- WI 120-3 (14 ovs) vs India 192-2 | SCORECARD

The boundaries continue to flow for West Indies. This time Simmons makes most as Jadeja errs with his line, smashing him through the off-side for two boundaries as 12 runs come from the over.

With the specialist bowlers struggling to make an impact, Dhoni decides to gamble with India's man of the moment Kohli, who has been in amazing form with the bat but hasn't bowled in quite a while.

And it turns out to be a masterstroke as Kohli strikes with his very first delivery. Charles hits it straight down the throat of Rohit at long-off to fall after an entertaining innings of 52 from 36 balls, after he had put on a quickfire stand of 97 runs from 62 balls for the third wicket.

Simmons plays two dot balls before taking a single to bring up his fifty, from 35 balls.

A superb over from Kohli under the circumstances, giving away just four runs while making an important breakthrough to pull things back for India.

West Indies are 120 for three in 14 overs, needing another 73 runs from six overs for victory at over 12 runs per over. They have a few big hitting batsmen still to come and the match looks set for a thrilling finish.
