WI 157-5 (50 ovs) vs India 518-5d | Scorecard

The BCCI has issued an update on Sai Sudharsan: he suffered a minor impact injury on Day 2 while attempting a catch and has been kept off the field today as a precaution. The injury is not serious, and he is under the supervision of the BCCI medical team.

Bumrah returns to the attack with a tidy maiden - good discipline from the pacer, though he's still searching for his first wicket of the match.

Kuldeep continues from the other end. Hope goes back and clips one to deep square leg for a single, while Imlach remains watchful through the rest of the over. Just a run off it - West Indies 153/4 after 48 overs.

Bumrah keeps things tight again. Hope taps one to the left of cover for a single before Imlach drives firmly but straight to the fielder. The rest are solid defensive strokes. Only one run off the over - West Indies 154/4 after 49.

Kuldeep continues. Hope works the first ball for a single, and Imlach follows up by easing one towards mid-off for a quick run - good rotation from the pair.

But Kuldeep hits back immediately! He gets one to rip past Hope's bat - completely deceived by the turn. The ball crashes into the stumps, and Kuldeep lets out a roar of delight.

Hope departs for 36 off 57 balls. West Indies lose their fifth wicket!

Justin Greaves walks in at No. 7. Hes off the mark right away with a single, nudging Kuldeep into the gap. Imlach plays out the rest of the over with solid defence.

Thats the 50th over completed - West Indies 157/5.
