We are back for the run chase. The Indian players are already out in the middle. The Windies openers, Lendl Simmons and Brandon King are out in the middle too. Deepak Chahar to take the new ball for the hosts.
So, with West Indies most probably already one batsman down (Evin Lewis being stretchered off due to injury), can they chase this total down? They surely possess the firepower to do so and their memories of 2016 can surely give them a much-needed boost. Join us in a while for the second innings.
Ian Bishop has Rohit Sharma down for a quick chat. The Indian opener says that on pitches like these, one needs to back themselves to go for the big shots. Tells that Wankhede is a very good track to bat and all of the batters tried to stay positive. Mentions that West Indies are a dangerous side and hence they wanted to post as much as they can on the board. Feels that the bowlers need to bowl smartly to defend the total. Says that when the West Indies are in the mood, anything can happen so they will try to set the field well and bowl accordingly.
There was not much joy for the West Indies bowlers. Williams, Pollard and Cottrell each got a wicket but all of the West Indies bowlers were smashed all around the park.
