Gudakesh Motie to Shreyas Iyer, FOUR, back-to-back boundaries. Drifting on the pads, Shreyas Iyer flicks it over deep backward square leg for four more. Much needed for him

5.2

Gudakesh Motie to Shreyas Iyer, FOUR, finally connects one. Gudakesh Motie goes full and Shreyas Iyer smashes it over the bowler's head as the ball almost goes the distance, just bounces in front of the rope

5.1

Gudakesh Motie to Shreyas Iyer, no run, a run-out chance, and Shreyas Iyer survives. He heaved across the line against this full length delivery, and gets an inside-edge onto the pad. Sets off for a single without knowing where the ball exactly is. Tilak too is hesitant - starts to run and then aborts. Shai Hope is quick to move across and gather the ball. Iyer was way outside the crease and given up, but Hope couldn't nail a direct-hit at his end. Would have been curtains for the Indian captain otherwise

5.4

Gudakesh Motie to Shreyas Iyer, 3 runs, dropped at deep mid-off! Shreyas Iyer goes for the aerial route by swinging across the line, and miscues it completely. Rutherford charges in from the deep and tries to grab it, but the ball hits him on the chest. An overthrow allows them to come back for the third run

Keemo Paul to Shreyas Iyer, out Caught by Shamar Joseph!! A rusty knock by Shreyas Iyer comes to an end. Wasn't quite in his elements tonight. This was banged in short by Keemo Paul and Shreyas Iyer went for a pull. Miscues it towards deep mid-wicket, and Shamar holds on to another safe catch. He took Abhishek's catch earlier, now takes Iyer's catch. Safe hands in the field.

6.2

Keemo Paul to Naman Dhir, SIX, that's a first ball maximum for Naman Dhir! Looks like he was batting in the nets before walking in to bat. Picks the bones out of this back of a length delivery, whipping it over deep square leg for half-a-dozen. That came right off the meat of the bat

6.3

Keemo Paul to Naman Dhir, FOUR, he's off to a brisk start. Already 10 runs in 2 balls. This was short and wide outside off, allows Naman Dhir to free his arms

Kemo, you just got a wicket, and you bowl that crap after.

6.4

Keemo Paul to Naman Dhir, wide, under pressure he has fired a short and wide ball outside off, out of Naman Dhir's reach

6.4

Keemo Paul to Naman Dhir, SIX, 100 up for India! A good length delivery outside off, slight width on offer, Naman Dhir effortlessly lofts it over long-off for six more. That was middled to perfection, and was all about timing

Shamar Springer to Naman Dhir, SIX, Naman Dhir is batting like a dream at the moment. Has to be one of his finest knock in international cricket so far.

Shamar Springer to Tilak Varma, wide, attempted slower delivery outside off, but it's a wide ball

Shamar Springer to Tilak Varma, 2 runs

7.4

Shamar Springer to Tilak Varma, out Bowled!! A yorker length delivery outside off, Tilak Varma swings across the line, and gets an inside edge that has shattered into the stumps. India lose their fifth wicket in the form of Tilak. Just like Iyer, even he couldn't get going in the middle overs. Shamar Springer with his second wicket of this clash.

Rain stops play

A 5-over game disadvantages WI. The Run Rate required will be very high.

But I hope we can have a match of 5 overs

Will be 85 in 5 overs
