S Cottrell to R Jadeja
BOUNCER! It is bowled around off, Jadeja sways away from it. The umpire signals it one for the over. It should have been as it was way over Jadeja's head.

K Paul to V Kohli
OUT! Chopped on! Is this the turning point in this game? Stunned silence in the ground as the skipper walks back 15 short of his century. Keemo Paul strikes on the first ball of his comeback over. The ray of hope, West Indies were looking for. Kohli cannot believe what has happened. Full outside off, Kohli looks to drive away from the body. The ball takes the inside edge and goes on to disturb the stumps. India into the bowlers now. 30 needed in 23, can West Indies pull off a miracle?

K Paul to S Thakur
FOUR! Shardul is not bad with the bat in hand and he has proved just that. Full outside off, Shardul lunges forward and creams his drive through covers. And the loudest cheer in the cubical was for this shot.

S Cottrell to R Jadeja
WIDE! Slower ball gone wrong. Misses it completely and bowls it well down the leg side. Jadeja does not even offer any shot. The last thing Cottrell would look to bowl is a wide ball.

S Cottrell to R Jadeja
Slower ball on the body, Jadeja pulls it towards short fine leg and takes a single. A bit to the left or right and that would have been a boundary.

S Cottrell to S Thakur
WIDE! Bouncer bounces too high. Shardul looks to pull but misses. The square leg umpire signals it as wide to the umpire and it has been wided.

S Cottrell to S Thakur
EDGED AND SIX! Bouncer around the body, Thakur looks to pull but gets a top edge. The ball flies and it goes over the square leg fence for a biggie. Jadeja applauds his partner, the dressing room is going wild and the crowd is going bonkers.

On the body, Thakur glances it to the leg side and takes a single. 17 from 6 for Shardul. Who would have thought that he'd be the man to take them so close?

Not Out! Shardul is safely in. Full outside off, Jadeja hits it straight to mid off. Shardul comes out for a single but Jadeja sends him back. Shardul turns and tries to go back but he slips. The throw from the fielder is a poor one and Shardul recovers and makes his ground as Keemo takes the bails off.

K Paul to R Jadeja
Drama at the end! Safely in but India would not have cared as it is a no ball. India win by 4 wickets. On the pads, Jadeja flicks it towards mid-wicket and takes a quick single. The fielder scores a direct hit at the keeper's end. The umpire takes it upstairs but he has also signaled a no ball as Keemo Paul overstepped. The umpire still checks upstairs and replays show Thakur was in but unsure how it would have mattered. Nonetheless India win by 4 wickets and seal the series.
