West Indies limp to 211 for 9

Some amateurish running from Danza Hyatt ended the only significant partnership of West Indies' innings, as they crumbled either side of that fourth-wicket stand to finish on 211 for 9 at a raucous Barabati Stadium in Cuttack, according to website cricinfo. Darren Bravo was once again their top scorer, but a mix of rash shot-selection and tight bowling crippled West Indies and put India on course for their 10th straight win at home. India's inexperienced attack had none of the regular members of their World Cup-winning line-up but that didn't prevent an impressive performance. Umesh Yadav and Varun Aaron showed off the pace for which they have made a name, Vinay Kumar's patented away-swinger was on display, and the spinners continued to give the selectors no reason to think of Harbhajan Singh. Bravo and Hyatt had revived West Indies from 52 for 3 after each of India's quick bowlers nipped out a wicket in their first spell. It wasn't the most fluent of stands - R Ashwin dropped a tough caught-and-bowled chance off Bravo, and Hyatt had starting trouble - but they stuck together for more than 16 overs to add 75. Bravo's innings was sprinkled with several easy-on-the-eye boundaries, including a predictably large chunk of runs through cover. Hyatt had more problems early on, needing 36 deliveries to get to double-digits for only the second time in his six ODI innings. Whether he was aware of that or not, he dispatched the next delivery after he reaching 10 for a six.
