In fact, it is a lot better than the previous ODI.14:37 IST:6.6: Prasidh Krishna to John Campbell, Hard length and angling into leg, John Campbell heaves it away wide of deep square leg for a couple of more runs. 22 runs of the over!14:36 IST:6.5: Prasidh Krishna to John Campbell, FOUR! This is just superb batting! Dug into the surface, just outside off. John Campbell stands tall and drags his pull and smashes it over mid-wicket for yet another boundary.14:35 IST:6.4: Prasidh Krishna to John Campbell, Short of a length and on middle, John Campbell rolls his wrists and pulls it wide of deep square leg for a brace.14:34 IST:6.3: Prasidh Krishna to John Campbell, FOUR! Placed to perfection! Back of a length, angling in, John Campbell uses the pace, hangs back and deftly dabs it between short third and first slip for a boundary.14:33 IST:6.2: Prasidh Krishna to John Campbell, FOUR! Campbell on a roll! On a length, angling in from around the stump. This is around off. Campbell heaves it away from the inner half towards the deep backward square leg fence for a boundary.14:33 IST:6.1: Prasidh Krishna to John Campbell, SIX! Top shot! Fuller than a length, around off, John Campbell gets on the front foot, maintains his shape and effortlessly launches it over long off for a cracking six. 50 up for West Indies in just 6.1 overs.14:31 IST:5.6: Auqib Nabi to Shai Hope, Swings down the leg stump line, full in length. Hope flicks it to deep backward square leg. By the time Prasidh sprints to his left from deep fine leg and throws the ball to the keeper, the batters scamper through for a couple of runs.14:30 IST:5.5: Auqib Nabi to Shai Hope, FOUR! Gun-barrel straight! Fuller in length, on the stumps. Hope presents straight bat face and cracks the straight drive, splitting mid off and mid on and once the ball meets the outfield, it just speeds away to the fence.14:29 IST:5.4: Auqib Nabi to Shai Hope, Short of a length and on middle, angling into the body of the batter, Shai Hope tucks it to short mid-wicket.14:29 IST:5.3: Auqib Nabi to Shai Hope, FOUR!

Captain Shai Hope walks in at number 3.14:26 IST:4.6: Prasidh Krishna to Keacy Carty, OUT! TAKEN! A superb grab by Naman Dhir gets India their first breakthrough. Prasidh Krishna serves this one full and just around off, Keacy Carty looks to drive it on the up but way from his body, with the ball stopping on him. His bottom hand comes off the handle and he ends up tamely slicing it towards point, where Dhir dives forward and grabs it inches above the ground. He looks pretty confident but the third umpire is called in to check the fairness of the catch. He has a look from a few different angles and in one of them, it looked like, maybe for a split second, the ball touched the ground, but it was not conclusive enough for the third umpire. West Indies are 37/1.14:27 IST:An umpire's review for a fair catch. Dhir with an absolutely stunning catching attempt there at cover-point. But has he got his fingers wrapped around the ball cleanly? The third umpire deems it a clean catch, with his fingers underneath the ball cleanly. He asks for another angle, but there is no conclusive evidence to suggest that the ball is grounded. So the decision goes in favour of the bowling side. Disappointment for Carty. OUT loads on the giant screen.14:22 IST:4.5: Prasidh Krishna to Keacy Carty, Touch fuller and on off, Keacy Carty blocks it out. Four dots on the trot!14:22 IST:4.4: Prasidh Krishna to Keacy Carty, Hard-length delivery, well outside off.

John Campbell tries to loft it down the ground but gets it off the inside half of the bat. It goes over mid on but Kuldeep Yadav does well to chase after it to stop it. Two more runs added to the total.14:17 IST:3.3: Auqib Nabi to John Campbell, Good length and on middle, John Campbell tucks it towards short mid-wicket.14:16 IST:3.3: Auqib Nabi to John Campbell, FIVE WIDES! Bonus runs! Auqib Nabi errs in line and serves this full but way down the leg side, angling further in. John Campbell gets down and across and tries to paddle it but misses.

Debutant under pressure early on.14:16 IST:3.2: Auqib Nabi to John Campbell, Comes around the wicket, serves this full and on off. John Campbell lobs it off the bottom half of the bat and gets enough to clear mid off, who runs back to collect it. Two taken.14:15 IST:3.1: Auqib Nabi to John Campbell, FOUR! Nice shot! Fuller delivery, around off, shaping away. John Campbell never tries to keep it down and with a good extension of the arms, carves it over cover-point for a boundary.14:14 IST:2.6: Prasidh Krishna to Keacy Carty, Lands this on a good length and around off, holds its line, Keacy Carty offers no shot at it.14:13 IST:2.5: Prasidh Krishna to Keacy Carty, Short of a length and on off, Keacy Carty stays back and pats it down to mid on.14:13 IST:2.4: Prasidh Krishna to John Campbell, Back of a length and around off, John Campbell opens the bat face again and guides it to deep third for a single.14:12 IST:2.3: Prasidh Krishna to John Campbell, On a length and on off, John Campbell opens the bat face and steers it to point.14:11 IST:2.2: Prasidh Krishna to John Campbell, Krishna bends his back and bangs this into the pitch with more effort, on off, gets some extra bounce.

Hits the deck hard, on the fifth stump line, shaping it away. John Campbell has a poke at it but the ball passes close to the outside edge to the keeper. Rohit Sharma at first slip puts in half an appeal, but nothing doing. The keeper, KL Rahul, suggests that the bat hit the pads. And hence, India do not review it. The UltraEdge shows a clear gap between bat and ball. So, a wise decision by Gill and Co. not to send it upstairs.14:07 IST:1.2: Auqib Nabi to John Campbell, Gets away with it! Auqib Nabi nails the wide yorker, outside off, angling it away further. John Campbell throws his bat at it but fails to connect.14:06 IST:1.2: Auqib Nabi to John Campbell, Good-length delivery, around off, angling away. John Campbell leaves it alone. Uh-oh!

Auqib Nabi begins with a fuller delivery, shaping away, Keacy Carty knocks it towards mid off for a quick single.14:06 IST:That was a really disciplined start by 'Skiddy'. Already looks like a sluggish surface, this one. The Baramulla Express, as he is fondly known, Auqib Nabi, the debutant, is set to operate from the other end.14:04 IST:0.6: Prasidh Krishna to John Campbell, Beauty! Prasidh Krishna lands this on a good length and on middle, gets it to jag back in sharply. John Campbell tries to play it from the crease but gets cut in half as the ball zips past the inside edge.14:04 IST:0.5: Prasidh Krishna to John Campbell, On a length and on middle, John Campbell clips it towards square leg.14:03 IST:0.4: Prasidh Krishna to John Campbell, FOUR! Up and over! Prasidh Krishna serves this much fuller, on off. John Campbell takes no half-measures and tries to loft it with a straight bat.

John Campbell leaves it alone as the ball starts to die down and goes on the bounce to the keeper.14:03 IST:All set to get underway in Guwahati, the Gateway to North East India. The two umpires punctually make their way out to the middle. Right after them, the Indian players spring out confidently and take their respective fielding positions. It is a fresh opening pair for the West Indies in the form of John Campbell and Keacy Carty. Daren Ganga on air informs us that this is the 12th opening combination for the Windies in this World Cup cycle. Right then, two slips in place, with Prasidh Krishna ready to steam in with the new ball. Campbell is on strike. Off we go...13:56 IST:Ruturaj Gaikwad (India) - On his form since that hundred against South Africa last year, Gaikwad says that was a long time ago, with plenty of cricket in between, including the IPL, played across different conditions and different batting positions. He admits there is nervousness returning to the international level after a gap, but he feels the last game was a step forward, just getting out there and settling in for a while. On dealing with limited opportunities, he keeps his approach simple, saying it comes down to giving his best whenever the chance to play for India arrives, rather than dwelling on when the next opportunity might come. He concedes it can be tough to process at times, but says the focus has to stay on enjoying the honour of playing for the country. On adapting to batting at number 4, Gaikwad describes it as a real adjustment, having opened in over a hundred first class innings before this. He then explains that middle-order batting at the international level brings its own demands, from rotating strike to picking the right option at the right time, unlike the powerplay where fielders are in, and boundaries come easier. He says the key is adapting to the situation while still backing his own strengths.13:55 IST:PITCH REPORT - Murali Kartik is inspecting the conditions in Guwahati. Starts by describing the conditions as warm and humid, with more heat still to come, in what he calls a high dew zone. He notes that the square boundaries measure 61 meters to one side and 69 meters to the other, and it is 74 meters straight down the ground. Details that both ODIs played here have produced big totals, in excess of 300. Daren Ganga ​​​​​​joins him and calls it a strong batting surface with a history of high scores. He points out more grass on this pitch compared to Trivandrum, which could offer the seamers extra lateral movement. He also adds that the hard, red soil base means the ball should still come on nicely for the batters. Ganga also expects bowlers to target the shorter side to claw back some advantage. Adds that dew will turn heavily in the chasing team's favour later in the innings. Kartik then concludes by relaying the curator's claim that dew has been managed and should not be a major factor.13:48 IST:West Indies (Playing XI) - John Campbell, Keacy Carty, Shai Hope (C/WK), Amir Jangoo, Sherfane Rutherford (In place of Jewel Andrew), Roston Chase, Keemo Paul (In place of Justin Greaves), Alzarri Joseph, Shamar Joseph (In place of Matthew Forde), Jayden Seales, Vitel Lawes (In place of Gudakesh Motie).13:37 IST:India (Playing XI) - Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill (C), Virat Kohli, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Ravindra Jadeja, KL Rahul (WK), Naman Dhir, Auqib Nabi (In place of Nitish Kumar Reddy and On Debut), Kuldeep Yadav, Gurnoor Brar, Prasidh Krishna.13:57 IST:The captain of West Indies - Shai Hope says that they would have definitely bowled first as well. Adds that the coin-toss is a 50-50 always, but here they have another opportunity to put some runs on the board and give their bowlers something to defend. Hope mentions that it is about identifying the areas they need to improve and finding ways to get better. According to him, it is about going out there and playing good cricket and doing the right things. Hope says that the surface looks good and they need to assess quickly and see how to score at the back end. He also informs that they have made four changes but jokingly says he is not going to run his head through them and you can just see the graphics.13:42 IST:The skipper of India - Shubman Gill, on the surface, says there's a bit more grass and that it's a bit patchier as well. So he thinks it will offer a lot more to the pacers. On the last game, Gill is pleased with how his side responded, having come under pressure through the first 20 to 25 overs before fighting back well. He points out that conditions in Guwahati are even more humid and hotter, which he sees as a fresh test for his fast bowlers. On fielding standards, he agrees that intensity in the field during the middle overs is what decides matches in this format. Also admits it is an area his side could have sharpened up in the last game. He is hopeful for an improvement this time. On the top order, Gill is happy with how the batting group is shaping up, adding that Rohit looked to be finding good touch as well, which he hopes carries into another strong showing. On the team changes and combinations, he informs that Auqib Nabi is set to make his ODI debut and he is swapped in for Nitish Kumar Reddy.
