B Kumar to K Powell, OUT! EDGED AND TAKEN! The crowd here erupts as Kumar has struck in the very first over. Powell walks back for a duck and once again Windies are dealt a blow early on. Brilliantly set up that one, after a few inswingers he bowls the away swinger. Lands it on a length around off, Powell goes for the drive away from his body. He also tries to hit it on the up but it is not on a driving length. Not clever so early in your innings and also when the ball is doing a bit. It takes the outside edge and goes towards Dhoni who takes it by diving to his left.

We are all set for the action to begin. The Indian players make their way out to the middle. A surprise at the top as Rovman Powell is opening the innings. Kieran Powell is his partner. Bhuvneshwar Kumar will open the bowling for India. It is overcast here so he might just get some swing. Two slips in place. Here we go...

13:20 (IST) Nov 01

Big news for Indian fans, Rahul Dravid fans in particular. He has been officially inducted into the ICC Hall Of Fame.

13:12 (IST) Nov 01

Indian skipper, Virat Kohli, says they would have bowled first as dew might just play a part later on. Mentions it is overcast so the surface will have something in it in the initial overs and the spinners will come into play later on. informs they are unchanged.

13:11 (IST) Nov 01

Windies skipper, Jason Holder, says the wicket looks a little dry. Mentions they hope to defend after putting up a good score.

Toss - Up goes the coin and it lands in the favor of the Windies. They will bat first.

The Greenfield stadium is all set to host it's first ODI match. This will be the 47th stadium in India to host one. A lot is at stake here. For India they have a chance to seal the series. They have momentum on their side and they would look to carry forward it in this game. Windies on the other hand, will be eager to win here. A victory will see them level the series. It though will be interesting to see if they have recovered from the battering they got in the last game. Who will come out on top? Stay tuned to find out. Welcome to the coverage.

12:19 (IST) Nov 01
All in all, a lot to look forward to as we build-up to the toss that is 40 minutes away.
12:19 (IST) Nov 01
The other notable heads-up for the match is that MS Dhoni, who has been under scrutiny for his struggles with the bat, needs just one more run to complete 10,000 runs for India in ODIs.
12:17 (IST) Nov 01
As far as the venue is concerned, the last time Thiruvananthapuram hosted an ODI was 30 years ago in 1988. Incidentally, it was against the West Indies as well.
12:16 (IST) Nov 01
West Indies haven't beaten India in an ODI series since 2006. In fact, the Windies haven't won two matches in a series against India after 2011. That's how much is riding on this game for the visitors.
12:15 (IST) Nov 01
India lead the series 2-1, with one match ending in a tie, and can't lose the series. But a drawn series, in case West Indies win today, will be a upset for the fancied hosts.
