IND 166/2 | Overs 26 | Yuvraj 44*, Dhawan 92*
Yuvraj and Dhawan bring up their 100-run partnership for the third wicket with a boundary each off Rampaul.

IND 153/2 | Overs 25 | Yuvraj 39*, Dhawan 84*

IND 147/2 | Overs 24 | Yuvraj 34*, Dhawan 84*

IND 61/2 | Overs 9 | Yuvraj 0*, Dhawan 32* OUT! Kohli 19(18)

IND 54/1 | Overs 8 | Virat 17*, Dhawan 31*

IND 15/0 | Overs 2 | Rohit 2*, Dhawan 12*
Shikhar Dhawan flicks one down the leg for a boundary, and Jason Holder is punished further with another four as he keeps the ball on the batsman's pads. Poor line and length results in third boundary of the over, this time through the covers. Dhawan is off to a flier.
IND 2/0 | Overs 1 | Rohit 1*, Dhawan 0*
Ravi Rampaul starts off on an impressive note, giving away only two runs in his first over of the game. There was an half-hearted appeal for caught behind against Rohit Sharma, but neither the bowler nor umpire Anil Chaudhary looked interested.
WI 263/5 | Overs 50 | DM Bravo 51*, Sammy 37*
Darren Bravo smashes the first ball to a boundary, and the West Indies add another eight runs to their total to finish at a daunting total against India. Bravo completes his third consecutive half-century in this series.
WI 253/5 | Overs 49 | DM Bravo 43*, Sammy 35*

WI 236/5 | Overs 48 | DM Bravo 38*, Sammy 24*
Perhaps the first mistake of his international career as an umpire by Anil Chaudhary, in his debut game. After being smashed for a six over mid-on, Shami bowls one outside the off stump and Darren Bravo gets a faint edge that was collected cleanly by Dhoni. The appeal was turned down by the umpire. Sammy rubs it in with another six over the sightscreen. A good over for the West Indies as 14 runs come off it.
WI 222/5 | Overs 47 | DM Bravo 31*, Sammy 17*
An excellent effort by Ravindra Jadeja with the ball. Only six runs conceded off his final over as the left-arm spinner finished with the figures of 10-0-49-1.

WI 198/5 | Overs 43 | DM Bravo 23*, Sammy 1*
West Indies struggling to go past the 200-run mark, which ideally should have happened long time ago. They seem to have lost the plot. Another impressive over by Jadeja as only two runs come off it.
WI 196/5 | Overs 42 | DM Bravo 22*, Sammy 0* OUT! DJ Bravo 4(11)
Poor shot from West Indies captain Dwayne Bravo. He was in no position to play the shot and is back in the hit.

WI 194/4 | Overs 41 | DM Bravo 21*, DJ Bravo 3*

WI 187/4 | Overs 39 | DM Bravo 17* OUT! Simmons 13(14)
One more wicket! Simmons, who had a fantastic outing in the second ODI at Visakhapatnam starts off well with two boundaries off Jadeja. But the Indian spinner has the final laugh, getting the Caribbean batsman caught behind by Dhoni. India pulling back things now.

West Indies batsmen scramble for three runs off Jadeja.
WI 169/3 | Overs 36 | Simmons 1*, DM Bravo 14* OUT! Samuels 71(93)
Sloppy footwork from Samuels costs him his wicket. Ashwin bowls outside the off-stump, and a sharp turn meant the ball clipped the bails to end the Caribbean batsman's stay at the crease. Batting powerplay was taken before the start of this over and Samuels had begun with a boundary off the first ball.
WI 164/2 | Overs 35 | Samuels 67*, DM Bravo 14*
Dhawan saves almost a certain boundary at long-on position as the West Indies take only three runs off Jadeja's fourth over in the match.
WI 161/2 | Overs 34 | Samuels 65*, DM Bravo 13*
One more chance to get a breakthrough missed by the Indians. One can say the fielding standards have slipped up a bit. DM Bravo hits in the air towards the long-on boundary, Yuvraj Singh the fielder at the crease, does not judges the ball properly as the ball sails over the ropes just over his head. A boundary off Ashwin's fourth ball helps West Indies take the run count to 12 from the over.
WI 149/2 | Overs 33 | Samuels 64*, DM Bravo 2*
Dropped! Virat Kohli spills a simple catch to get rid of Samuels off Jadeja at the first slip. The West Indies batsmen scramble for four more runs.

Samuels gets a boundary through the third-man area as the West Indies add another six runs to their total. Jadeja has been tight with the line.
WI 138/2 | Overs 30 | Samuels 54*, DM Bravo 1* OUT! Powell 70(81)
Powell falls after all the hard work! Raina comes around the wicket and bowls outside the off-stump. Powell goes for the sweep but a top edge means the left-hander perishes after a fluent knock of 70 off 81 balls. Shikhar Dhawan at short-fine leg takes an easy catch.
WI 137/1 | Overs 29 | Samuels 54*, Powell 70*
Ravindra Jadeja is in the attack for the first time in the day. An appeal for a leg-before is turned down by the umpire Rod Tucker. Samuels, meanwhile, completes his 23rd half-century in ODIs. The partnership between Samuels and Powell is of 117 runs now.
WI 130/1 | Overs 28 | Samuels 49*, Powell 68*
Powell once again gets a boundary with a similar shot that he played over the extra cover fielder in Raina's previous over. Earlier, Powell got a boundary with a top edge that went over 'keeper Dhoni. 11 runs scored in that over.
WI 119/1 | Overs 27 | Samuels 49*, Powell 58*
Ravichandran Ashwin has ensured that runs dry up from the end he is bowling. Only three runs added from that over. India are desperate for a breakthrough as the two batsmen are well set and can launch attack any time soon.
WI 116/1 | Overs 26 | Samuels 48*, Powell 56*
Powell comes down the track to loft the ball over the extra cover fielder to get a boundary. A good over for the West Indies as seven runs were scores off Raina.

Kieran Powell completes his half-centuy, which is second in as many games in this ODI series. Three more runs added of Ashwin's over.
WI 106/1 | Overs 24 | Samuels 45*, Powell 49*
Another half-hearted appeal in Suresh Raina's over, but the Indian bowlers are not creating much trouble for the Caribbean batsmen. Though the runs have dried up in past couple of overs, the batsmen do not look troubled.
WI 103/1 | Overs 23 | Samuels 44*, Powell 47*
Ashwin is getting into the rhythm. After being smashed for 11 runs in his first over, the right-arm spinner gives away only two runs in the second over and in his third, only one run
WI 102/1 | Overs 22 | Samuels 44*, Powell 46*
Suresh Raina continues from the other end as the West Indies batsmen bring up the 100 for their side in the 22nd over of the match. Ian Bishop in the commentary box thinks it's been a commendable effort from the Caribbean side.
WI 99/1 | Overs 21 | Samuels 43*, Powell 44*
Two runs come from Ashwin's second over of the match.
WI 97/1 | Overs 20 | Samuels 42*, Powell 43*

WI 80/1 | Overs 18 | Samuels 27*, Powell 42*

Shami bowls a maiden over. However, there was a nervous moment for Powell on the final ball of the over as he came down running half-way across the pitch, as Samuels denied the single. Powell dives but Yuvraj Singh's throw wasn't on the target.
WI 74/1 | Overs 16 | Samuels 26*, Powell 37*
West Indies batsmen are well set at the crease. Mohit continues after drinks but fails to make a mark. Two more runs added to the scoreboard.
WI 72/1 | Overs 15 | Samuels 25*, Powell 36*
Change of ends for Mohammed Shami doesn't work as he is clobbered for a boundary on the first ball by

Time for drinks.
WI 67/1 | Overs 14 | Samuels 25*, Powell 31*
Mohit Sharma comes back in the attack and is hit for a boundary by Samuels on the first ball. The West Indies batsman hasn't looked comfortable at the crease so far today. Nevertheless, Samuels improvises with a drive down the track to make it 10 from the over.
