December 2, 2011 - India v West Indies, 2nd ODI, Visakhapatnam

Kanya | 04:35 |

Umesh Yadav had Adrian Barath caught behind in the second over, after India chose to bowl


Yadav tested the batsmen repeatedly in helpful conditions, and picked up two more top-order wickets

At the other end, Vinay Kumar knocked over a couple to reduce West Indies to 63 for 5


Lendl Simmons was the only top-order batsman who stood firm amid the carnage

... but was dismissed after two consecutive sixes off R Ashwin

Simmons, meanwhile, got to 1000 ODI runs and a half-century

After Simmons was run out, Ravi Rampaul played some aggressive cricket

Coming in at 149 for 8, he smacked 86 not out off 66 balls to lift West Indies - this was a record score for a No. 10 batsman in ODIs

Kemar Roach held up the other end

Roach and Rampaul put on 99 - the third-highest 10th-wicket stand in ODIs - to take West Indies to a very competitive 269 for 9

Virat Kohli, though, hung around

Kohli steadied the chase, hitting a ton in a solid stand ...

... with Rohit Sharma that set up a close finish

Rohit got to his fifth half-century in his last seven outings against West Indies, as India got home with five wickets and 11 balls to spare despite a late hiccup
