Pragyan Ojha rips through the West Indies batting and picks up 5-40  •  BCCI

5.6 Mohammed Shami to Gayle, OUT, caught at gully, and Shami's dream run continues. West Indies' big man is gone. It was back of a length, tucked him up for room. There was a little away movement and Gayle poked at it, with very little feet, got the shoulder of the bat and the ball lobbed to the left of gully where Rohit picks up a smart catch
CH Gayle c Sharma b Mohammed Shami 11 (17b 1x4 0x6) SR: 64.70
24.4 Ashwin to Bravo, OUT, he walks! Big outside edge as Dhoni leaps off his feet after collecting a good, sharp catch. It was tossed up on leg stump, so he had to play at that. But this time there was turn and bounce and Bravo's cheery little innings comes to a close
DM Bravo c †Dhoni b Ashwin 29 (63b 5x4 1x6) SR: 46.03
40.4 Ojha to Samuels, OUT, wonderful work from Ojha, plenty of flight once more, not as much turn but some bounce there, at long last the outside edge from Samuels, easy take at slips, Samuels' struggles are over
MN Samuels c Vijay b Ojha 19 (59b 3x4 0x6) SR: 32.20
43.5 Kumar to Chanderpaul, OUT, no 150 on his 150th Test for Chanders (at least on his first essay). Edged and this time Ashwin pouches it well. Peach of a ball from Bhuvneshwar, probably needed something like that to prise him out early, as this one was pitched back of a length on leg and seamed away enough to square him up. A fine nick is taken and Bhuvi this time exults. It was off his bowling that Ashwin dropped Kieran Powell earlier
S Chanderpaul c Ashwin b Kumar 25 (34b 2x4 1x6) SR: 73.52
13.2 Shillingford to Dhawan, OUT, there's the breakthrough against the run of play, Dhawan looks to sweep from well outside off, doesn't connect as well as he needed to, and he holes out to deep square leg, a rare moment to celebrate for West Indies, the crowd likes it as well, you know why
S Dhawan c Chanderpaul b Shillingford 33 (28b 7x4 0x6) SR: 117.85
13.4 Shillingford to Vijay, OUT, the crowd erupts in Wankhede, surely the biggest cheer ever for an Indian wicket at an Indian ground, Shillingford gets the second of the over, as Vijay bat-pads a catch, there's a wait to check on the no-ball, and the cheer just gets louder when Vijay's dismissal is confirmed
M Vijay c Sammy b Shillingford 43 (55b 8x4 0x6) SR: 78.18
