Highlights, India vs West Indies,  2nd ODI: Hello and welcome to our coverage of the 2nd ODI between India and West Indies from Trinidad. The Men in Blue are all set to continue their domination in ODI cricket and with the sun out in Trinidad today, we will get to see plenty of action. The 1st ODI was abandoned due to excessive rain but the 2nd ODI can be the decider. The Men in Blue will look to go unchanged whereas West Indies will opt to do the same since there wasn't much cricket played in the 1st ODI. (Match Scorecard)

India beat West Indies by 59 runs (DLS)

* Chasing 280 in the allotted 50 overs. The hosts got off to a slow but steady start. Lewis was the commander-in-chief and he was the star batter for the men from the Caribbean Islands. Hope and Gayle departed when the score just crossed 50. Lewis though then steadied the ship with Hetmyer but then a rain delay saw the target being reduced to 270 in 46 overs. Hetmyer once again failed to convert his start and fell against the run of play. Evin though continued his good work , scoring a 50 in the process. His 56-run stand with Pooran tipped the match in West Indies favour but once he departed the other followed suit and from 148/ the West Indies bundled out under 210.

03.43 IST: Mohammed Shami to Oshane Thomas, OUT! That is the end of the game! Shami picks the last wicket. He goes full and straight on middle, too good for the number 11. He looks to jam it out but fails to do so. The ball hits the pad. A huge shout, the umpire thinks and raises the finger. INDIA WIN BY 59 RUNS!

03.40 IST: Mohammed Shami to Sheldon Cottrell, OUT! Another excellent catch! India have been outstanding in the field today and that will be a big factor if they win the game today. First wicket for Shami. A short one on the body, Cottrell looks to pull it over the leg side but gets a top edge as he is rushed into the shot. It goes over point. Jadeja runs back and takes a very good catch. India a wicket away now.

03.35 IST: Bhuvneshwar Kumar to Jason Holder, Good length delivery on middle, Holder comes down the track but gets an inside edge to the pads. Another dot ball.

03.20 IST: Bhuvneshwar Kumar to Sheldon Cottrell, A nasty ball! This is shorter and just outside off, Cottrell hangs his bat out. He seems to have missed it.

03.16 IST: Bhuvneshwar Kumar to Kemar Roach, OUT! BOWLED 'EM! The Windies are falling like a pack of cards here. This is on a length and around off, Roach looks to defend but he gets an inside edge which hits the stumps behind. India two wickets away now.

03.10 IST: Ravindra Jadeja to Carlos Brathwaite, OUT!  Another one bites the dust! West Indies have fallen apart completely. Carlos Brathwaite walks back for another low score. The bowling change once again does the trick for the visitors. This is on middle, Brathwaite looks to go against the turn as he tries to heave. The ball though turns away and an outside edge is produced which goes straight to short third man. Shami takes a dolly. India's game to lose now. 91 needed in 60 balls.

03.06 IST: Bhuvneshwar Kumar to Roston Chase, OUT! That is an absolute stunner from Bhuvneshwar Kumar! This over is probably the game changing over. What a masterstroke by Kohli to get Bhuvneshwar Kumar on. Two wickets from this one. He bowls it on a length and around off, Chase looks to work it on the leg side but closes the face of the bat early. It goes off the leading edge to the left of the bowler who sticks his hand out and the ball sticks. Two extremely good catches, one by the skipper and the other by Kumar has changed the tide in India's favor.

03.04 IST: Bhuvneshwar Kumar to Nicholas Pooran, OUT! CAUGHT! The bowling change has done the trick! Another set batter is out of here. India once again manage to take a timely wicket.

Kohli takes it nicely.

02.56 IST: Mohammed Shami to Nicholas Pooran, FOUR! Misfield! Nothing going right for Shami at the moment. An expensive over by him. This is short and on the body, Pooran pulls it towards short fine leg. He fails to stop it and the ball races away to the fence. 95 needed in 78. Momentum on the hosts' side and they are favourites now.

02.51 IST: Khaleel Ahmed to Nicholas Pooran, Top, top effort in the field again! It is Jadeja again. Shorter and around off, Pooran guides it towards point where Jadeja dives to his left and stops it. Tidy over by Khaleel. 105 needed in 84. Run rate now 7.5.

02.20 IST: Kedar Jadhav to Evin Lewis, A very confident appeal by the Indians but the umpire waves it away. NO review left too. This is quicker and fuller outside off. Lewis looks to play it off the back foot through the off side. There is some noise as the ball passes the bat. Pant takes it and appeals but the umpire shakes his head. He indicated, the noise was of the bat hitting the ground.

02.16 IST: Kuldeep Yadav to Nicholas Pooran, SIX! He has picked the bones out of that one! What a sound that made of the bat. WOW! A freebie yes, but it still has to be put away.

02.12 IST: Kedar Jadhav to Evin Lewis, Fifty for Lewis! 6th ODI half century and first against India. It has been a bit of a struggle out there for him as he has struggled with a calf injury but has played really well. Needs to continue though. He gets there by playing this late and towards short third man for one. West Indies 115/3 in 22.3 overs

02.11 IST: Kedar Jadhav to Evin Lewis, FOUR BYES! Bonus runs! Poor by Pant there. This is very full outside off, Lewis lets it be. Pant is lazy in going down there and the ball sneaks through his legs and goes to the third man fence.

01.44 IST: Kuldeep Yadav to Shimron Hetmyer, FOUR! That has been hit with a lot of power! Smashed! Very full and on off, Hetmyer lines it up and hits it hard through covers. You need not run for those.

01.41 IST: Kuldeep Yadav to Shimron Hetmyer, Good shot but only for a run! Shorter in length and outside off, the batsman guides it through point for one.

* The physio is out yet again! Lewis needs to be treated. The physios do their job and Lewis will continue. He might be struggling with cramps.

01.38 IST: Mohammed Shami to Evin Lewis, FOUR! In the gap! Lovely pull shot. But Lewis has once again done some damage to himself. This is short and on the body, Lewis swivels and pulls it through backward square leg for a boundary. He is taking a minute for himself as he is seen holding his leg. He is fine to go now.

* We are all set to resume now! The players make their way out to the middle. Shimron Hetmyer and Evin Lewis will resume their innings. Khaleel will continue his over.

* Update 15.51 local - We have news for you, the game should start at 1600 local which is around 9 minutes from now. However, overs have been deducted. It is now a 46 over game and the target is 270.

* Update 15.34 local - It has stopped raining and the covers are slowly coming off. The umpires are on the ground and appear to be pleased with the ground conditions. It won't be too long before we get underway again.

00.52 IST: Khaleel Ahmed to Shimron Hetmyer, NOT OUT! Nothing on Ultra Edge! India too lose their review. This is on a length and outside off, Hetmyer looks to drive but misses. Pant takes it and appeals but the umpire shakes his head. Pant wants it to be reviewed and Kohli does so. Upstairs they go but replays show nothing.

00.50 IST: Khaleel Ahmed to Evin Lewis, Top edge but safe! Shortish and on middle, Lewis looks to pull but the bounce gets big on him. He gets a top edge which lands in no man's land in the square leg region. One taken.

00.47 IST: Khaleel Ahmed to Shai Hope, OUT! Drags it on! How many times since the World Cup have we seen Hope being dismissed in this manner? Khaleel gets his first. This is shorter and outside off, Hope stands tall and looks to force it through the off side but due to the slowness of the wicket, he gets an inside edge which shatters the stumps behind.

00.42 IST: Kuldeep Yadav to Shai Hope, Almost! This is slightly flatter and around off, it turns back in too. Hope just about gets his bat down. It goes off the inner half towards square leg for one.

00.36 IST: Bhuvneshwar Kumar to Evin Lewis, Shorter in length and outside off, Lewis goes hard at it but it goes off the inner half towards mid on. End of Powerplay 1. The game is evenly poised after the first 10. West Indies are 46 for 1 after it.

* Shai Hope is the new man in.

00.34 IST: Bhuvneshwar Kumar to Chris Gayle, OUT! That is plumb in front! A waste of a review to be honest! Gayle walks back to the hut and also takes a review along with him. India needed this breakthrough and they have got it. Kumar bowls it fuller around leg stump. It pitches and jags back in. Gayle fails to put bat on ball. An appeal follows and the finger goes up. Gayle reviews. Replays roll in and they show three reds.

00.31 IST: Bhuvneshwar Kumar to Evin Lewis, FOUR! Width on offer to Lewis and he will surely make you pay. Full and outside off, Lewis throws his bat at it. Gets it through cover-point and the ball races away.

00.28 IST: Khaleel Ahmed to Chris Gayle, FOUR! Cracked away! Width on offer and Gayle makes the bowler pay. Shorter and outside off, Gayle slashes at it, gets it through point and the ball races away to the fence.

00.26 IST: Khaleel Ahmed to Chris Gayle, That is the record! Gayle is now the highest scorer in ODIs for West Indies. Truly a legend. He gets there by guiding it down to third man for one. A round of applause for him, even the Indian skipper has acknowledged the effort by the big man.

00.24 IST: Bhuvneshwar Kumar to Evin Lewis, FOUR! Poor ball and put away! Exactly what Lewis is doing, waiting for the bad balls and ensuring he makes them count. This is short and on the body, Lewis pulls it fine on the leg side and spoils the over.

00.21 IST: Bhuvneshwar Kumar to Chris Gayle, A single and Gayle moves level with Lara as the highest run-scorer for West Indies in ODIs. He works it through square leg to get to that milestone.

00.17 IST: Khaleel Ahmed to Evin Lewis, EDGY FOUR! No slip in place and Lewis gets away with that. A good delivery this. It is on a length and it takes off after pitching. Lewis hangs his bat out. The ball flies off the outside edge to the third man fence.

* The physio is out to have a look at Lewis. He seems to be struggling with his right leg. Also, Khaleel Ahmed is on now.

00.11 IST: Mohammed Shami to Evin Lewis, A dot to end! So just the boundary from the over. On middle, Lewis pushes it back to the bowler.

00.08 IST: Mohammed Shami to Evin Lewis, FOUR! First one of the innings! Slightly shorter and outside off, Lewis slashes at it. He gets it past point and the ball races away to the fence.

00.05 IST: Bhuvneshwar Kumar to Chris Gayle, FIVE WIDES! Bad bounce there for Pant! Not an easy take for him. A slower ball and down the leg side, Gayle looks to flick it but misses. The ball bounces in front of Pant and it goes past him for a boundary.

00.01 IST: Mohammed Shami to Chris Gayle, Well bowled! This starts around off and comes back in late. Gayle does well to take his front leg out of the way and works it back to the bowler.

23.56 IST: Bhuvneshwar Kumar to Evin Lewis, SIX! Evin Lewis has nailed that. He just loves it there. Saw that a few times in the first ODI. It is short and on the body, Lewis swivels and pulls it over the backward square leg fence for a biggie. First of this innings.

23.51 IST: Mohammed Shami to Evin Lewis, Good shot again! This is fuller again on middle, Lewis strokes it straight to mid off. That was right off the middle.

23.49 IST: Bhuvneshwar Kumar to Chris Gayle, A good nut to end! This is on off and it slants away. Gayle plays inside the line and lets ti be.

23.45 IST: Bhuvneshwar Kumar to Chris Gayle, Gayle is off the mark and so are the Windies! Kumar bowls it on a length and outside off, Gayle guides it down to third man and takes one.

* Welcome back for the chase, Chris Gayle and Evin Lewis are in the middle

* After opting to bat, India were off to a horrible start as they lost Shikhar Dhawan in the very first over itself. But then walked skipper, Virat Kohli a.k.a King Kohli. He was on it from the word go and he first put up a 74-run stand with Rohit Sharma where Virat was the aggressor. But once Sharma departed Pant too followed the suit. It looked like there would be another collapse but Kohli along with the returning, Shreyas Iyer steadied the ship and added a stupendous 125-run stand for the 4th wicket stand. Kohli got to his 42nd hundred in the process.

* Brilliant comeback from the West Indies bowler. Just 7 off the last over and 29/3 in the last 5 overs has seen them restrict India to well under 300.

23.14 IST: Carlos Brathwaite to Mohammed Shami, Back of a length ball on off, Shami pulls it wide of deep mid-wicket and gets a couple. The fielder has a shy at the keeper's end but Shami is quick to cover his ground. INDIA FINISH WITH 279/7 IN THEIR 50 OVERS!

22.27 IST: Good news! The rain has stopped. So we should not be far away from the resumption.

* Once again in this series rain has come to spoil the fun. It has started to rain and the players are off the field. If the weather forecast is to be believed then it won't be a long delay. Let us hope that it is not a lengthy delay.

22.10 IST: Sheldon Cottrell to Kedar Jadhav, FOUR! Superb shot from Jadhav. Shorter on his hips, Jadhav rocks back to pull it over mid-wicket to get his first boundary.

21.16 IST: Kemar Roach to Shreyas Iyer, EDGED AND FOUR! Lucky for the batsman but this is one of those instances where you feel sorry for the bowler.

Kohli looks to push it on the off side but the ball takes the inside edge and goes fine towards the backward square leg fence for a boundary. IND 12/1 in 1.3 overs

19.10 IST: Kemar Roach to Virat Kohli, FOUR! Roach is welcomed with a gorgeous cover drive. Good length ball around off, Kohli gets on his front foot and drives it on the up through covers to score the first boundary of the game. IND 8/1 in 1.1 overs

* Indian skipper, Virat Kohli walks out at number 3.

19.06 IST: Sheldon Cottrell to Shikhar Dhawan, OUT! Excellent review! West Indies took their time but they have overturned the decision successfully. Cottrell bowls it fuller and after the first two nipped away this one came back in. Dhawan looks to push it straight but the inward movement beats him and he gets hit flush on the pads. IND 2/1 in 0.3 overs

19.04 IST: Sheldon Cottrell to Shikhar Dhawan, India are underway! Length ball closer to the off pole. Dhawan punches it through cover-point. Hetmyer and Pooran run from cover and point respectively. Pooran dives and pulls it back before the ropes. Saves two for his side.

19.03 IST: We are all set to begin! Chris Gayle is seen holding a scorecard reading 300. His team clapping in the background. The West Indies players then in a huddle before they take their respective positions in the field. Out walk the Indian opening pair of Shikhar Dhawan and Rohit Sharma. The former will take the strike. Sheldon Cottrell to start the proceedings with the first new ball. Let's get started!

Brief Preview: After rain playing spoilsport in the first ODI of the three-game series in Guyana, India and West Indies have moved to the Queen's Park Oval for the second game and both teams will be looking to start on the attack after a washed-out opening game. Interestingly, Chris Gayle has been ignored for the Test series, so this game and the last one at the same venue could be the last couple of times that one sees the legend take the field on the international stage.
