WI 151-8 (44 ovs) vs India | Scorecard


Jason Holder plays a nice drive through the covers off Ashwin for a boundary before he survives a confident shout for LBW after he is beaten outside the off-stump.

Shami, in the middle of a good spell, bowls another beauty. This time left-hander Bishoo has no clue as the ball whizzes past the outside the edge. A couple of balls later, Shami has a huge appeal for caught behind turned down by umpire Ian Gould. He reproduces a similar delivery and goes up in appeal again but again the umpire turns it down.

Captain Kohli can't believe that the umpire didn't upheld the appeal. Unfortunately without the option of DRS, the Indians can't do much but just shake off their head in disappointment and continue with the game.

A fielder stationed at long-off for Holder against Ashwin. The West Indies skipper drives it through the covers but they pick just one to the left of the fielder at long-off.

Shami bowls another good delivery to go past Bishoo's outside edge before the left-hander drives it through the covers for two runs.

Shami is proving to be too good for Bishoo, who keeps getting beaten outside the off-stump. But the left-hander plays a good drive off the next, through the covers for three runs.

Bishoo takes a slight risk as he sweeps Ashwin behind square on the leg side for two runs. The left-hander gets an edge which falls short of Rahane at first slip for another couple of runs.

Shami, who bowled a superb spell and has figures of two for 23 in 10 overs, gets a break as he makes way for leg-spinner Mishra, who will bowl for the first time after lunch.

Holder pushes Mishra through midwicket for two runs to bring up the 150-run mark, in the 43rd over.

Bishoo finally perishes as he attempts the sweep but gets a top edge and is caught at short fine leg for 12.

Debutant Miguel Cummins is beaten by the quicker delivery from Ashwin which goes straight on but Saha fails to collect it cleanly.
