India 80-3 (19 ovs) vs WI | Scorecard
Medium pacer Alzarri Joseph comes into the attack. He starts with two dot balls to Iyer, before the right-hander turns the third ball on the leg side for one.
Rohit also picks a single on the leg side next before Iyer is unable to get a run off the next two balls as Joseph concedes just two singles in his first over.
Another change for West Indies as off-spinner Roston Chase comes into the attack.
Rohit clips the first ball through square leg for one and Iyer does the same two balls later but he gets it behind square for a couple before taking one to deep midwicket, followed by another single off the last ball.
Joseph makes the big breakthrough with the wicket of Rohit, who pulls a short ball straight to Pollard at midwicket to perish for 36.
Rohit and Iyer steadied the innings after Cottrell's two wickets in an over, as they put on 55 runs for the third wicket.
But Rohit's wicket has given West Indies the upperhand with not much experience to follow for India in the batting department.
A watchful Rishabh Pant plays out the remaining five deliveries with caution as Joseph bowls a wicket maiden.
