- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR24.4 Oh no, Rohit falls eight runs short of a century! A few dot balls and when Rohit sees a short ball outside off, his eyes light up. Goes for his trademark pull but hits it off the toe end, with the bat turning in his hands. It goes high to deep midwicket, where Jewel Andrew manages to hang on to the catch. Rohit must be wondering why he couldn't borrow a bit of luck from Gaikwad! But still, what a magnificent innings this was in challenging conditions! 141/32.3 A diving catch from Hope and Gill walks! There was a sound there and the Indian captain does not even wait. Back of a length and slanting in to the batter. It climbed a touch more as well. Gill pushes at away from the body to tuck it away fine. Only gets a glove. Hope dives full stretch to his left to take that one-handed. Early strike for West Indies, just what they would have liked 3/12.4 Through him! Kohli stunned, New Chandigarh stunned and Seales celebrates. The middle stump lies flat on the ground after the 136.5kph full ball thuds into it. Perhaps a hint of inward movement there. Kohli takes a stride forward to flick it across but sees the ball sneak in through the bat-pad gap. A first-ball blob for Kohli., a first duck for him since the consecutive ones against Australia in October 2025. Stunned silence at the ground, India rocked early 4/228.5 Leading edge, and Seales strikes upon return! Once again he continues banging on the lengths he stuck to in his opening spell. He bowls this one on a length just outside off, 135.2kph. Once of those lengths where you are not completely sure if you can come forward. Gaikwad was half-forward and hung his bat out while moving back. Only managed a leading edge to backward point where Campbell hung on and ended the India No. 4's charmed life 160/435.6 Motie extracts revenge and the New Chandigarh stadium goes quiet as Dhir falls! Tossed up full on middle, he looks to go inside out over extra cover but finds Andrew in the ring 225/540.6 Edged and taken! Seam-up delivery on the shorter side of good length outside off, Reddy looks to drive down the ground but the extra bounce sees the ball take the outside edge and lodge safely in Shai Hope's gloves 250/645.4 Is that a run-out? Looks like it is! Rahul looks to work this yorker to the leg side but it hits his legs and just drops behind him, coming to a stop next to leg stump. Rahul at first loses the ball, but then sees it and takes off for the single, with Kamboj having already started, but Alzarri beats Kamboj to the other end and manages to flick the ball onto the stumps with the debutant just short of his crease 290/7Extras8 (lb 1, w 7)TOTAL351/7 (50 Overs, RR: 7.02)Fall of wickets: 1-3 (Shubman Gill, 2.3 ov), 2-4 (Virat Kohli, 2.4 ov), 3-141 (Rohit Sharma, 24.4 ov), 4-160 (Ruturaj Gaikwad, 28.5 ov), 5-225 (Naman Dhir, 35.6 ov), 6-250 (Nitish Kumar Reddy, 40.6 ov), 7-290 (Anshul Kamboj, 45.4 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR4.1 Siraj roars and so does New Chandigarh along with him! The stumps go for a walk. He bowls it on a fullish length on off and middle, swinging back just a little, 139.7kph. Campbell swings across the line but is beaten on the inside edge. Siraj with his trademark celebration and West Indies stung early 41/120.4 Oh, what a way for this partnership to end! Confusion in the middle leads to Jangoo's downfall! Communications breakdown between Hope and Jangoo there as he's caught well short of the crease at the non-striker's end. Hope tucked this to midwicket's right and Jangoo took off for the single. Hope was never interested, leading to Jangoo stop-starting, especially with Kohli mis-fielding at first, before eventually trying to return to his crease, but it was too late. Absolutely unnecessary from a West Indies point of view. Critical, from India's viewpoint! 150/229.6 Nicked behind! Home-boy Dhir strikes but Rutherford thinks he has not edged it and opts for the DRS immediately. Tossed up ball, lands on a fullish length outside off. Rutherford hangs back but looks to slap it through off. There is a noise as the ball passes the outside edge and Snicko confirms it with a spike. Not too conclusive because the bat also seemed to have brushed the back leg. A very good catch from Rahul nevertheless and India have the breakthrough. West Indies lose a wicket and a review. Rutherford is still in the middle, has a word or two with the umpire, not willing to walk off. Hope finally has to have a quiet word with him, and Rutherford drags himself off 206/340.1 Oh, how big of a moment is this in the match? 134kph short ball angling in from outside off and Paul pulls it flat to deep midwicket, where Reddy takes an easy catch. He didn't quite middle that, and that's a big wicket, with Paul the main aggressor in this partnership and Hope seemingly struggling with a niggle. Paul, who scored 44 of the 65 runs in that stand, is still without an ODI fifty 271/443.3 And Kuldeep delivers yet again! Googly, dropped short on leg. Forde goes back and looks to pull it away but doesn't time it. Balloons up to deep midwicket where Naman Dhir makes no mistake. Forde falls trying to up the tempo. The pressure builds on West Indies 290/5Extras19 (lb 9, nb 2, w 8)TOTAL352/5 (48.2 Overs, RR: 7.28)Fall of wickets: 1-41 (John Campbell, 4.1 ov), 2-150 (Amir Jangoo, 20.4 ov), 3-206 (Sherfane Rutherford, 29.6 ov), 4-271 (Keemo Paul, 40.1 ov), 5-290 (Matthew Forde, 43.3 ov)
