IND vs WI 2nd ODI Live Score: India steady after losing Rohit early

Easy picking for Pant. Loosener to start with for Odean Smith. It was wide outside off stump, and Pant doesn't miss out. Cuts this half-tracker over the off side for a boundary. (IND: 37/1 in 9.4 overs)

Rishabh Pant opened in all the U19 ODIs he played for India, striking at 110.46. 😬#INDvWI pic.twitter.com/feVT8MRlSM

You can't set a field for this. Bowled at a good length, doesn't have the room for Pant to open his arms but he went hard on it and it gets a thick top-edge that flies wide of Holder at slip, bounces away to the ropes. (IND: 33/1 in 9 overs)

Very interesting that with KL Rahul available, India have chosen to open with Pant. Tells me that there is a move towards looking at Rahul at no 4, where his numbers are good, as a long term option

Shot from Rishabh Pant. It was bowled short from Joseph and Pant pulls this over mid-wicket to bring up his first boundary of the day. (IND: 27/1 in 8 overs)

A cracking shot from Virat Kohli. The width on offer from Kemar Roach and Virat Kohli cuts this away nicely past point for four runs. His second boundary. (IND: 22/1 in 6 overs)

A misfield from Brandon King at the Cover point and Virat Kohli will get his first boundary. India's first boundary as well. King moves late to his right and lets the ball slide through his legs for four. (IND: 16/1 in 5 Overs)

India have lost a wicket early. Rohit Sharma walks back, Kemar Roach with the breakthrough for West Indies. It was bowled just short of a length outside off stump, Sharma pokes at this, and the catch is gobbled by Hope behind the stumps. (IND: 9/1 in 3 Overs)

WICKET - Rohit Sharma c Hope b Roach 5 

Surprise surprise folks! Rishabh Pant has walked out in the middle with Rohit Sharma to open. KL Rahul to bat in the middle order. Interesting decision from Team India. Kemar Roach to start the proceedings for West Indies. 

RISHABH PANT IS OPENING THE BATTING!!!#INDvWI

Captain Kieron Pollard misses out today as a precaution. He has a niggle, which the medical team has been working on for the past couple days. #MenInMaroon #INDvWI pic.twitter.com/kLFOErjrsJ

No Kieron Pollard for West Indies. Nicholas Pooran is the stand-in skipper and he has won the toss and the visitors will field first. Odean Smith replaces Kieron Pollard, who has a bit of niggle. KL Rahul comes back in the plying XI in place of Ishan Kishan.

Deep Dasgupta and Ajit Agarkar on pthe surface: "It is a different pitch, but the dimensions aren't any different. Even covering of grass, could be a bit tacky and could get better to bat under lights. The captain winning the toss could opt to bowl first considering that dew could be a factor.'"
