 

Bang! Kohli is gone- This is a game changing over from Smith. It was in the area of uncertainty from Smith who has been bowling wayward deliveries before and Kohli edges it to the wicket-keeper. India lose three.

2:24 PM

IND vs WI 2nd ODI | IND 39-2 | 11.1 Over- Pant departs

 

Gone- In the air and taken. India lose the second wicket. Rishabh Pant tried to pull a ball that was way outside off stump and rising as well. He was not under control and managed to sky it. Holder encircled the ball before settling under it and catching it easily., Odean Smith has his man eventually. India are two down. 

2:21 PM

IND vs WI 2nd ODI | IND 39-1 | 11 Over- Double change, Holder is in

 

Jason Holder comes into the attack as Pooranb applies double change. 

 

That was tight- A direct hit from captain Poioran and Pant have been struggling. Played it with soft hands and ran with the ball to complete a dangerous single. 

 

Appeal- That was a strong appeal from Holder as the ball hit Kohli on the front foot but the inside edge saved him. Replays show that it would have gone over the top as well. 

2:17 PM

IND vs WI 2nd ODI | IND 37-1 | 10 Over- Odean Smith into the attack

 

Pant welcomes Odean Smith- That was wide and very short and Pant gave the perfect treatment to it. Hits it four past the backward point. 

 

Hit him And Smith hurries Pant. That was a sharp increase in pace from the Jamaican after an ordinary first ball

Only four runs from the over

2:12 PM

IND vs WI 2nd ODI | IND 32-1 | 09 Over

 

Brilliant Fielding- That was a well-timed punch from Kohli on a slightly short and wide ball But Fabian Allen at Point was up to the task and avoided the single by stopping the ball

 

Edge and four- That was wide and Pant slashed hard on the short of a length ball. It was an edge but went over the only slip fielder and for a four. 

 

In the air. This time it was fuller and Pant carved it over point and towards the third man for a single. 

2:07 PM

IND vs WI 2nd ODI | IND 27-1 | 08 Over

 

Short and Kohli play it all around the ground for a single. 

 

Cracking- That was a cracking pull shot from Pant. It was short from Jospeh and Pant pouches onto it in a flash and hits it for four to mid-wicket. 

 

A four and a single to end the over

2:04 PM

IND vs WI 2nd ODI | IND 22-1 | 07 Over

 

Lovey four- That was brilliant from Kohli as he hits a four in his trademark way to start the over 

 

Play and miss- Oh that was brilliant from Roach and Pant who wanted to play the ball dangling away from him, is beaten all ends up. Two more runs apart from the four from the over

2:01 PM

IND vs WI 2nd ODI | IND 17-1 | 06 Over

 

Just one from the over and that is it

1:56 PM

IND vs WI 2nd ODI | IND 16-1 | 05 Over

 

Four runs. Mis-field from Brandon King gives Kohli the much-needed boundary and confidence. It was poor from King as he missed a regular ball. 

 

And in pure Rishabh Pant style, the left-hander comes out of the crease, but Roach balls it outside off and Pant could only let the ball go into the gloves of Shai Hope

1:52 PM

IND vs WI 2nd ODI | IND 11-1 | 04 Over

 

Two runs from the over as Kohli, who is playing his 100th ODI in India opens his account. 

1:51 PM

IND vs WI 2nd ODI | IND 9-1 | 03 Over

 

Virat Kohli comes to the crease after the fall of Rohit Sharma. 

1:49 PM

IND vs WI 2nd ODI | IND 9-1 | Rohit Sharma is gone

 

And we have a wicket eventually, albeit it is of captain Rohit Sharma. It was well outside off by Roach and the ball enticed Sharma to cut it, but he was no way near the length and bounce of the ball. In two minds, whether to cut it or leave, the captain only managed to edge it to wicket-keeper Shai Hope. Earlier in the over, the ball was in the air as a cover drive by Pant got airborne, but was well above the short cover fielder.
