India 28-0 (5 ovs) vs WI; Target: 72 | Scorecard

Holder gets it to bounce extra as Shaw is struck on the elbow while trying to defend and the physio has to come out and treat the youngster.

Rahul taps the next ball to long-on for a quick single followed by three more singles as five come from the over.

The two openers easily pick another five singles off Warrican in the fourth over to give India a quickfire start as they race to 24 for no loss in four overs.

Shaw ducks under a bouncer from Holder but the ball doesn't rise much and he is hit on the shoulder. The West Indies players take the review after the leg before appeal is turned down but the ball is clipping the top of stumps as the decision stays with the umpire's call.

Rahul drives Holder down the ground as mid-on half stops it to give away two runs before he picks one.

Sunil Gavaskar has observed a weakness with Rahul's batting, pointing out that the right-hander's head falls over and his front foot gets locked while trying to play at incoming deliveries, which he has to work on.
