WI 29-1 (10 ovs) & 196 vs India 500-9d | Scorecard

Ishant continues as he also starts with a short ball which doesn't rise much as Brathwaite steers it past point for two runs. The right-hander edges the fifth ball as he looks to defend but is lucky that the edge falls short of the slips and goes for a four.

Bravo having a few problems with the short ball as Shami once again has him fending as he takes his eyes off. In his next over, Shami beats the left-hander with the full delivery which moves away enough to beat the edge and then is again left struggling to deal with a bouncer. Quality stuff from Shami as he makes most of the extra bounce on the pitch.

Bravo has a problem against the short ball as Ishant also tests him with a quick bouncer which the left-hander looks to defend before leaving it at the last minute as it goes down the leg side.

Bravo then tries to turn a short ball fine which falls just short of the fielder at leg slip. Ishant then bowls a full ball and Bravo is beaten again as he plays from the crease.

This has been a good testing spell by both Indian pacers as West Indies somehow struggle to reach 29 for one in 10 overs, still trailing by 275 runs.
