Chahal comes back for another spell. Simmons slaps a slightly short ball through the covers for a single before Pooran pulls a short ball from the leggie over midwicket for a six.
Pooran then picks a single off the fifth ball before Simmons lofts the last ball down the ground for a six over long-on, as 14 runs come from the over.
Pacer Bhuvneshwar, who bowled a good first spell of two overs for seven runs, is back into the attack.
Left-hander Pooran swings the first ball over midwicket for a four, clearing Jadeja, who was standing way inside the boundary.
Two balls later, Pooran plays a cracking drive through the covers for another four before clipping the next ball to midwicket for a couple.
Pooran then drives Bhuvneshwar down to long-off for a single before Simmons comes down and hammers the pacer over the covers for the third four of the over, to get 15 runs from the over.
West Indies on the charge, scoring 29 from the last two overs, to bring the asking rate under control with 29 needed from four overs for victory.
