India 344-3 (47 ovs) vs WI | Scorecard
Roach bowls a short ball to Dhoni, who goes for the pull but misses and is hit on the shoulder for a leg bye.
Rayudu picks one off the next ball before Dhoni tries to flick it through midwicket but ends up hitting it straight for two runs and then picks one to fine leg.
Roach gifts Rayudu a full toss which he clobbers over midwicket for a six to race into the 90s.
Left-arm spinner Fabian Allen comes back into the attack. Dhoni picks a single off the first ball before Rayudu attempts the sweep but is beaten. He slaps the third ball through the covers for two runs and then picks one to the same fielder.
Paul starts with a high full toss which is ruled a no-ball for height and Rayudu lofts the free hit on the leg side but can't clear long-on as he picks up two runs to take his score to 98.
Rayudu taps the fourth ball to point and scampers across for a quick single to race to his century from 80 balls.
Dhoni is hit on the forearm by the throw from the fielder. He gets some treatment from the physio before he opens the face of the bat and steers Paul through point for a four and then clips the next ball behind square for another boundary.
