Shikhar Dhawan 38(40)
11.5
K Paul to Dhawan, out Caught by K Powell!! Straight to the man at mid-wicket. Wait! What was that celebration from Paul? Was he trying to mock Dhawan's thigh-five celebration? Dhawan though seems to have taken it sportively and has a cheeky smile on his face and walks off. Another instance of Dhawan not converting his start and India have lost their first wicket. Change of bowling has paid dividends for the Windies as Paul has struck in his opening over. Went short again and the southpaw got carried away a bit and ended up hitting it to mid-wicket. Powell didn't have to move an inch, easily gobbles it up. Dhawan c K Powell b K Paul 38(40) [4s-4 6s-2]

4.6
Roach to Rohit, no run, edged again, same result like a couple of balls back. Doesn't carry to slip. It was on a back of a length and held its line a touch. Outside edge is found, Rohit ensured that he wafted at it with soft hands. Falls in front of first slip

Roach to Dhawan, no run, appeal from Roach for LBW, but there were two sounds. Clearly an inside-edge that saved Dhawan there. Full from round the wicket, swung in late and Dhawan was found playing across the line with a bit of tilted bat face. Thick inside-edge onto his front pad
0.2
Roach to Rohit, 1 run, tramponline-esque bounce for Roach. Climbing from a length and Sharma is surprised by the bounce. Tries to get inside the line and tickle it, ends up getting a slight inside-edge onto his thigh pad and it rolls away behind square
