WI 162-5 (49.4 ovs) vs India 297 | Scorecard

Jadeja is back into the attack. Hetmyer clips the second ball behind square for a couple. He looks for another forceful shot as he hits it down to long-on for one before Hope blocks the last ball.

In the next over, Hetmyer turns Bumrah on the leg side for one and Hope steers the next square on the off-side for two runs. He then drives an overpitched delivery by Bumrah through the covers for three runs.

A single to Hetmyer before Hope drives Bumrah straight down the ground past mid-on for two runs.

In the next over, Hetmyer shows some intent as he comes down the track and lofts Jadeja over the covers for a four, followed by a single each to the two batsmen.

Spin from both ends as part-timer Hanuma Vihari is called into the attack. There is a slight drizzle in the air but not heavy enough for play to stop.

Hope takes a single off the first ball before Hetmyer cuts the next but can't beat Jadeja's dive at point and he then steals a quick run to mid-off.

Meanwhile, the rain has got heavier forcing the umpires to call the players off the field.

West Indies are struggling on 162 for five in 49.4 overs, still trailing India by 135 runs.

Hetmyer was unbeaten on 23 from 32 balls, while Hope made a patient 19 from 49 balls, with the duo involved in an unbroken stand of 32 runs for the sixth wicket.
