TOSS NEWS: West Indies win the first toss of the series and Jason Holder says they will bat first.

12:40 pm All in all, a lot to look forward to as we build-up to the toss that is 25 minutes away.

12:39 pm 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.

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.

12:39 pm India lead 2-1, with one match ending in a tie, which means the hosts can't lose the series. But a drawn series, in case West Indies win today, will be an upset for the fancied Virat Kohli & Co.

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.

12:38 pm Good evening and welcome to TimesofIndia.çom's coverage of West Indies' tour of India that has reached the last destination of the ODI leg, with the fifth and final match of the series in Thiruvananthapuram.
