B Kumar to C Hemraj, Starts with a short of a good length ball around off, Hemraj punches this to covers where captain Kohli makes a diving stop.

17:50 (IST) Oct 29

We are all set to get the second innings underway as the umpires and the Indian players are seen making their way out to the middle. The Windies opening pair of Kieran Powell and Hemraj Chandrapaul also stride out to the center with the latter taking strike. Bhuvneshwar Kumar to start proceedings for the home side.

As things stand, you'd back India to win this one. But this game is all about the start. If the Windies' top order can provide that, then they have the likes of Hetmyer, Powell and Holder in the middle who can capitalize on that. Let's see how the Indian bowlers fare on this surface. Join us on the other side of the break for all the action.

The Windies bowling was rather listless today. Yes, the Brabourne Stadium is batting friendly, but conceding so much anywhere is poor. The wickets weren't easy to come, but what the visitors didn't do effectively was plug the run flow. Allowed Rohit and Rayudu in particular to score too freely. All went for a lot of runs.

17:30 (IST) Oct 29
Riding on fine century knocks by Rohit Sharma (162) and Ambati Rayudu (100), India have set a huge 378-run target for West Indies.
17:29 (IST) Oct 29

Needless to say, a mammoth total on the board for the Men in Blue. And it's all because of the local boy Sharma and Rayudu's 211-run stand. Electing to bat, Dhawan and Rohit got their side off to a flier. Dhawan departed and Kohli soon followed, but Rohit found an able ally in Rayudu and the two mixed caution with aggression perfectly. Rohit went on to cross 150, while Rayudu scored a fine century of his own. Dhoni, Jadeja and Jadhav added some vital, quick runs down the order and ensured India got to 377.

K Roach to MS Dhoni, OUT! Dhoni is gone! A bit of an anti-climatic end to his stay in the middle. Still remains one short of that 10k mark in ODIs. Full and angling in on the pads, Dhoni flicks this aerially. Doesn't get the placement right and hands a straightforward catch to Chandrapaul Hemraj at short fine leg.

K Roach to MS Dhoni, Dropped! But what an effort from Fabien Allen. Amazing try. Full and in the slot, Dhoni looks to go big downtown but only skies it to the cover region. Allen runs behind, the ball is coming over his shoulders and he dives forward. Gets his outstretched hands to the ball but can't hold on. Two runs are collected.
