India get to 100 in the 25th over
100 comes up for India in the 25th over. Rishabh Pant brings it up by flicking Keemo Paul to the leg side. He is getting a move on here. Shreyas Iyer, on the other hand, is looking busy. He broke the shackles by slapping a half-tracker from Roston Chase to the off-side boundary. India need these two to get going and put on a big partnership.
IND vs WI live: Pant struggling to get going
Alzarri Joseph has begun wonderfully well for West Indies. After picking up the wicket of Mumbai Indians captain Rohit Sharma, he has kept it tight, conceding just 7 runs in 4 overs. Rishabh Pant, the new man, has been struggling on this pitch. He likes pace on the wicket but this Chennai track is offering him very little. Shreyas Iyer key as India look to consolidate now.
Alzarri Joseph into the attack
Joseph is now into the attack for the 1st time in this match as Pollard reckons that Walsh is not having a great day yet with the ball. Joseph's first over is decent too giving away just 2 runs as India reach 75/2 after 17
IND vs WI: FOUR A tough introduction for Walsh in this game as he has now given away a boundary ball in both of his overs. This time Rohit connects with a full delivery, converting it into a full toss and deposits it past the square leg fielder
50 up for India
Oh what just happened! Walsh bowls a full-toss to Rohit outside off but the batsman fails to get any bat on it. The ball pitches on a yorker length for the keeper Hope who can't touch it either and it races away for a 4. It also brings up the team 50 of 12.1 overs
FOUR! What a shot from Rohit Sharma. A rare full ball from Holder and Rohit is quick to grab the opportunity as he hits it in the air straight past the umpire for a boundary. Bowling full-lengths on this pitch seems to be criminal at least till now
IND vs WI Live: WICKET! Wow! Great bowling by Cottrell as he is using slower balls to trick the batsmen. This time it's the big wicket of Kohli who tries to guide the ball towards third-man only getting an inside edge which rattles the furniture. Shreyas Iyer joins Rohit
IND vs WI Live: WICKET! The Cottrell-salute makes an appearance at Chepauk. A waist-high short ball from Cottrell and Rahul looks to nudge this on the leg side only managing a top0-edge. The ball lobs up in the air as Hetmyer gobbles up a dolly just outside the pitch. Virat Kohli the next man in
Back-to-back maidens from Cottrell Sheldon Cottrell seems to be bowling with a really nice rhythm here. There is not much swing on offer but Cottrell is bowling a short length and is able to generate a lot of bounce which has posed some discomfort for both Rohit and Rahul
