OUT! TAKEN SUPERBLY IN THE DEEP! Shamar Joseph strikes, and there is a hush of silence in Guwahati. Joseph bangs this into the pitch, just outside off.

He takes a couple of steps to balance himself, realises he is still going to go over the ropes. He flicks the ball up in the air and comes back to complete the catch. The third umpire sees the replay and it confirms that it is a fair catch. India are 320/2, chasing 406 runs.

Has Rutherford caught it cleanly? The decision is sent upstairs for an umpire's review. Kohli is trudging off already, but he is asked to stay until the verdict is passed.

Finally, something to cheer for the West Indies as they manage to break the onoute 255-run opening stand. Rohit Sharma walks off to massive applause, and the crowd roars even louder as Virat Kohli walks out to bat at number 3. Also, looks like Shubman Gill is struggling with some cramps and needs some medical attention. He is fine and we are good to continue.

OUT! LBW! At long last, a wicket for the West Indies and fittingly, it is Seales, the most disciplined bowler on the park tonight, to get it. He spears in a length ball, attacking the stumps. It lands and nips in a touch. Rohit Sharma plays all around it as he gets cramped for space and the ball strikes the pads. A lengthy appeal for LBW from Seales and up goes the finger. Rohit has immediately sent it upstairs, but the Windies players look very confident. And if there's no bat involved, it looks pretty straight. UltraEdge presents a flat line when the ball is next/close to the bat. Ball Tracking confirms three reds with the ball hitting the top of the middle and leg stumps.

CENTURY FOR ROHIT SHARMA! Number 45 brings up hundred number 35 in ODI cricket, and there are scenes of pure celebration at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium. This is Rohit's fourth ODI century against West Indies, and there is history attached too. He plundered a mammoth 152 on this very ground, against this very opposition, back in 2018, also while chasing a big total. This time, India are chasing a total way more than that, but they are very much bossing this up now. He completes the milestone with a hop and a jog, tapping a length ball into the off side for a single. The crowd erupts, and his teammates are up on their feet back in the dressing room.

We have reached the halfway mark. Despite having over 400, India are absolutely cruising along in this chase, with both openers making it look easy. Shubman Gill has already notched up a hundred, while Rohit Sharma is just one run away from his milestone. West Indies are running out of answers here.

FOUR! Each shot gets better than the previous one. This is sublime batting from the Indian skipper. 250 comes for India! Shoulders dropping for the West Indies players.

Shamar comes charging across to his left from deep cover, but rather than diving, opts to block it with his leg, only for the ball to cannon off and spin away to the fence. Rohit moves to 99!

FOUR! How easily done! Overpitched by Lawes, outside off, Rohit Sharma carves it through the cover and point gap for a boundary. No protection there in the deep and the ball speeds away.

DROPPED! Keacy Carty with a cardinal sin as he has put down a massive chance. Short around the middle stump line, and this one grips a touch on the way back in. Rohit rocks onto the back foot for the pull, a fraction early into the shot, and ends up getting it off the toe end of the bat. Carty, stationed at deep square leg for precisely that opportunity, dives forward and gets both hands to it, only to see the chance burst out of his grasp. Lawes drops to his haunches in disbelief at the other end. Only time will tell how costly that drop will be for the Windies. One run taken.

CENTURY FOR SHUBMAN GILL! The Indian skipper goes back-to-back to notch his 11th ODI century, and this one arrives off just 62 balls. He is batting in a different stratosphere altogether, making a habit of turning starts into massive scores. The milestone comes with a gracious flick through the mid-wicket gap, perfectly bisecting the deep mid-wicket and deep square leg fielders for a boundary. Just a gentle raise of his bat to acknowledge the applause, and he gets a warm hug from Rohit, who is inching towards a century of his own. Still, a very long way to go, but he has set up a superb platform for his side.

India have smashed 96 runs in the 11-20 over phase. And they are well ahead of their opponents at 188/0 in 20 overs. At the same stage, West Indies were 158/2. West Indies desperately need a wicket here.

Drinks Break! Rohit and Gill have helped India to get off to a blistering start in this historically mammoth run chase. So far the bowling from West Indies has been strictly ordinary, with dew starting to settle in gradually. Both the Indian openers have literally dined on anything remotely loose. But it's still a long, long way to go as India still require 285 runs to win. The tourists will desperately try to get a wicket or two as quickly as possible to slow things down a bit. And in such chases, one or two quick wickets are enough to derail the whole momentum. India, on the other hand, will have to keep attacking with no other option to overhaul this target. All things said, this has been a superb batting track. Keemo Paul is back on. He was smashed for 17 runs in his only over so far. He replaces Shamar Joseph.

Lands this short of a length and on off, Rohit Sharma steers it away towards point.

Floated, short and on middle, turns in, Shubman Gill stays back and clips it to square leg.

A member of the ground staff is out with a bucket and sprinkles some sawdust on the bowling mark before rushing back. Time for spin, then. Roston Chase replaces Keemo Paul.

Another full delivery, on off, Rohit Sharma knocks it towards mid off. Much better over from Shamar!

Swing and a miss! Pitched up and on off, holds its line. Rohit Sharma has a big slog across the line but only connects with thin air. Shai Hope also fails to grab it cleanly.

Fuller in length and on off, Rohit Sharma takes a half-stride out and blocks it.

FOUR! The 'Hitman' does not miss out! Shamar Joseph misses his yorker and serves a low full toss, angling into the pads. Rohit Sharma does not have to do much and tickles it away to the fine leg fence for an easy boundary.

Hits the deck hard, outside off, Shubman Gill punches it through cover-point for a single. He has now overstepped. Another No Ball and a Free Hit to follow.

Back of a length and on off, Shubman Gill crouches a bit low and dabs it down to point.

Good length and on off, Shubman Gill gets behind the line of it and blocks it out.

Powerplay 2! West Indies can have four fielders outside the inner ring till the 40th over. It has been an incredible start for India in this big run chase, but this game will be decided by how the two teams play the middle overs. Also, Shamar Joseph comes back into the attack.

Nips in from off, on a good length, Rohit Sharma walks down a couple of steps to work it to the leg side but gets a thin inside edge onto the thigh pad. 17 runs off the over, 36 in the last 3 for the hosts. India end their Powerplay with 92/0 on the board.

Straight and and full, on off, Rohit Sharma alertly blocks it off the front foot.

The ball is not coming back, it seems as if one of the spectators has got hold of it and is clicking pictures with it. The umpires bring out a replacement, and we are good to go again.

SIX MORE! Makes the most of the Free Hit and that's FIFTY FOR ROHIT SHARMA! His 63rd ODI half-century, and he gets there in just 32 balls. Also, this is Rohit's 200th six on Indian soil in the ODIs. Coming to the delivery, it is a juicy slot-ball on the pads. Rohit Sharma picks it off the pads and whips it into the stands behind deep backward square leg for a massive six. This is Rohit Sharma at his very fluent best. He will aim to convert this into a huge score now.

SIX! Glorious shot! Pitched full and around the off stump line, Rohit Sharma hits it through the line and launches it over the deep extra cover fence for a six. Oh dear! That's a cardinal sin by the bowler. The siren goes off as Keemo Paul has overstepped. No Ball called. Free Hit coming up!

In the air... just short! Keemo Paul is not too pleased with the effort from Lawes. Back of a length, angling back into off and middle from outside off at 131.5 kph. Rohit goes for the pull but gets a top edge, as the ball ricochets off his glove hand and loops towards short third. Vitel Lawes is late to get off the blocks but eventually charges in and dives forward but cannot get there in time.

FOUR! Up and over! Very short by Paul, on the bodyline. Rohit Sharma swivels to pull and gets a bit of a top edge but over short fine leg for a boundary. Oh, that was a pace-off delivery by Paul as well.

Keemo Paul is into the attack now. Starts with a length ball, on off, Rohit hangs back and punches it solidly down the pitch.

Top-drawer bowling from Seales under extremely humid and challenging conditions. He attacks the stumps with a full-length delivery, Gill alertly stabs it down the pitch. Just two runs from the over. India need 331 runs from 246 balls.

Crunched away but once again, to the fielder. Back of a length, outside off, Shubman hangs back and punches it crisply to the off side, but the covr-point fielder makes a sharp diving stop to his left.

Nip-backer on a good length, on top of the stumps. Shubman backs away and cuts it straight to the cover-point fielder.

Fuller and around off, Gill nails the cover drive, but cannot split the gap between the fielders.

Nice and full, angled onto the pads, Gill pushes it to the leg side in front of square.

On a slightly fuller length, on middle, Shubman Gill hops down the track and lofts it over cover-point. The timing is not quite there on the shot so it lands in the outfield in the deep cover region. They rush through for the second run and Gill is very keen to get back for the third, but the fielder's rocket throw to the keeper denies it with Shubman retreating in time. Good calling from Rohit as well.

FOUR! Handsomely struck through the gap. Too full and around off, Rohit Sharma leans into the drive and creams it absolutely off the middle of the bat to deep cover for a boundary. 17 runs off Shamar's first over. A very expensive start for him.

Short of a good length, outside off, 140.5 kph. Gill lets the ball arrive and eases it behind to deep third for one more.

Oh, this one lifts off the pitch, on a good length, 138.8 kph. Rohit is taken aback but he controls the shot with soft hands, guiding it to deep third for a single.

Bangs it short outside off, Gill stands up on the toes and punches it to deep cover-point for a single.

SIX! Goes the distance! He has made that look so easy and effortless. Back of a length, wide outside off, Shubman Gill opens the face of the bat by going deep inside the crease and carves it powerfully over deep backward point for a six. Gill is off to a flying start as he gallops to 34 off just 19 balls.

FOUR! Through the gap. This is delightful batting. Short of a length from Shamar, outside off, Shubman Gill hops on the toes, opens the bat face and places it wide of the backward point fielder. By the time anyone could move a muscle in the field, the ball blazes through to the fence.

Shamar Joseph comes in as the first bowling change.

Fuller than a length, outside off, Gill drives it perfectly between mid off and extra cover for a single.

FOUR! WHAT A SHOT! Bangs it short and outside the off stump, Shubman Gill uses his feet, stays leg side of the ball by backing away and squeezes it over the backward point fielder for a boundary. That's 2000 ODI runs for Gill on Indian soil. Simply outstanding.

Full in length, swinging back into the batter, around off. Rohit drags the bat in front to defend but gets a thick outside edge. The ball runs to the deep third region where Shamar Joseph fumbles to pick the ball but it stays in his vicinity and the batters stay happy with a single.

SIX! That has got a flight number attached to it. 50 up for India in just 6.3 overs. This is pushed fuller on the pads, Rohit Sharma uses his wrists and with no intensions to keep it down, he whips it over the long leg fence, dumping it into the stands for half a dozen runs.

Beauty! A smidge fuller and outside the off stump, getting the ball to shape away. Rohit loosely dangles the bat away from his body and is comprehensively beaten on the outside edge.

At 136.1 kph, this is slammed hard into the pitch, outside off. Rohit Sharma goes for the square cut on the off side but ends up chopping it off the inside edge and it bounces behind to Hope.

FOUR! Easy pickings! Drifting on the pads, too full, Shubman Gill uses the pace and simply tickles it to the right of the short fine leg fielder for a boundary. 11 runs off the over and India are off to a really positive start in a mammoth run chase. They need 362 runs from 44 overs.

Short of a good length, outside off, Rohit Sharma crunches it to the backward point fielder where Roston Chase makes a slight fumble, parrying the ball to the right of the short third fielder. One run taken. Possibly the dew is making its presence felt in the middle.

FOUR! How skillful! Short of a length, a skiddy delivery that climbs on the batter. Rohit Sharma arches back and cuts it uppishly but between backward point and short third for a boundary.

Fired on a fuller length, 143 kph, on middle, Gill flicks off the pads to mid-wicket.

WIDE! Sprays it down the leg stump line, full in length. Gill gets across slightly but misses to flick.

This one kicks up from the pitch, short outside off. Gill negotiates nicely and taps it to ground to backward point.

Fuller and straighter, on middle and leg, Gill firmly strokes it to mid on.

A slight appeal for LBW, but not entertained by the umpire. Only Seales looks interested. Possibly going down leg or missing leg stump on height. On a back of a length, angled around the leg stump, Rohit Sharma looks to work it into the leg side but plays over the wrong line and is hit on the thigh pad. Don't think there was bat involved. And indeed. The ball in fact hit Rohit's back thigh pad and the Ball Tracking later shows it would have missed the leg stump on height as well.

Nagging length, outside off, blocked into covers off the back foot.

BEATEN! How has that missed the off pole? Pitched fuller than a length this time, in the channel and just moving away a shade. Rohit Sharma looks to loft it down the ground but gets beaten by the away movement. The ball whistles past the outside edge and flirts with the off pole on its way to the keeper.

Swing and a miss! Seales spots Rohit jumping down the track to whack it over mid off, and bangs in a bumper outside off. Rohit goes through his shot but the ball springs over his angled bat.

Deviates in a touch, on a good length, on off. Sharma knocks it off the back foot to mid off.

Good-length delivery, outside off. Gill hangs back and steers it behind backward point for an easy single.

Good gas on this one. Hammered short at 142.3 kph, angled into the bodyline while extracting fair bit of bounce. Rohit Sharma is rushed on the pull shot and misses to connect entirely. It lobs off his body, left arm perhaps and drops wide of the short fine leg fielder.

In the air... but in the safe zone! Fuller in length, around off, Rohit Sharma deliberately lofts it over the mid off and extra cover fielders. The ball plugs in the outfield and they scamper through for a couple of runs.

Hits the length hard, on top of middle, Rohit rocks back and carefully bunts it to the off side.

Good areas from Seales! In and around the off stump line, on a good length, shaping away. Shubman Gill gets squared up and has a loose poke at it, with the ball zipping past his outside edge.

Slightly short and with a hint of outswing, outside off. Rohit ignores. 14 runs off the over.

FOUR! CRRRRUNCHED AWAY! Short from Joseph, outside the off stump. Rohit is onto it in a flash, stands tall and crisply cuts it through cover-point gap for a cracking boundary.

Fuller now, tighter on the stumps, Sharma watchfully blocks it to the off side.

TOP EDGE, SIX! Alzarri cannons it on a good length, around off, climbing on the batter. Rohit Sharma is a bit late on the pull shot and gets a fat top edge. The ball balloons up and sails over the deep third fence for half a dozen runs. That certainly took Rohit by surprise.

FOUR! Gracious stroke! Short of a length, wide outside off, Rohit Sharma rides the bounce and square cuts it behind square on the off side for a boundary. It rapidly goes to the fence.

Gets a decent outswing, fullish and outside off. Rohit is not interested in play at that.

Alzarri Joseph will take the other new ball.

FOUR! So nearly chopped on! Luck favours Gill here. On a back of a length, outside the off stump line. Shubman Gill looks to cut it square on the off side, but gets a massive inside edge and the ball bounces past the stumps before rifling towards the deep fine leg fence. Perhaps the line was too close to cut and it skid through the urface too. So 8 runs off the first over.

Slants the ball on the pads, on a good length, Gill hangs back and stabs it down the pitch.

Hammers it on a short length, on top of off, Gill lets the ball arrive and steers it to the point region using soft hands.

Short of a length, 137.8 kph, outside off, Gill loosely punches it off the back foot to the backward point region. The ball goes on the bounce to Roston Chase as he dives to his right but parries it to the deep for a couple of runs. The Indian skipper is off the mark as well.

WIDE! Tries to swing the ball back into the batter on a length, but it goes straight on and down leg. Gill leaves it alone.

A fumble and India are off the mark, so does Rohit. Back of a length, shaping away, outside off, Rohit taps it off the back foot to the right of the backward point fielder where a slight fumble allows him to dash off for a single.

Rohit Sharma is not happy with something. It was probably the smoke going off behind the bowler, just after he delivered the ball.

Good carry and Seales is on the money! Jayden gets the ball to swing away from the batter, on a good length, but wide outside off. Rohit lets it through to the keeper.

Beaten! Short and angling in from outside leg at 137.7 kph, Shamar backs away, looking to pull, but misses entirely. A fine last over from Brar, but West Indies finish on 405/7, their highest ODI total ever.

Pinpoint yorker outside the leg stump. Chase backs away and works it to cover-point for a single.

Up in the air... but safe! Brar spots Joseph moving to the leg side and cannons in a yorker on the leg stump, completely cramping the batter for room. Shamar looks to flick it to the leg side but gets a fat leading edge. The ball swirls over covers but Gill is unable to spot the ball initially and it drops in front of him. One run taken.

Play and a miss! Short of a length, on top of off, Shamar Joseph looks to carve it over backward point but misses.

FOUR! Up and over! Nicely executed by Shamar. 400 up for West Indies, for the first time in ODI history! A well-executed wide yorker from Brar, but Shamar reads it in time. He jams his bat down at the last moment and opens the face just enough to steer it over a leaping fielder at short third, with the ball sailing beyond Rohit Sharma's outstretched hands.

Spears in full and on off, Chase swings it down to long on for a single.

Gurnoor Brar will bowl the final over. Also, India have been handed a penalty for slow over rate, having to place one extra fielder inside the circle.

In the air... lands safely! Kuldeep never looked like getting into a good position to take the catch. Full on leg, and Shamar goes to hoick it across the line, but ends up slicing his shot over backward point off the leading edge. Kuldeep from short third, tracks back to take the catch, but overruns the ball, and it drops just short of him as he spins around, leaving him no chance to recover. He tumbles and bangs his head on the turf in the process, though he seems to be fine. Two runs taken.

Will the extra ball cost Auqib Nabi?

WIDE! For height. Short and over the head of the batter. Shamar swings to pull but misses to connect.

Around off on a fuller length, Chase drags it across to long on for a single.

Big swing and a miss again! Full and straight, outside the off stump. Chase swings hard to send it soaring over covers, only to miss out again.

Swing and a miss! Into the blockhole, and wide outside off. Chase fails to get under it and misses out to put bat on ball.

Fuller than a length, on off, weakly lofted over mid off for a single.

Drifts it full and down leg, on a fuller length. Roston Chase moves a bit too much across and goes for the slog sweep but misses. KL Rahul grabs it to his left. 2/75 in 10 overs for Jadeja as he ends his spell.

Just in! Full and fired outside off at 100.5 kph. Shamar swings hard but misses completely as he loses his shape. Rahul is a bit late to react behind the stumps, and the ball deflects away to short third. The batters dash through for a bye, with Jadeja calling for the throw to come in quickly. Shamar is late off the mark but scrambles home in time regardless. And the replay confirms that Shamar is home before Jadeja whips the bails off.

WIDE! Spills it wide outside off, beyond the tramline. Shamar swings hard, only to miss.

SIX! Oh, hello? Extraordinary strike on the first ball. Quicker and fuller, outside off, Shamar Joseph takes it on and spanks it over the long off fence for a cracking six. This is now West Indies' highest ODI score ever.

Shamar Joseph walks out to bat next.

OUT! CAUGHT BY ROHIT! Small pleasures for India and, more importantly, Jadeja as he gets his second wicket after a barren run in this format. Short of a length, and Alzarri can't decide whether to flick it or go through with the pull. Indecision costs him, as the shot comes off all wrong, and the ball loops up weakly, dropping straight into the fielder's zone with barely any distance to cover. Rohit Sharma swoops across from deep square leg and takes a fine catch. West Indies are 385/7 with 15 balls remaining.

Full on the leg stump. Joseph rocks back and knocks it back to the bowler.

WIDE! Fires one more down leg, on a length. Joseph misses the flick and KL Rahul collects the ball to his left. He goes up in an appeal for caught behind, but that doesn't influence the umpire one bit.

FOUR! Loosener and easily dealt with! Down the leg stump, on a fuller length. Joseph tickles it off the inside edge and it races to the deep fine leg for a boundary.

Ravindra Jadeja (9-0-63-1) will bowl out now.

FOUR! Into the gap! Wide yorker, outside off, Roston Chase carves it powerfully through the cover gap and Rohit Sharma gives up on his chase from long off. Crucial boundary for the tourists.

At 133 kph, too full on the stumps, Joseph clears the front leg and strokes it away to long off for a single.

WIDE! Misfires it down the leg side, full in length. Joseph misses to flick.

Back of a length, slower one at 116.4 kph, outside off, Chase walks out of the crease and heaves it to the right of long on for a single.

Low full toss, outside off, Chase couldn't quite get under it and mistimes the drive to the cover fielder.

Full and straight on the stumps. Joseph drives it to long on for a single.

Almost a yorker, on off, Chase carves it away to deep cover for a single.

Comes from around the stumps now. Lands a googly on a length. Alzarri Joseph rocks back and whips it through the vacant mid-wicket region. They push hard for the first run and scamper back for the second. By the time Virat runs in off the ropes and throws the ball to the keeper, they complete the second run. Excellent over from Kuldeep and an excellent spell as well, with figures reading 2/65 in 10 overs.

Another full ball and it is flicked to short mid-wicket again.

Full at 86.1 kph, on leg, clipped off the pads to short mid-wicket.

Beaten! Bowls a googly, full and around off, Alzarri Joseph is sucked on the front foot to defend, but the ball zips past his outside edge. Didn't read the variation there, did Joseph.

Drops it short on the stumps and gets it to turn back in. Joseph stays put and taps it down the pitch.

The next batter in is Alzarri Joseph.

OUT! CAUGHT BY VIRAT! And that's 200 ODI wickets for Kuldeep Yadav. The second-fastest after Mohammed Shami in this format and the ninth Indian to reach this landmark. He dishes out a full ball but gives it a lot of flight on the leg-stump line. Keemo Paul walks forward and looks to cart it down the ground but ends up badly mistiming it off the toe end. The ball sails straight down the throat of Virat Kohli at long on. He is not dropping those dollies at all. A memorable moment for Kuldeep. A milestone worth celebrating for him. West Indies are 369/6.

Last 5 overs left. West Indies still have a great chance to breach 400. This is already their highest total against India in ODIs. Kuldeep Yadav (9-0-63-1) will bowl out.

FOUR! Spoils the over! Auqib Nabi misses the yorker and serves this full, on off. Roston Chase presents the full face of the bat and blazes it wide of long off. Rohit Sharma runs to his left and dives but has no chance of stopping the boundary.

A good wide yorker, outside off, Roston Chase jams it out towards short cover.

Pitched up and around off, Roston Chase drives it wide of sweeper cover for a brace.

Full and on middle, Keemo Paul drills it to long on for a single.

As the sun sets in Guwahati and the floodlights come to full effect, Auqib Nabi is back on. There is still no update on Prasidh Krishna, and with Dhir also off the field after an ankle injury, it will be interesting to see how Gill manages his remaining bowling resources through the back end, while making sure India do not leak too many in the final six overs. Jadeja, Kuldeep and Brar all have an over each left, with Nabi the only other bowler remaining with a few overs.

Gives this one some more air, full and on off, Keemo Paul drills it to long off for one more.

Dragged back, on middle, Roston Chase stays back and nudges it towards deep square leg for one.

Short and on off, Keemo Paul pats it wide of the bowler, but Jadeja dives to his left to make the stop.

Slows it up, full and on middle, Keemo Paul is solid in his defense again.

Tossed up, full and on middle, Keemo Paul blocks it out.

Flighted, full and on middle, Keemo Paul defends it on the front foot.

A truly memorable knock from Jangoo comes to an end. Though he would have hoped to stay till the end and provide a strong finish. Keemo Paul is in at number 7.

OUT! CAUGHT! Finally, a wicket for Ravindra Jadeja. He drops it short and outside off from around the stumps. It is not a wicket-taking ball, but he gets some extra bounce. Amir Jangoo stays back and tries to cut it away but fails to keep it down and does not get enough elevation. It flies to the left of point, where Ruturaj Gaikwad moves and grabs it. It almost pops out but he manages to hold onto it with his fingertips. West Indies are 348/5 now, with two new batters at the crease.

Floated, full and on off, Roston Chase drives it towards long off for a single.

Change? Yup. Ravindra Jadeja (8-0-62-0) returns for his final spell, replacing Gurnoor Brar.

Two dots to end the over, but still 14 runs off it! Quicker, short and on leg, Amir Jangoo backs away but gets cramped for room and pushes it back to the bowler.

Excellent effort in the deep! Flatter, short and outside off. Amir Jangoo tries to cut it away but gets a thin outside edge as the ball races past short third. Ravindra Jadeja chases after it and dives to push the ball back inside just in time. No one else would have reached it. Three taken.

FOUR! Lovely use of the feet again! Flighted, full and around off. Amir Jangoo comes forward again, gets his hands through and cracks the drive through covers for a boundary.

SIX! Going, going, gone! Tossed up, full and on off. Amir Jangoo dances down the track to get to the pitch of it and dispatches it over the long off fence for a biggie.

Touch fuller and on off, Amir Jangoo steps across and flicks it to deep square leg for one.

Hard length and on leg, Roston Chase misses his flick as the ball goes off his pads towards square leg. A leg bye taken.

Back of a length and just outside off, skids through. Roston Chase slashes at it but misses.

Dug into the surfce, around off, Roston Chase sways away and tries to uppercut it but misses.

WIDE! Short of a length and on middle, angling into the leg side, Roston Chase tries to glance it away but the ball passes below his armpit. KL Rahul grabs and appeals for the catch but it is given as a wide.

Two quick wickets for India as West Indies slip from 329/2 to 330/4. But they are in a very strong position now to get to 400 with Jangoo still out there. In walks Roston Chase at number 6.

OUT! IN THE AIR...GONE! Gurnoor Brar strikes big here. He bangs this into the pitch, on middle, gets some steep bounce. Sherfane Rutherford tries to take it on with a pull shot but the ball gets a bit big on him. He mistimes it high in the air towards deep square leg, where Yashasvi Jaiswal (Sub) runs forward and takes a fine catch. A golden duck for Rutherford, and West Indies are 330/4 now.

HUNDRED FOR AMIR JANGOO! Off just 70 balls! This has been a fantastic knock and he brings up his 2nd ODI ton. He is pumped up and takes off his helmet and raises his bat to celebrate the moment. He also kisses the ground. Coming to the delivery, full and on middle, Amir Jangoo tucks it through mid-wicket for a single. This is the 2nd fastest ODI century by a Windies batter against India, with the fastest also coming in this game by John Campbell.

End of the mammoth 182-run stand. Also, time for Powerplay 3. Now, five fielders are allowed outside the inner ring till the final over. The way West Indies have batted so far, India probably need a few in the stands as well. Sherfane Rutherford is the next man in.

OUT! IN THE AIR AND GONE! ODI wicket number 199 for Kuldeep as he breaks a marathon 182-run stand for the third wicket. The celebrations from the Indian camp are muted, a quiet acknowledgment of just how authoritative that partnership was. A tired-looking shot from Shai Hope as he tries to slog-sweep the googly on a fuller length. Gets a massive top edge and the ball spoons over backward point, where Auqib Nabi takes a straightforward grab.  West Indies are 329/3 in 40 overs. Hope walks off to a standing ovation from the crowd, with his teammates also greeting him with warm applause.

Short and outside off, 91 kph, Jangoo cuts it off the back foot to deep point for a single. He moves to 99!

Length ball on the stumps, this is flat-batted down to long on for a single.

Kuldeep Yadav is back on.

Attacks the stumps on a fuller length, Hope knocks it down to long on for a single.

FOUR! HUNDRED FOR SHAI HOPE! A true captain's knock, and this brings up his 20th ODI century off just 90 balls. He has been a consistent run-getter in this format, and clearly relishes this opposition, this being his fourth ODI hundred against India. He also moves past Brian Lara on the list of most centuries by a West Indies batter in this format, and now sits just behind Chris Gayle (25 ODI hundreds). He gets to his milestone by simply flicking the full toss over mid-wicket for a boundary.

Short delivery from around the stumps, angling in, Jangoo miscues the pull shot. It flies off the top edge but drops safely in the square leg region. One run taken.

Nails the yorker, on off, Hope squeezes it away to deep point for a single.

SIX! Powerfully struck! Short from Auqib, another slower one at 118.5 kph. Nothing threatening at all and Jangoo waits for the ball to arrive before he unleashes a crisp pull shot. Sends it soaring over deep square leg for a six. Pretty ordinary from Nabi, to be very honest.

Excellent work in the deep by Rohit! Saves a certain boundary. Tossed up outside off, there to be hit, and Jangoo dances down the track to loft it towards long on. He does not quite middle it, though, and almost holes out.

Drinks Break! It has been smooth sailing for West Indies from the start. Even after losing Campbell for 101, the run rate has hardly dipped, with captain Shai Hope settling in nicely at the crease and eyeing a century of his own now. Amir Jangoo, meanwhile, has been exceptionally fluent, unleashing a wide array of shots, a sign of just how good this surface is for batting, though the skill on display deserves its due credit too. The Indian pacers have gone for plenty, and the spinners have found it just as hard to penetrate, but they will need to keep manufacturing chances to claw their way back into this game. Even 400 looks a real possibility for the tourists if they keep going at this scoring rate. Auqib Nabi (3-0-35-0) is back into the attack now, replacing Kuldeep Yadav. He was very expensive and couldn't control his lines and lengths. But can he give a breakthrough for the Men in Blue in his second spell? Let's see. Also, Yashasvi Jaiswal is in as the substitute for Prasidh Krishna who has gone off the field.

On a length, outside off, Shai punches it on the rise to deep extra cover for a single.

Just short! Slower through the air, shortish and on middle, holds up on the surface. Shai Hope stays back to work it away but ends up lobbing it down the pitch. It just drops in front of Kuldeep Yadav. It has been Hope's day.

Short and on middle, Shai Hope flicks it off the back foot through square leg for a single.

Halfway through the first innings. West Indies have admirably maintained their scoring rate in and around 8 runs per over so far. And more importantly, they have not lost wickets rapidly this time around. So a score of 350 is pretty much on the cards for the tourists.

Massive shout for LBW, but turned down! Ravindra Jadeja slows it up, full and on off, turns in a bit. Amir Jangoo steps across to clip it away but misses and gets hit on the pads. Jadeja is literally pleading with the umpire but gets nothing. However, he has managed to convince Shubman Gill to take the review. UltraEdge shows a slight murmur when the ball is next to the bat, and watching the side-on and front-on angles at the same time, the third umpire confirms that there is bat on ball.

Tossed up, full and on middle, Shai Hope lunges out and blocks it out.

A brief pause in play as both batters take a mini hydration break to tackle the humidity out there. Good to continue and Dhir continues his spell as well.

Kohli reacts a touch late, dragging his hands overhead to pluck it with a reverse cup, but the ball bursts through his grasp and rolls away to the deep for two.

Full around the off stump. Hope lunges forward and defends it to extra cover.

OUT! IN THE AIR AND CAUGHT! The bowling change works wonders for India as Brar ends Campbell's fun. A short ball from Brar that sits up invitingly, and Campbell backs himself to pull it away aerially. However, the ball kicks up a bit and gets big on him. There's no timing on the shot and the ball goes sailing off the top edge towards Dhir.

Campbell brings up the milestone with a gentle push to long on for a single, marking his second ODI hundred. It has been a long wait for one, with his last ton coming all the way back in 2019 against Ireland in Dublin. A fluent, fantastic knock from the southpaw so far, built on nothing but positive intent.

Looks like John Campbell is struggling with the heat, and the umpires have called for DRINKS. Campbell has a wet towel over his head to cool down, but his batting has been pretty explosive. He has raced to 83 off 51 balls and will eye a big hundred, with a lot of overs left. Shai Hope is playing the supporting role well, but they'll know they can't repeat the middle-overs mistakes from the last match. India were in a similar situation in the first ODI, but they clawed their way back, and will be hopeful that Kuldeep Yadav can repeat his heroics. Still, it will have to be a collective effort, as this is looking like a batting paradise.

Shai Hope goes for a booming drive through cover, but mistimes off the inside half of the bat and chips it to the left of the bowler. Kuldeep Yadav stretches his left hand out to pluck it low, but the ball just pops in and out of his palm and drops down the surface.

85/0 in the first ODI, in Thiruvananthapuram, and now the West Indies go even better than that with 96/1 in the first Powerplay. Campbell has taken the Indian seamers to the cleaners in Guwahati. This is the highest Powerplay score by the West Indies against any Full Member nation in ODIs, informs Ian Bishop on air. Powerplay 2 time. India will be allowed to have a maximum of 4 fielders outside the inner ring until the 40th over. Ravindra Jadeja is introduced into the attack now.

Prasidh Krishna, stationed at deep fine leg, lurks under it, but watches the ball sail over him and drop beyond the ropes.

Swings down the leg stump line, full in length. Hope flicks it to deep backward square leg. By the time Prasidh sprints to his left from deep fine leg and throws the ball to the keeper, the batters scamper through for a couple of runs.

FOUR! Gun-barrel straight! Fuller in length, on the stumps. Hope presents straight bat face and cracks the straight drive, splitting mid off and mid on and once the ball meets the outfield, it just speeds away to the fence.

India have their first wicket, but surely, Carty didn't look pleased with the decision. Captain Shai Hope walks in at number 3.

OUT! TAKEN! India have their first wicket, and Naman Dhir has pulled off a terrific low catch at point. Prasidh Krishna gets the ball to hold up after pitching full around off, catching Keacy Carty by surprise as he goes for the drive. He is forced into a miscued shot, slicing it towards point, where Dhir throws himself forward and gets both hands underneath it just above the turf. There is a lengthy check from the third umpire, with one of the angles suggesting the ball may have made the slightest contact with the ground. However, there is no clear evidence to overturn the decision to Not Out. Carty is clearly unhappy with the verdict, but his stay comes to an end. West Indies are 37/1.

An umpire's review for a fair catch. Dhir with an absolutely stunning catching attempt there at cover-point. But has he got his fingers wrapped around the ball cleanly? The third umpire deems it a clean catch, with his fingers underneath the ball cleanly. He asks for another angle, but there is no conclusive evidence to suggest that the ball is grounded. So the decision goes in favour of the bowling side. Disappointment for Carty. OUT loads on the giant screen.

Touch fuller and on off, Keacy Carty blocks it out. Four dots on the trot!

Good length and on middle, John Campbell tucks it towards short mid-wicket.

FIVE WIDES! Bonus runs! Auqib Nabi errs in line and serves this full but way down the leg side, angling further in. John Campbell gets down and across and tries to paddle it but misses. KL Rahul has no chance of stopping that as it races to the fine leg fence for a boundary. Debutant under pressure early on.

Appeal for caught behind, but turned down! Hits the deck hard, on the fifth stump line, shaping it away. John Campbell has a poke at it but the ball passes close to the outside edge to the keeper. Rohit Sharma at first slip puts in half an appeal, but nothing doing. The keeper, KL Rahul, suggests that the bat hit the pads. And hence, India do not review it. The UltraEdge shows a clear gap between bat and ball. So, a wise decision by Gill and Co. not to send it upstairs.

Gets away with it! Auqib Nabi nails the wide yorker, outside off, angling it away further. John Campbell throws his bat at it but fails to connect.

Good-length delivery, around off, angling away. John Campbell leaves it alone. Uh-oh! The siren goes off and Nabi has overstepped here. No Ball called and a Free Hit is up next.

A bit of movement! Auqib Nabi begins with a fuller delivery, shaping away, Keacy Carty knocks it towards mid off for a quick single.

All set to get underway in Guwahati, the Gateway to North East India. The two umpires punctually make their way out to the middle. Right after them, the Indian players spring out confidently and take their respective fielding positions. It is a fresh opening pair for the West Indies in the form of John Campbell and Keacy Carty. Daren Ganga on air informs us that this is the 12th opening combination for the Windies in this World Cup cycle. Right then, two slips in place, with Prasidh Krishna ready to steam in with the new ball. Campbell is on strike. Off we go...

Ruturaj Gaikwad (India) - On his form since that hundred against South Africa last year, Gaikwad says that was a long time ago, with plenty of cricket in between, including the IPL, played across different conditions and different batting positions. He admits there is nervousness returning to the international level after a gap, but he feels the last game was a step forward, just getting out there and settling in for a while. On dealing with limited opportunities, he keeps his approach simple, saying it comes down to giving his best whenever the chance to play for India arrives, rather than dwelling on when the next opportunity might come. He concedes it can be tough to process at times, but says the focus has to stay on enjoying the honour of playing for the country. On adapting to batting at number 4, Gaikwad describes it as a real adjustment, having opened in over a hundred first class innings before this. He then explains that middle-order batting at the international level brings its own demands, from rotating strike to picking the right option at the right time, unlike the powerplay where fielders are in, and boundaries come easier. He says the key is adapting to the situation while still backing his own strengths.

PITCH REPORT - Murali Kartik is inspecting the conditions in Guwahati. Starts by describing the conditions as warm and humid, with more heat still to come, in what he calls a high dew zone. He notes that the square boundaries measure 61 meters to one side and 69 meters to the other, and it is 74 meters straight down the ground. Details that both ODIs played here have produced big totals, in excess of 300. Daren Ganga ​​​​​​joins him and calls it a strong batting surface with a history of high scores. He points out more grass on this pitch compared to Trivandrum, which could offer the seamers extra lateral movement. He also adds that the hard, red soil base means the ball should still come on nicely for the batters. Ganga also expects bowlers to target the shorter side to claw back some advantage. Adds that dew will turn heavily in the chasing team's favour later in the innings. Kartik then concludes by relaying the curator's claim that dew has been managed and should not be a major factor.

West Indies (Playing XI) - John Campbell, Keacy Carty, Shai Hope (C/WK), Amir Jangoo, Sherfane Rutherford (In place of Jewel Andrew), Roston Chase, Keemo Paul (In place of Justin Greaves), Alzarri Joseph, Shamar Joseph (In place of Matthew Forde), Jayden Seales, Vitel Lawes (In place of Gudakesh Motie).

India (Playing XI) - Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill (C), Virat Kohli, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Ravindra Jadeja, KL Rahul (WK), Naman Dhir, Auqib Nabi (In place of Nitish Kumar Reddy and On Debut), Kuldeep Yadav, Gurnoor Brar, Prasidh Krishna.

The captain of West Indies - Shai Hope says that they would have definitely bowled first as well. Adds that the coin-toss is a 50-50 always, but here they have another opportunity to put some runs on the board and give their bowlers something to defend. Hope mentions that it is about identifying the areas they need to improve and finding ways to get better. According to him, it is about going out there and playing good cricket and doing the right things. Hope says that the surface looks good and they need to assess quickly and see how to score at the back end. He also informs that they have made four changes but jokingly says he is not going to run his head through them and you can just see the graphics.

The skipper of India - Shubman Gill, on the surface, says there's a bit more grass and that it's a bit patchier as well. So he thinks it will offer a lot more to the pacers. On the last game, Gill is pleased with how his side responded, having come under pressure through the first 20 to 25 overs before fighting back well. He points out that conditions in Guwahati are even more humid and hotter, which he sees as a fresh test for his fast bowlers. On fielding standards, he agrees that intensity in the field during the middle overs is what decides matches in this format. Also admits it is an area his side could have sharpened up in the last game. He is hopeful for an improvement this time. On the top order, Gill is happy with how the batting group is shaping up, adding that Rohit looked to be finding good touch as well, which he hopes carries into another strong showing. On the team changes and combinations, he informs that Auqib Nabi is set to make his ODI debut and he is swapped in for Nitish Kumar Reddy.

TOSS - It's time for the coin-flip as both captains make their way out to the middle, with the ever-energetic Ravi Shastri presenting the toss. Shubman Gill gives it a flick and Shai Hope calls 'Heads' but it comes down as 'Tails'. India have elected to BOWL first.

Just in - A special moment for Auqib Nabi who has received his maiden international cap from KL Rahul. The pacer from Jammu and Kashmir is now set to make his ODI debut, marking a memorable moment in his international career.

West Indies need to build on their starts - West Indies have plenty to take from the way they began the opening game, with their openers putting together a strong platform and Justin Greaves going on to score his maiden ODI century. However, he has been ruled out of this game due to a calf injury, leaving a big hole to fill. The challenge now is for the middle order to capitalise on those starts and carry the momentum through the innings, while the bowlers will need to find a way to put India under sustained pressure. Stay tuned for toss and other updates.

India aim to seal the series - The hosts will take confidence from their start to the series and will be keen to carry that momentum into a different venue. Shubman Gill's side have several players looking to make the most of their opportunities, while Virat Kohli will also be looking to build on his century in the opener after reaching the landmark of 15,000 ODI runs. India will be keen to put together another all-round performance and take an unassailable lead.

Round two in Guwahati - Welcome to the Barsapara Stadium in Guwahati, where India and West Indies meet for the second ODI of the three-match series. India come into the contest with a 1-0 lead after an emphatic eight-wicket win in Thiruvananthapuram, and they now have the opportunity to wrap up the series with a game to spare. West Indies, meanwhile, must find a response to keep the series alive after letting a strong start slip away in the opener.

... MATCH DAY ...

East bound - The caravan has moved to Guwahati, with India keen to put the series to bed before it moves on to New Chandigarh, while West Indies look to force a decider. A win at Barsapara Cricket Stadium would give India a 14th straight ODI series win over the Windies. It would also be a 5th straight series defeat in the format for the Men in Maroon, who failed to secure automatic qualification for next year's ODI World Cup and are set to feature in the Qualifiers. Class up top - The top order simply hasn't had an off day in a while. Shubman Gill has crossed fifty in 7 of his 9 ODI innings in 2026 and will walk into this one full of confidence after his century in the opener. Rohit Sharma is holding down his end nicely too, while Virat Kohli's 55th ODI century took him past 15,000 ODI runs. More tellingly, his 9 sixes in that innings were a career high for a single ODI knock, suggesting a continued evolution in his strike-rate profile at 37. Guwahati has been a happy hunting ground for this pair before. When India last faced the Windies here in 2018, both Rohit and Kohli hit hundreds as India chased down 323 with ease. Kuldeep finds his mojo - Kuldeep Yadav is the story coming into this one. Having played just 5 of India's 10 ODIs this year, he finally got his chance in the opener and responded with a four-wicket haul that sparked India's turnaround. Mohammed Siraj did not feature in the series opener, which raised a few eyebrows given his recent lack of rhythm and the fact that he is the kind of bowler who benefits from regular game time. Whether he can find a place in the side remains to be seen. Nitish Kumar Reddy continues to be the player India are looking at as a backup option for Hardik Pandya, given his fitness concerns. Taking the new ball did not quite work for him in the opener, but he did a decent job when he returned for his later spells and will be hoping to build on that here. Need more with the bat - The Windies' top order has shown it can match India stride for stride, and the 135-run opening stand in the opener was proof of that. The bigger question is what happens once that platform is set, with the middle order having struggled to build on strong starts. Shai Hope remains their most dependable batter, but he has been short of runs lately and will be looking to draw on all his experience. Justin Greaves, batting in a new role as opener, thrived with a maiden ODI century, but his availability remains a concern after picking up a right-leg issue. If he is not fit enough, that could open the door for Sherfane Rutherford to come in. Fixing the attack - Dropping Gill on 11 proved very costly for the Windies, but the bigger concern was that they lacked potency with the new ball. Matthew Forde's gentle floaters did not pose any kind of threat, and in hindsight they would have been better off starting Alzarri Joseph with the new ball, sharing the attack with Jayden Seales. Whether they make that switch remains to be seen. Shamar Joseph was seen on the sidelines wearing a mask, which could mean he is under the weather. If that is the case, his availability for the next game will be worth keeping an eye on. India's Kuldeep Yadav showed the worth of having a wrist spinner in the side, while West Indies' own wrist spinner, Vitel Lawes, sat on the sidelines watching on. Having Lawes in the side could have given West Indies the X factor they were missing, and his presence in Guwahati could make a real difference. Form (Last 5 completed ODIs, most recent first) - IND - WLLWW | WI - LWLLL. Conditions check - Two men's ODIs have been played here before, with India winning both. Men's ODI cricket returns to Guwahati for the first time since 2023, though the venue hosted matches at last year's Women's ODI World Cup. Those games saw run-scoring prove a little challenging, but the IPL earlier this year offered much better batting conditions. Chasing could once again be the preferred option, although there could be more help on offer for the new ball under lights than in the afternoon. Who are you backing to come out on top?
