India 49-0 (6 ovs) vs WI | Scorecard

Rohit looking to break free as he clubs a full delivery from pacer Thomas straight down the ground for a six after missing a full toss off the first ball.

Thomas oversteps to give away a free hit but this time Dhawan swings it through midwicket for a four. Two balls later, he cracks a full delivery through the covers for another boundary.

A single off the last ball as Thomas goes for 17 runs in his third over, after he had conceded just four runs in his first two overs.

Rohit has cut loose. In the next over, he lofts spinner Pierre back over his head for a six over long-on. He smartly taps the next ball to long-off to pick up a single before Pierre bowls a leg side wide to Dhawan, as the wicketkeeper fails to collect and gives away another extra run.

12 runs from the over as India race to 49 for no loss in six overs, with 38 coming from the last three.

Rohit has cut loose after a slow start to smash 25 from 21 balls, while Dhawan has made 19 from 17 balls.
