41.6
Thomas to Rohit, 1 run, backs away and tries to finish the game with a slash, but chops it to point
41.5
Thomas to Rohit, FOUR, oh dear! It's really sad to see Thomas bowl a number of full tosses this over, especialluy having impressed with the new ball with pace, swing and bounce. Mid-off is inside the ring, so Rohit just lifted that easily over the infield for four
41.4
Thomas to Rohit, FOUR, paddled away to short fine leg. Thomas goes for the yorker and bowls a low full toss, Rohit gave direction to the ball after moving across the stumps and it goes to the right of the man at 45
41.3
Thomas to Rohit, FOUR, low full toss, Rohit swings across the line, mistimes it as the bat turned in his hands, clears mid-wicket and there is no protection in the deep
41.2
Thomas to Rohit, no run, that's a very good yorker, right at the base of middle stump, Rohit jams it out and smiles at the bowler
41.1
Thomas to Rayudu, 1 run, very full and outside off stump, Rayudu drives it to sweeper cover
39.6
Thomas to Rayudu, 1 run, low full toss on the leg stump, Rayudu flicks it to mid-wicket
39.5
Thomas to Rayudu, SIX, that keen look in the eyes when the bowler was running in explained Rayudu wanted to do something significant this ball. He's jumped down the pitch and smashed this full ball back over the bowler's head for a maximum
39.4
Thomas to Rayudu, no run, fullish delivery outside off stump, Rayudu shoulders arms
39.4
Thomas to Rayudu, wide, short delivery down the leg-side

37.4
Thomas to Rohit, 1 run, guided away to third man
37.4
Thomas to Rohit, wide, at one point earlier today, batsmen where hopping in the crease to handle Thomas' raw pace and bounce, now Rohit is down on his knees almost trying to paddle scoop a 131kph good length delivery down the leg-side. From 146kph to 131odd is a drastic drop in pace from the youngster. What a contrast in such a short span
37.3
Thomas to Rayudu, 1 run, short of length delivery outside off stump, Rayudu dabs it to third man
37.2
Thomas to Rayudu, no run, very full and on the stumps, Rayudu knocks it to mid-wicket

37.1
Thomas to Rohit, no ball, FOUR, oh dear! Poor ball, full and down the leg-side, oh he's overstepped as well. Correction. Not the bowler's fault with the no ball, Windies had only four fielders inside the ring when they needed to have five. Coming back to the ball, Rohit happily glanced to fine leg
23.6
Thomas to Kohli, no run, banged this one half way down the track, Kohli goes on top of the ball and keeps it down to the leg-side
23.5
Thomas to Rohit, 1 run, short of length and at the stumps, Rohit half-pulls it to deep square leg for a single. His backfoot was again in the air when he played that pull shot
23.4
Thomas to Kohli, 1 run, runs it down to third man
23.3
Thomas to Kohli, FOUR, one cannot bisect that gap any better. He is an absolute master in finding the gaps. It was at the stumps, Kohli shuffles slightly to the off-side and whips it brilliantly off the pads. It goes between deep square leg and deep mid-wicket for a boundary
23.2
Thomas to Kohli, no run, short of length delivery, Kohli attemps a pull-shot. He was beaten by the pace and it hits him around thigh pad
23.1
Thomas to Kohli, no run, on a length and at the stumps, Kohli uses bottom hand to keep it down to square leg. It was bowled at 136kmph, his pace has gone down in the second spell
21.6
Thomas to Rohit, FOUR, just a push. Seriously, just a push and that races away to the fence. Class written all over it. He plunges forward and just lets the ball touch his willow. The timing was outstanding, it beats mid-off and runs along the carpet
21.5
Thomas to Kohli, 1 run, on a length and at the stumps, Kohli tucks it to the leg-side
21.4
Thomas to Kohli, no run, on a length and around off, Kohli gets behind the line of the ball and defends it to the off-side
21.3
Thomas to Rohit, 1 run, just a hint of room and Rohit guides it to third man to bring up his 37th ODI fifty. He has played the role of second fiddle to Kohli brilliantly
21.2
Thomas to Rohit, no run, defends it back
21.1
Thomas to Kohli, 1 run, short of length delivery down the leg-side, Kohli helps it to fine leg for a single
7.6
Thomas to Kohli, 1 run, edge found as Thomas bowls even fuller than the previous ball and it draws Kohli forward, pushed away from the body and got away with the edge that flew wide of the cordon to third man
7.5
Thomas to Kohli, no run, the length is much fuller, in the good length zone, so Kohli respects by shouldering arms
7.4
Thomas to Kohli, FOUR, baaang! This is the shot he was trying to play first ball. Short and wide outside off stump, Kohli stays back and absolutely smashes the cut shot over backward point, bounced just inside the rope
7.3
Thomas to Kohli, FOUR, pulled through mid-wicket, not timed well, but well enough to tease both mid-on and mid-wicket to the fence, looked like this short ball caught the toe-end of the bat
7.2
Thomas to Kohli, no run, defended straight back to the bowler
7.1
Thomas to Kohli, no run, beaten! Thomas bangs this on the short of length zone and bowls this at 146kph, thereby getting extra bounce as well. Kohli went really hard on the cut shot with the idea of the ball clearing the cordon even if he happens to edge it
5.6
Thomas to Rohit, SIX, lovely shot! Rohit Sharma is very good with the pull/pick up shot. You got to be really tight with your line when you are bowling with a lot of pace to a player like Rohit. Not sure if it was an intended short ball that wasn't pitched short enough to trouble the batsman, Rohit swivelled and helped it on its way on one leg over long leg
5.5
Thomas to Kohli, 3 runs, he's making the ball to move in the air but the control isn't there yet. Full and outside off stump, Kohli drives along the ground past cover
5.4
Thomas to Kohli, FOUR, this is the downside of pace as well. It's not easy to control the line when you are trying to run in hard to bowl fast. This was a case of Thomas trying to bowl an outswinger from a very straight line to finish close to the off stump, but he ended up bowling down the leg-side, easy flick to deep mid-wicket
5.3
Thomas to Kohli, FOUR, edged, but wide of second slip. Pace with swing is a lethal combo. Gentle away swing on this good length delivery and this pitch should excite any pacer, enough bounce for the ball to push the batsman back, as was the case with Kohli this time, trying to fend off the back foot and getting a thick edge, third man was very wide
5.2
Thomas to Rohit, leg byes, 1 run, thuds into the thigh pad as Rohit misses the flick to this short of length delivery, Kohli calls him for a quick single as the ball rolls towards point
5.1
Thomas to Rohit, no run, overpitched ball on the off stump, Rohit drives it back to the bowler, who half stops the ball, 148kph
3.6
Thomas to Kohli, no run, banged in short and holding its line outside off, Kohli watches it sail through to the keeper
3.5
Thomas to Kohli, no run, back of a length and just outside off, Kohli rides the bounce and keeps it down towards backward point
3.4
Thomas to Kohli, FOUR, too short and straying onto Kohli's pads, all he had to do was to get some bat on that, does so after getting inside the line, flies away to the long leg boundary
3.3
Thomas to Kohli, no run, this is excellent pace from Thomas, short of a length and hodling its line outside off, left alone
3.2
Thomas to Kohli, no run, banged in short and holding its line outside off, at 147 kmph, Kohli drops his gloves and sways away from the line
3.1
Thomas to Kohli, 2 runs, on a length and at the stumps, Kohli prods across, brings his bat across the front pad and then clips it backward of square on the on-side for a couple of runs
1.6
Thomas to Dhawan, out Bowled!! Chopped on! Too pacy and too good for Dhawan, short of a length and angling across the left-hander, Dhawan was cramped for room as he went for the cut, the ball got big on him, found the inside edge and clattered into the middle-stump. The crowd has been silenced, a 147 kmph bullet from Thomas and India have lost their first wicket. Dhawan b Thomas 4(6) [4s-1]
1.5
Thomas to Dhawan, no run, Thomas shortens his length and angles this one back into the left-hander, burst past Dhawan's inside edge as he looked to flick, went off his pads and rolled towards the on-side
1.4

1.3

1.2
Thomas to Dhawan, FOUR, full, wide and four, width on offer from Thomas, at 147 kmph, Dhawan reaches out with his hands and carves it wide of cover-point, was in the air and well in the gap
1.1
