August 27, 2016 20:35

WI 188-1 (14 ovs) vs India | Scorecard

Ashwin comes back, with India desperate for a wicket or two to halt West Indies's charge.

Lewis hits the first ball square as the point fielder half stops it to concede just two runs before Ashwin bowls two dot balls in a row, a rarity today.

A superb over under the circumstances from the off-spinner as he concedes just four runs in the 12th over.

Bhuvneshwar comes back as Lewis throws his bat at a wide full delivery, hitting it through point for a four.

Andre Russell has decided to join the party. He clobbers a length delivery from Bhuvi over midwicket for a six as 13 runs come from the 13th over, taking the total to 181 for one in 13 overs.

Ashwin in the middle of a good spell as he beats Lewis before the left-hander sweeps the off-spinner over square leg for a six to move to 96, just a hit away from his hundred.

Eight runs from the over as Ashwin finishes a good spell, giving away just 36 runs in his four overs.
