19:34 hrs ISTPraise for Khaleel
19:28 hrs ISTKhaleel Ahmed has been more impressive today than at any other time I have seen him because he is swinging the ball back into the right hander. Makes a huge difference to the way a batsman approaches the bowler when there is swing

18:31 hrs ISTDream start for India

18:26 hrs ISTWest Indies three down
Another run out and this time, it is Virat Kohli who dismisses Kieran Powell for 4, West Indies 20/3. There was a major misunderstanding between the two batsmen and considering the level of Kohli’s fitness, Powell did not stand a chance.

Yes, this is correct. Lovely ball from Kemar Roach, landing the ball on a length, getting it to seam away, Kohli comes forward, looks to guide it away to third man and edges it behind to the keeper.
Big blow for India, huge boost for Windies
14:53 hrs ISTKohli and Rohit look to consolidate
With Dhawan back in the hut, it is now on skipper Kohli and deputy Rohit to stitch a quality partnership and ensure that the middle-order has a quality platform to take the attack to the Windies bowlers in the death overs. 100 up for the Indians here for the loss of just one wicket.
14:43 hrs ISTConcerted effort to bowl short against Kohli
There is a plan in place, the bowlers are trying to bang the ball in short, there are two fielders placed in the deep for the pull. Will it work?
14:39 hrs ISTKohli on the move
Paul banged the ball in from around the wicket, however, the ball was down the leg side. Kohli swivelled and pulled it away fine, away from the man at deep fine leg

Reflection of a true pitch
The bounce is nice and honest, the batsmen have the pace to work with and thus, they are making merry at the moment. 2 sixes from the openers underline the freedom the batsmen will enjoy today. Work cut out for the bowlers.
13:50 hrs ISTDhawan is being watchful at the moment
He has looked good in the series so far, but the scores have not reflected it. This is a chance for him to dig deep and play an innings of substance
13:40 hrs ISTStat Attack
The Dhawan and Rohit has overtaken Sehwag and Sachin to become the 2nd most successful opening partners for India in ODIs. They have scored 3924 runs in 87 matches.
13:36 hrs ISTLooks a good pitch
Rohit got going with a lofted scythe over point and cover as India are off and running. Dhawan needs to get into the innings as soon as possible
13:25 hrs ISTRohit Sharma and Shikhar Dhawan walk out
India need a good solid start and both Dhawan and Rohit need to dig in and start scoring runs. They have incentives as far the numbers are concerned.
They needs 40 runs to complete 4000 partnership runs in ODIs. Also, if they score 5 more runs, they will move past Virender Sehwag and Sachin Tendulkar to become India’s 2nd most successful opening partners ODIs.
13:08 hrs ISTPlaying XI

13:03 hrs ISTToss: India
Virat Kohli wins the toss and India bat first.
“We are going to bat first. Looks like a nice and hard surface. There is not much of a dew in the second innings which is what we have heard. This is generally a high-scoring ground. We have got more depth in our batting today,” captain says at the toss.
Kedar Jadhav and Ravindra Jadeja replace Rishabh Pant and Yuzvendra Chahal respectively.
12:54 hrs ISTPitch report: Good one to bat on
“It’s a historic ground. First stadium to be bulit across any sport in India. This is a pitch which is always known for batting. Ball comes on pretty nicely to the bat. However, there is bereft of grass on this wicket. The spinners will get good grip. Lots of purchase for the batsmen as well. If the dew is not going to be a factor, India would prefer to chase. I think they will rely on their batting to try and chase whatever Windies will put on the board,” says Sunil Gavaskar.
12:49 hrs ISTChance for Kedar Jadhav to seal his spot
There is no Hardik Pandya in the squad and this is chance Kedar Jadhav should capitalise on. He can chip in with overs in the middle phase and then is a handy batsman lower down the order. Kohli wants an extra option and Jadhav can be that player.
12:39 hrs ISTCricket is back at the Brabourne
A total of 18 Tests, 8 ODIs and a solitary T20I have been played at the Brabourne Stadium. India defeated New Zealand in 1995, the only time they played an ODI here.

“It was a very good performance by the boys. No one gave us a chance when we came but I think we’re showing the public out here that we are here to play,” said Ashley Nurse, who starred in Pune, at the post-match media conference.
The visitors look to be a formidable unit and a team with all the momentum at the moment.
12:03 hrs ISTBhuvneshwar’s struggles this year
In 12 matches this year, Bhuvi has managed to pick up only 9 wickets. Also, he averages 55 and has been picking up wickets with a strike rate of 61.3, which is the worst for him in his career so far.
Virat Kohli would want a far better performance from his senior pro in Mumbai.
11:37 hrs ISTThe MS Dhoni debate
MS Dhoni is averaging 25.20 in 2018 in ODIs – his worst year in terms of batting average. It is the only the second time when his average has come below 40.00, other one was 2016. He does remain an integral member of the ODI setup leading into the World Cup next year, but the seasoned campaigner needs to start scoring runs with the bat sooner rather than later.
11:14 hrs ISTKohli wants more balance
After the loss in Pune, captain Virat Kohli conceded that his side lacked the balance and hence, Kedar Jadhav should walk into the team in Mumbai.
10:48 hrs ISTChance for India to hit back
After the loss in Pune, the Indian team would want to regroup and get the combinations right for the fourth match of the series in Mumbai. The Windies side are no pushovers and Kohli and company need to be at their absolute best to come out on top.
