Pooran recovers for West Indies with two boundaries in the next over. Pooran and Shai Hope at the crease. WI are 18/1 after 2 overs.
That was an exciting start to the innings by West Indies. Eventful over for Mayers. Given out LBW, used DRS to survive. Given not out caught behind, India use DRS to get their first wicket. Chahar doesn't relent, strikes early! Mayers nicks one and has to go for 6. A jaffa angled in & swinging away from the left-hander & he couldn't resist poking at it. Easy catch for Ishan. WI are 7/1 after 1 over.

Time for the last over and it starts with a wide. West Indies are not helping themselves. And the next ball is hit for a 6 and SKY brings up his 50 with that shot. And another six. Suryakumar Yadav is just unleashing devastation on the WI bowlers. Too easy for him at this point. Another six follow. Just raining sixes now. And the last ball gets the wicket. IND finish at 184/5 at the end of 20 overs.
19th over starts. Drakes to bowl and is hit straight for a six by SKY in the second ball. Amazing wrist work. Venkatesh Iyer is on strike and another four of Drakes. Four leg byes to follow and another four to end. Biggest over of this innings. 21 off it. IND cruising at 163/4 after 19 overs.
Oh my god!!!! What was that shot? It's just hit to fine leg for a great six by Venkatesh Iyer. KKR must be pretty happy about that. Almost a mirror image of SKY's six. 10 runs off this over. IND 142/4 after 18 overs.
That's a flick down the legside from Venkatesh Iyer and that's a four and he follows that up with a huge six. And that's a four to wrap this over up. 17 runs off this one. IND 132/4 after 17 overs.
That's gone HUGE!!!!!!! Angled across the batter, SKY scoop sweeps it backward of square leg and the ball just sails over the boundary ropes, into the stands. Venkatesh Iyer joins the party and hits a great cover drive for a 4 now. Drakes' second over is vastly different from his first. And the fifth ball is hit for a four as well. 17 off this over. IND 115/4 after 16 overs.
There's now a LBW review on Suryakumar Yadav. Pooran looks very convinced. UltraEdge shows a small spike. That's enough for the third umpire. Surya survives. 15 overs gone. IND struggling to reach 100. 98/4 now.
Dominic Drakes takes Rohit Sharma now. India are in a bit of a mess here. Drakes absolutely cleans him up. Clean bowled. IND lose their skipper. IND 93/4 after 13.5 overs.
What a shot by Yadav. Walsh has been sent to the boundary and that's a four? A six? Yes. It's a six. It's just over deep mid-wicket's ropes and past the diving fielder. IND 78/3 after 11 overs.
That's another gone. Cleaned Kishan up. What a ball. Kishan tried to play it and got only thin air. That's a big wicket. Rohit can just stare and wonder what just happened. IND 66/3 as we go for drinks.
That's a big hit. Tries to take him on and mishits it. It's sliced straight to Holder and he makes no mistake. That's India's second wicket gone. IND 63/2 after 8.3 overs.
Kishan brought up India's 50 in the 7th over with a four and now Shreyas has hit a four. And the 50 run partnership is up for them. IND 61/1 after 8 overs.
Now Shreyas Iyer has joined the boundary bandwagon. Back to back fours to Holder now. Exquisite stuff. 10 off this over. India 37/1 after 5 overs.
Ishan Kishan is now taking it to Shephard. Back to back fours in the 4th over. That's the highest priced player you are watching in action now. And that's another four. Expensive over. 12 off it. IND 27/1 after 4 overs.
And that's gone. Holder takes Ruturaj. He is caught by Mayers. Very uncharacteristic shot selection by Rutu. IND 10/1 after 2.3 overs.
Second over starts and Ruturaj joins the party. Pierces the gap this time around, slapping it in between point and cover. Shepherd can just watch it zoom towards the boundary. IND 9/0 after 2 overs.
And we start with a four. What a shot by Kishan. Placed it in the gap at fine leg. IND 5/0 after 1 over.
Here we go!!! Ruturaj Gaikwad and Ishan Kishan are at the crease. Ruturaj Gaikwad is on strike. Holder will open the attack
