Shaw's attack gives India a flying start

October 13, 2018 11:01

India 61-0 (8 ovs) vs WI 311 | Scorecard

West Indies introduce spin early as left-armer Jomel Warrican comes into the attack to bowl the sixth over, replacing Holder. He makes a tidy start as Rahul is content to cautiously defend against the left-arm spinner, who starts with a maiden.

Infact, Holder switches to the other end as he takes over from Gabriel. He gifts Shaw a half-volley on the pads which the right-hander clips through midwicket for a four and then drives the next ball through the covers for one.

Another no-ball from Holder as the tall pacer oversteps before Rahul defends the last two balls.

Shaw continues to bat aggressively. He slog sweeps spinner Warrican for a boundary over midwicket to bring up India's 50, in the eighth over, dragging it from well outside the off-stump.

The next ball is nearly on the same spot but this time Shaw stays legs side and drives it through the covers for a four. He hits the fourth ball to the fielder at mid-off who lets it go through for the third boundary in a row.

Shaw has smashed his way to 42 from 30 balls, having hit eight fours and a six, while Rahul has made just four from 21 balls as India race to 61 for no loss in eight overs.
