Ind 134-3 (52 ovs) & 297 vs WI 222 | Scorecard

Roach making the ball talk. He beats Rahane with a cracking outswinger as the ball drifts in with the angle before moving away late to go past the edge.

Top bowling from the West Indies fast bowler to keep his team interested.

Rahane watchfully plays out the over from Roach, just wanting to see him off without any damage.

West Indies make a change as Gabriel comes in from the other end. He tries a couple of short balls to Kohli, who had perished to a short ball in the first innings to the same bowler. But this time he is content to just duck under it and safely play out another maiden over for India.

India are 125 for three in 50 overs, stretching their lead to 200 runs.

Change of ends for Brathwaite as he replaces Roach, who has gone off the field after a testing spell, where he deserved a wicket or two.

Rahane defends the first three balls before he slaps a slight short delivery into the covers for one and Kohli blocks the last two balls.

The wind has picked up and it has gone quite overcast in North Sound but no signs of rain yet.

A little bit of width from Gabriel as Rahane drives it on the up through the covers for a splendid boundary.

The next ball is short and wide as Rahane hammers it past point for another four to raise the 50-run stand for the fourth wicket.

That was Rahane's first boundary of the innings after 64 balls faced, while Kohli has also shown a lot of patience to hit just one four in 63 balls.

India are 134 for three in 52 overs, as the lead has gone past the 200-run mark, with Kohli on 26 and Rahane on 29.
