Shai Hope and Keemo are all smiles meanwhile with a chat
Shamar Joseph to Arshdeep Singh, no run - slower-ball off-cutter and dug in short into the pitch, Arshdeep Singh comes down the track and throws the bat on that, pulls and misses

Keemo Paul to Mayank Yadav, no run - short of length outside off, Mayank Yadav slashes and misses
Keemo Paul to Axar Patel, out Caught by Sherfane Rutherford!! Fifer for Keemo Paul and he is all smiles Full on middle - Axar Patel flicks and it's down the throat of deep mid-wicket.

What an over this is - 3 wickets and one which has pushed West Indies to the doorstep of victory. Axar Patel c Sherfane Rutherford b Keemo Paul 3(5)
Keemo Paul to Arshdeep Singh, 1 run - fullish on off-stump, Arshdeep Singh drags the heave without any timing to deep mid-wicket. Came off the bottom of the bat

Keemo Paul to Nitish Reddy, out Caught by Rovman Powell!! Third for Keemo Paul as he has his arms stretched out and tongue out in celebration. Full on middle-stump - Nitish Kumar Reddy gets forward to loft and fails to get under it. No elevation on the loft and straight to the fielder at long-on. Powell runs in to take a simple catch.

Keemo Paul to Nitish Reddy, SIX - half-volley and six. Lots of height and the distance too. Right in the slot. Full outside off, Nitish Kumar Reddy gets forward and lofts straight down the ground
Keemo Paul to Nitish Reddy, wide - slower-ball and short outside off, left alone and called. Shai Hope curses under his breath. He is not happy with that call
Shamar Springer to Nitish Reddy, 1 run - beautiful inswinging yorker and just 5 off the over. West Indies would be loving that. On leg-stump and Nitish Kumar Reddy can only dig it out to the right of Shamar Springer
Shamar Springer to Axar Patel, 1 run - slower-ball on a length outside off, no pace for Axar Patel as he gets forward to heave. The thick inside-edge rolls towards square-leg and it's just one
Shamar Springer to Axar Patel, 2 runs - very full on the stumps, Axar Patel digs out the flick, wide of short fine and deep backward square-leg runs across and cuts it off to his left. Shamar the man
Shamar Springer to Axar Patel, no run - Axar Patel looks at Nitin Menon at square-leg. It's a dot. It's a slower-ball and dug in short outside off, Axar slashes and misses. Two dots in a row. Not what India want at this stage

Shamar Springer to Nitish Reddy, 1 run - low full-toss outside off, Nitish Kumar Reddy gets forward to loft, again bottom of the bat and doesn't have the legs to carry to long-on where Powell is running towards it
Romario Shepherd to Tilak Varma, out Caught by Rovman Powell!! As soon as the ball went in the air - the crowd went wild but it's just height and if you wanted one man in the West Indies camp to be under that, then it had to be the Jamaican Powell. He runs in from long-off and takes it easily. It's a slower-ball off-cutter and full outside off, Tilak Varma gets forward to loft, but it's off the bottom of the bat and that's why it went straight up. Tilak shakes his head as he walks off. Good over for West Indies in the context of the game. Tilak Varma c Rovman Powell b Romario Shepherd 43(25) [4s-2 6s-3]
Romario Shepherd to Tilak Varma, 2 runs - low full-toss well wide outside off, Tilak Varma shuffles across and heaves, doesn't middle it and work for Rutherford running across to his right from deep mid-wicket. He dives and keeps it to two
Romario Shepherd to Nitish Reddy, 1 run - good ball. Wide yorker length delivery outside off, Nitish Kumar Reddy is standing outside the leg-stump, has to reach for it, digs it out towards cover. One is a great result at this stage for West Indies

Romario Shepherd to Tilak Varma, 1 run - length and wide outside off, Tilak Varma gets forward to flay but straight to the fielder at deep cover
Romario Shepherd to Tilak Varma, no run - Tilak Varma knows he has missed out there. He punches the bat in frustration. He shuffles across his stumps, misses the pull to a slower-ball dug in short. Not a wide and the right call by Nitin Menon. Shai Hope appeals in hope for a caught behind but there was nothing in that. Also Romario Shepherd came over the wicket to this one. Sitanshu Kotak makes a point to Gautam Gambhir
Romario Shepherd to Tilak Varma, SIX - a gift. Absolute gift. A low full-toss outside off, Tilak Varma stays back and belts it flat over long-on. Mid-on was inside and the crowd have sprung back to life all of a sudden. Humongous roar inside the RGIS. Shai Hope goes to Romario Shepherd to have a word
Shamar Joseph to Nitish Reddy, SIX - look at the reaction of the crowd. They love the local boy doing it. Both speak the same language even though Nitish Kumar Reddy is not a local. It's a length delivery on off, he stays back and shows great power and muscle to launch the loft over wide long-on. A flat hit and that's 21 off the over. The over India needed. He really got under that and he has great strength as well
Shamar Joseph to Nitish Reddy, SIX - he has pace but is erratic as well. This flies into the top-tier at deep backward square-leg. A low full-toss outside the leg-stump, Nitish Kumar Reddy sinks low and helps the flick. The pace helps him and it flies into the crowd
Shamar Joseph to Nitish Reddy, leg byes - 2 runs, everything happening out there. 147.3kph rapid short delivery as Shamar Joseph lets it rip. It thuds into the helmet of Nitish Kumar Reddy as he pulls and misses. It flies to backward point where Springer can't catch the ball. Also the throw is not backed up and they go back for the 2nd. Motie hits direct from long-on but Nitish is in. The concussion test follows. A break in play. Powell has a word with Shamar. That really was a brutal short ball and good to see Nitish fine as it really thudded into the helmet. Such was the force after hitting, the ball went to backward point on the full
Shamar Joseph to Nitish Reddy, wide - Shamar Joseph not happy with that call. It was speared into the boot of Nitish Kumar Reddy outside the leg-stump. It's inside the revised red guideline and no wonder Shamar is not happy. As is Daren Sammy. He is waving his hands in disappointment from the dugout. Nitish did well to avoid that delivery but Virender Sharma got that wrong
Shamar Joseph to Nitish Reddy, 2 runs - short of length and hard length on off, Nitish Kumar Reddy goes on the back foot and pulls wide of deep mid-wicket, Andrew is the man and it's an easy two

Shamar Springer to Nitish Reddy, 1 run - starts the over with a superp yorker on the middle, Nitish Kumar Reddy can only jam it to long-on for a single

Gudakesh Motie to Tilak Varma, byes - Tilak goes for the reverse sweep, but Motie spots it early and fires the ball down the leg side. The left-hander misses, and Shai Hope, standing behind the stumps, fails to collect it as well. The ball races away for four
Gudakesh Motie to Nitish Reddy, 1 run - darts it into the leg stump, Nitish Kumar Reddy whips it to deep mid-wicket for a single

Keemo Paul to Tilak Varma, wide - out comes the slower bouncer, but sails over the head of the batter who lets it go through to the keeper

Gudakesh Motie to Naman Dhir, out Stumped!! That’s an outstanding delivery to face first up! Naman Dhir will have to depart for a golden duck! It drops in front of Naman Dhir before gripping and turning sharply as the right-hander reaches out and is beaten by the turn. He loses his balance - his back foot comes out of the crease, and Hope is quick to whip off the bails. The replays confirm his foot is in the air and the third umpire gives it out after checking from multiple angles. West Indies are all over India at the moment. Naman Dhir st Shai Hope b Gudakesh Motie 0(1)
Gudakesh Motie to Abhishek Sharma, out Caught by Shamar Springer!! That's been hit straight into the hands of the fielder at long-off! A full delivery angled across outside off - and Abhishek looks to go big but fails to get the desired elevation, picking out the fielder at wide long-off. The left-hander is visibly frustrated with himself as he walks back, but Roston Chase has a few words for him and points towards the pavilion. Abhishek responds, but the exchange changes little as West Indies continue to hold the upper hand in this contest. Not a great outing for Abhishek Sharma at his IPL home ground! Abhishek Sharma c Shamar Springer b Gudakesh Motie 29(24) [4s-3 6s-1]

Gudakesh Motie to Abhishek Sharma, FOUR - short and wide, Abhishek Sharma carves it over point and gets four more for himself and his team

Shamar Springer is well behind the line. Now again total silence. Followed by a big roar as the local boy Tilak walks out. It's full outside off - Shreyas gets forward to loft, wanted to go over extra-cover but sliced it to deep point. No emotion on Ravi Rampaul the West Indies bowling coach.

Shamar Springer to Abhishek Sharma, FOUR - beats the two men on the fence. Abhishek Sharma backs away outside leg-stump, this is full there, he lofts and it's over extra-cover.

Keemo Paul to Ishan Kishan, out Caught by Jewel Andrew!! Whipped to deep mid-wicket and Keemo Paul is pumped. He looks at Ishan Kishan and leaps in the air to celebrate with a clenched right fist. It's full on middle - Ishan whips but hasn't timed this. Deep mid-wicket was pushed back after the wide and he is in business. Easy catch and just like that India have lost two in the over. Replays show that the bat turned on impact and that's why no timing. Ishan Kishan c Jewel Andrew b Keemo Paul 6(3) [6s-1]
Keemo Paul to Ishan Kishan, SIX - after such a pacy delivery, for some odd reason Keemo Paul goes for the slower-ball off-cutter and Ishan Kishan picks it nice and early. He gets forward and lofts straight down the ground for six. Abhishek Sharma comes and punches gloves and eggs Ishan on
Keemo Paul to Ishan Kishan, wide - pacy but too high and it's trampolined off the pitch. Ishan Kishan is miles away from the pull, misses and Shai Hope leaps to take it. Called a

Keemo Paul to Sanju Samson, out Caught by Shimron Hetmyer!! Keemo Paul strikes first-ball and silences the RGIS. Sanju Samson puts his head down and walks off. This line he has got out previously in this format. Tries to pull and on bigger grounds - deep backward square-leg and deep square-leg are in play. Here it's the former and Samson hasn't got the elevation to clear Hetmyer who takes it. Knows his left leg is close to the cushions and he is going over, so calmly lobs the ball back up, goes out and comes back in to complete the catch. Paul has his hands up in truimph. The short of length into the body worked there for him. End of a fantastic innings. Sanju Samson c Shimron Hetmyer b Keemo Paul 56(23) [4s-6 6s-4]
Romario Shepherd to Sanju Samson, 1 run - full and wide outside off, Sanju Samson is made to reach out to drive, the thick inside-edge goes to the vacant mid-wicket area. Samson lost his bottom-hand there

The crowd at RGIS go wild

Roston Chase to Sanju Samson, SIX - when he plays like this, he is so difficult to bowl to. It's fired full on middle-stump, Sanju Samson gets forward and lofts all the way over long-off.

Shamar Joseph to Sanju Samson, 1 run - he wanted a piece of this too. But it's a hard back of a length delivery on off, Sanju Samson goes on the back foot and flicks to deep square-leg and calmly retains the strike with that run. The backlift suggested that Samson was aiming to go big but then adjusted late
Shamar Joseph to Sanju Samson, SIX - Sanju Samson looks pumped. Why do I say that. Because he has a steely expression on his face. A half-volley on the stumps, he backs away slightly and crunches it flat over long-off. Got under that so well. The ball flies and that's the 100th T20I six for Samson. Consecutive hits over the fence and India are up and running
Shamar Joseph to Sanju Samson, SIX - what a shot this is. Pacy length delivery on middle and leg, Sanju Samson just gets forward and flicks. Such timing as it flies all the way over deep mid-wicket, into the crowd. He saw that early and just relied on timing it
Shamar Joseph to Sanju Samson, FOUR - the free-hit is a pacy delivery and Sanju Samson is in no position to pull. He goes on the back foot to do so, a thin top-edge on to the left collarbone and luckily for Samson it flies wide of Shai Hope and short third man. Runs away. He didn't know much about that one
Shamar Joseph to Sanju Samson, no ball - this is poor from Shamar Joseph. He has overstepped and released all the pressure. It's a tight short of length delivery on middle-stump, Sanju Samson opens the face of the bat and glides it straight to the fielder at short third man. Now a free-hit coming up for Samson
Shamar Joseph to Sanju Samson, no run - just wide of leg-stump. Length delivery and nips back in a tad, Sanju Samson is standing on leg-stump, or even outside it, tries to pull and it doesn't bounce that much. Past the inside-edge

Nitish Reddy to Shai Hope, SIX - 100 for Shai Hope. 2nd 100 this series. 4th on this tour. His unreal run with the bat continues. He raises his bat and waves to all corners of the RGIS as he walks off. Sherfane Rutherford goes and hugs him. The West Indies camp are all up and clapping in delight with beaming smiles on their faces. He should've been out here but Tilak has lost it in the lights at long-on and allows the ball to go through his fingers. Should've caught that and immediately Tilak gestures that he didn't pick it in the lights. He went to his left and then maybe the ball dipped on him. Lands flush on the cushion and that will go down as a drop. Won't matter to Hope and West Indies as they celebrate. Forde with a towel on his face and he doesn't care. He is grinning from ear to ear as they welcome back their skipper. What a way to end the innings. 10 needed to get to a hundred off 2 balls. Out comes the fresh bat - maybe a new one - from the bubble-wrap and then Hope smashes consecutive sixes to reach there. What a series he is having. And what a turnaround in his T20 fortunes as well. This is the new Hope who's here to stay and slay in this format. West Indies end with 247
Nitish Reddy to Shai Hope, SIX - change of bat and change of luck. A juicy low full-toss on middle, Shai Hope gets forward and lofts over long-on. Height and the distance as the fielder watches it sail over. Tilak the man

Prince Yadav to Sherfane Rutherford, 1 run - full and following Sherfane Rutherford just outside the leg-stump. He gets forward to drive to long-on. No timing
Prince Yadav to Sherfane Rutherford, 2 runs - what was that? Mayank has put down a sitter again off Sherfane Rutherford. Pacy short delivery as Rutherford charges at the bowler, rushes the batter, high on the bat and that's a simple catch to short fine. Mayank jogged to his right and in the end didn't even get fingertips on it. Immediately the camera pans to Abhishek and Gautam Gambhir who are equally shocked
Prince Yadav to Shai Hope, 1 run - full and wide outside off, Shai Hope sinks on his back knee and lofts to sweeper cover. He had to reach out there. Didn't time that at all

Arshdeep Singh to Sherfane Rutherford, SIX - when it's like that, it disappears. It's low full-toss on middle, tails back in, Sherfane Rutherford doesn't overhit, he gets forward and just relies on timing.

Mayank Yadav to Sherfane Rutherford, 1 run - what power. What arms he has. What muscle. Unreal from Sherfane Rutherford. A half-volley on off, he gets forward and whips that. Mayank Yadav did well not to go with an outstretched left hand as the ball was flying at some speed. What an effort from Naman Dhir too, he runs and dives to his left at long-off. Saves three. Superb cricket all around. Replays show that Virender Sharma did well too to get out of the line of the ball
Mayank Yadav to Sherfane Rutherford, SIX - length and six. As easy as that. Angling into the left-hander on middle and leg, Sherfane Rutherford just goes on the back foot and swivels to help it all the way over deep backward square-leg. All the way and this is an expensive over already
Mayank Yadav to Sherfane Rutherford, FOUR - tough catch and Naman Dhir dives forward at long-off and drops it. It's a full delivery on off, Sherfane Rutherford absolutely blitzed it flat, Naman went for it but it was always dipping on him. Did well to get both hands and he can't hang on. What's worse it dribbles away for four as well. Replays show that it just about flicked his fingertips. Full marks for the effort though
Mayank Yadav to Sherfane Rutherford, SIX - into the top-tier. What power by Sherfane Rutherford. He is a muscular hitter and this is an example. Crowd go silent at the RGIS.

Nitish Reddy to Sherfane Rutherford, FOUR - this time the wide low full-toss goes for four. It's a wide had Sherfane Rutherford left it. But he reaches for it and slices it to the right of Arshdeep at short third man. That shaped away too but didn't land it at all
Nitish Reddy to Shai Hope, 1 run - just in front of Tilak at long-on. Full on middle, Shai Hope doesn't get under it. He gets forward and lofts, lucky that he didn't hole out

Arshdeep Singh to Rovman Powell, out Caught by Sanju Samson!! Gone - the ploy of bowling wide to Rovman Powell has worked for Arshdeep Singh and India. The left-armer goes full and well outside off, Rovman Powell is flat-footed and tries to launch it towards deep extra cover, but can only manage an outside edge into the gloves of Samson. Arshdeep Singh gets his arms up in celebration. Rovman Powell c Sanju Samson b Arshdeep Singh 24(17) [4s-2 6s-1]

Prince Yadav to Shai Hope, 1 run - short of length and tight on off, Shai Hope goes on the back foot and punches it down to long-on
Naman Dhir to Shimron Hetmyer, SIX - brilliant hit. It's a good length delivery and slower on middle, probably a fraction short if you have to be ultra-critical. Shimron Hetmyer though is so quick as he goes on the back foot and nails the pull over deep mid-wicket. Lots of height and lots of distance too. Naman Dhir goes for 19 in his first over
Naman Dhir to Shai Hope, 1 run - full on middle and leg, Shai Hope gets forward to drive to long-on
Naman Dhir to Shai Hope, FOUR - such a poor delivery and with short fine up, that was begging to be hit. It's short and down leg, Shai Hope goes on the back foot and helps the pull to the deep backward square-leg fence. Naman put his hand up for the fielder to get across but he had no chance there

Axar Patel to Shimron Hetmyer, no run - was there a bit of inside-edge on to pad? Could well have been. Valiant diving effort from Sanju Samson and the ball just falls in front of his dive and the outstretched right hand. Shimron Hetmyer trying to heave to the leg-side, maybe a thick inside-edge on to pad and Samson went for the catch. Would've been a stunner had he held on. Samson and Hetmyer share a laugh at the end of it all. Replays are in and no bat on that. So wouldn't have mattered even if Samson had caught that
Axar Patel to Shimron Hetmyer, FOUR - Axar Patel not happy with Prince's effort at deep square-leg. But this is in the gap.

Arshdeep Singh to Shimron Hetmyer, SIX - the change of angle doesn't change anything. Arshdeep Singh continues to be expensive tonight. Full and in the slot on middle-stump, Shimron Hetmyer gets forward and lofts cleanly. Mid-off is inside and that flies all the way over the long-off fence. If it's there in the slot, these players will go for it. 19 off the over
Arshdeep Singh to Shimron Hetmyer, FOUR - poor line and that's four. It's full and sliding down leg, Shimron Hetmyer gets forward and flicks, thick inside-edge on to the pad and fine-leg is not there.
