The Independent Voice of West Indies Cricket
Venue: PCA International Cricket Stadium, Ground A, New Chandigarh
India: Shubman Gill (capt), Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Rahul (wk), Nitish Kumar Reddy, Naman Dhir, Anshul Kamboj, Kuldeep Yadav, Mohammed Siraj, Gurnoor Brar
West Indies: John Cambell, Jewel Andrew, Shai Hope, Amir Jangoo, Sherfane Rutherford, Keemo Paul, Matthew Forde, Alzarri Joseph, Gudakesh Motie, Jayden Seales, Vitel Lawes
What to expect: Well, more heat in the afternoon. Trivandrum and Guwahati were both hot, fielders were switching in and out, batters were cramping. That’s unlikely to change, with temperatures in the mid-30s in the afternoon.
The sapping heat has been followed by long travel, covering roughly 4,000 km with matches scheduled in different corners, so there’s likely to be enough personnel change from both sides

Andrew in for Carty.
Paul at Six?
We look a batsman light.
Shubman Gill and Rohit Sharma are already out in the middle
Jayden Seales waits at the top of his mark. One slip in place
Matthew Forde to bowl from the other end, one slip, a catching midwicket and a catching forward square leg

A diving catch from Hope and Gill walks! There was a sound there and the Indian captain does not even wait. Back of a length and slanting in to the batter. It climbed a touch more as well. Gill pushes at away from the body to tuck it away fine. Only gets a glove. Hope dives full stretch to his left to take that one-handed. Early strike for West Indies, just what they would have liked
Shubman Gill c †Hope b Seales 1 (6b 0x4 0x6) SR: 16.66
(2.3/50 ov) 4/1

Through him! Kohli stunned, New Chandigarh stunned and Seales celebrates. The middle stump lies flat on the ground after the 136.5kph full ball thuds into it. Perhaps a hint of inward movement there. Kohli takes a stride forward to flick it across but sees the ball sneak in through the bat-pad gap. A first-ball blob for Kohli. Stunned silence at the ground, India rocked early
Virat Kohli b Seales 0 (1b 0x4 0x6) SR: 0
Bowlers dismissing Kohli off the first legitimate ball he faced in an ODI

Jayden Seales to Rohit Sharma, FOUR, that's the first boundary for India. Short and wide outside off, Rohit Sharma throws the kitchen sink at it, slashing it over point for a rollicking four
.West Indies review for an lbw! Hope is confident and he challenges the umpire's call immediately. This looks close. But it's missing the middle stump, height an issue..

Jayden Seales to Rohit Sharma, no run, West Indies lose a review! Back of a length delivery from over the wicket and it nipped back in sharply. Rohit Sharma gets beaten due to the movement and pinned on the pads. Replays confirm there was no bat involved. The impact was in line, but it was missing the stumps. This is excellent bowling by Jayden Seales though. He's asking a lot of questions..
