India 447-6 (160 ovs) vs WI 196 | Scorecard


Holder finishes off his over after the resumption in the post lunch session as Amit Mishra defends the last two balls of the over.

Two singles from Bishoo's first over of the second session before Holder, who bowled nine overs on the trot in the first session, continues.

Leg-spinner against leg-spinner as Bishoo bowls to Mishra. It remains to be seen if the naturally aggressive Mishra will play in his own style or look to defend and support Rahane.

He paddles the fifth ball fine on the leg side but Blackwood sprints after it and keeps it down to two.

Holder bowls a short ball to Rahane, who tries to ramp it over the keeper but misses. A few balls later he gets it off the middle as he smashes a short wide ball behind square on the off-side for a four.

Mishra gets one up on his rival Bishoo as he chips down the track and lofts the leg-spinner straight back over his head for a six.

Spin from both ends as offie Roston Chase is called into the attack, who bowled a longish spell of nearly 10 overs on either side of the lunch break.

It's getting quite dark at Sabina Park and it looks like it could rain any moment.

Change of bowling as pacer Cummins replaces Bishoo, who has one for 107 in 35 overs.

The drizzle is getting a bit heavier but the umpires are content to let the match continue for now.

Meanwhile, Chase is getting the ball to turn and bounce but Mishra looks keen to get down and have a swing. He gets just a single courtesy of a thick edge past the fielder at slip.

After 60 overs, India are 447 for six for an overall lead of 251 runs.

Rahane is looking on course for a century, he is currently batting on 82 from 202 balls, having hit 12 fours and a six, while Mishra is on 13.
