All the West Indies have adopted the same approach against the Indian spinners -- hit out or get out!

New batsman Shimron Hetmyer looks to play the inside out lofted shot against Ashwin but doesn't make proper connection for two runs as it just evades the fielder.

Ashwin bowls one right up with a lot of flight as Hetmyer lofts it straight down the ground for a six.

In the next over, Powell reads Kuldeep early as he rocks back and steers the short ball past the slip fielder for a four to bring up his fifty. He picks up a couple of runs on the leg side with a fine glance.

Hetmyer continues to throw his bat, trying to hit big shots This time he gets a thick outside edge trying to attack Kuldeep and KL Rahul takes a good catch diving forward at point.

Kuldeep strikes again in the over. New batsman Sunil Ambris runs down the pitch but is foxed by the googly as Pant completes an easy stumping, who does well to pouch the ball despite the extra bounce.

Windies have lost their last three wickets for 18 runs to slip to 97 for four, with Kuldeep taking three quick wickets.

Roston Chase comes out to bat for the second time in two sessions and he gets off the mark with a single on the leg side.

The last ball is short as Powell pulls it over midwicket for a four to take the Windies past 100, in the 23rd over.
