Ashwin also completes the milestone of 150 ODI wickets in his 111th match.

The off-spinner also registers excellent figures of three for 28 in 10 overs. The two spinners, Ashwin and Kuldeep, combined claimed six for 69 in 20 overs.

Part-timer Kedar Jadhav is called into the attack. And he takes just one ball to finish off things with the wicket of Kesrick Williams, who is beaten by one which goes straight one to bowl him for one.

WI 157-8 (37 ovs) vs India 251-4 | Scorecard

Kuldeep struck again in his final over as Mohammed went for the sweep but missed a full delivery and was hit right in front of the stumps.

The on-field umpire ruled it out immediately but Mohammed went for the review. But the decision stays as the right-hander was hit in line with the ball going on to hit the middle stump.

Mohammed walks back after a good innings of 40 as West Indies are reduced to 156 for eight, in the 37th over.

Kuldeep once again impressed with the ball, finishing with excellent figures of three for 41 in 10 overs.

Powell and Mohammed revived their team's hopes somewhat with a 54-run stand for the sixth wicket but the wicket has further dented their hopes with only the tailenders to follow.

Mohammed and Powell are doing well to build a partnership. Pandya comes back as Powell pulls a short ball through midwicket for a four and two balls later smashes it over mid-off for the same result.

Ravichandran Ashwin comes into the attack in place of Kuldeep, who took one for 21 in four overs.

Ashwin strikes in his very first over with the wicket of Holder, who is stumped for six as Dhoni comes up with a super quick stumping as West Indies stumble to 87 for five, in the 20th over.
