Amazing stuff this at the fag end of an intense test. Jumps back in his crease next up and works the single on the on side with the turn. We had thought if we got 20-30 within their first innings total it would be good.
Pujara didn't trouble the scorers much as he was dismissed for a duck but Ajinkya Rahane along with Rahul took the hosts home without any more damage. Matt Wade came out and played out Ash's remaining deliveries in the previous over with men around the bat, hovering, chattering.
ABOUT COOKIES - There was a situation where we could not afford to lose too many wickets. They batted brilliantly for them.
Windies showed great fight. Beautiful partnership between Shai Hope and Hetmyer and in the end it was a fair result. I'm pretty proud of my milestone. It's something we decided pre-game. In big tournaments we might me batting first and we have to embrace every challenge that comes our way. The pitch was drastically different, we put up a challenge in front of us today and luckily we got the draw and we will take it happily. When the run rate fell under six I thought they had good chance. I'm sure everyone enjoyed and the Windies deserved a draw at least and I think we deserved a draw too. Rayudu is someone we are looking at as a permanent number four. He is in good momentum and good form and Shai has got great talent. They took on us and didn't give us any chance whatsoever. Congrats to him on reaching 10,000 runs. Hope is a young talent and he played a magnificent knock. Hetmyer was upset that he got out in a crucial stage and we had a very good chance. But it was very good to see Shai bat till the end. I thought it was around par, and it's very good to see that we had two consistent games in a row. Obviously we could have picked a few more wickets in the middle overs. McCoy is one of those guys who has a lot of variations. Quite effective at that stage of the game and I like the way he handled himself in his maiden game. It's really good to see him come in and perform that way.

India will be led by Virat Kohli while Jason Holder will lead the charge for Windies in the 2nd ODI in Visakhapatnam. Preview: A record-shattering Virat Kohli became the quickest to reach 10,000 ODI runs on his way to slamming yet another century as India notched up a competitive 321 for six in the second match against the West Indies here Wednesday. Kohli fired 157 off 129 balls, while Ambati Rayudu, who is seen as the answer to the team's persistent problems at the number four slot by none other than the Indian captain himself, made a fluent 73 off 80 deliveries. Kohli hit 13 boundaries and four sixes. During their stay in the middle, the two were involved in a partnership of 139 runs in 142 balls for the third wicket at the Dr YSR ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium, set amidst picturesque hills. While he acknowledged the fans' applause by raising his bat after reaching the 10k landmark, the crowd was on its feet again when Kohli creamed Marlon Samuels to the cover boundary to bring up his century, his 37th in this format. Kohli pulled, cut, flicked and drove in the manner he does best before cutting loose towards the end. A six down the ground off debutant left-arm pacer Obed McCoy brought up 1,000 runs for him in the calendar year in only 11 innings, again the quickest of all time. He then deposited McCoy over long-on for another maximum and in the next over, smashed Roach for a six and two fours to power his team past 300. Batting first after winning the toss, India were off to a poor start when Rohit Sharma 4 was dismissed early by Kemar Roach in the fourth over of the day. After the fall of his opening partner, who like Kohli entered the game on the back of a big hundred in the series-opener, Shikhar Dhawan continued to find the fence a couple of times while playing an upper cut to slice Roach's short ball outside off for a six over the third man. However, Ashley Nurse had Dhawan trapped in front of the wicket after a West Indies review went in their favour. At 40 for two in the ninth over, Rayudu joined his skipper and the two played fluently to keep the run rate healthy. Save the one dropped catch by West Indies skipper Jason Holder at mid-off, Kohli looked untroubled throughout and seemed to be satisfied with the way his partner at the other end, Rayudu, was batting. Earmarked for the critical number four slot through to the 2019 World Cup, Rayudu reposed his skipper's faith by compiling a neat innings that contained eight boundaries. The crowd favourite, Mahendra Singh Dhoni, walked in to a rousing reception and was bowled by McCoy, his maiden wicket, for 20. Rishabh Pant also fell quickly, for a 13-ball 17, but Kohli remained strong and shifted gears to launch another onslaught, barely three days after a blazing 140-run knock. Squads: India 12-man squad : Virat Kohli capt , Rohit Sharma, Shikhar Dhawan, Ambati Rayudu, MS Dhoni, Rishabh Pant, Ravindra Jadeja, Yuzvendra Chahal, Kuldeep Yadav, Mohammed Shami, K Khaleel Ahmed, Umesh Yadav. Windies: Jason Holder capt , Sunil Ambris, Devendra Bishoo, Shimron Hetmyer, Shai Hope, Ashley Nurse, Keemo Paul, Rovman Powell, Kemar Roach, Marlon Samuels, Fabian Allen, Chandrapaul Hemraj, Oshane Thomas, Obed McCoy, Kieran Powell.
Live: IND Vs WI 2nd ODI
Short after those two fuller balls, and this servile Handscomb into the pull, nicely controlled, not overhitting it and almost a short arm jab, gets him four. Plays the rest out in defence. Even the ball that got changed was not up to standard. Kohli pulled, cut, flicked and drove in the manner he does best before el loose towards the end. Earmarked for the critical number four slot through to the 2019 World Cup, Rayudu reposed his skipper's faith by compiling a neat innings that contained eight boundaries. Cummins comes round the wicket and bowls it short. Or that an off-spinner, even a quality one sol Nathan Lyon, would end up with 8 for 50. Overall we fought really well and have an opportunity to win the series. Congrats to him on reaching 10,000 runs. Unfortunate, for the Australian skipper -- that one pitched mid-pitch and just refused to get up. Marsh for his part solo to bat defensively, beaten by the last one, grip, bite, turn past the outside edge.
