OUT! It's a two-ball duck for Virat Kohli, as he ends up getting a feather edge while poking at full delivery going down leg. That's the second time Joseph's struck in his second over. IND 16/2

After 3 overs,India 16/0 ( Rohit Sharma (C) 13 , Shikhar Dhawan 0)
Shikhar Dhawan’s on strike for the first time in this series, and he’s in no hurry to get off the mark as he sees through Roach’s second over, in which the senior pacer concedes a couple of wides.

After 2 overs,India 14/0 ( Rohit Sharma (C) 13 , Shikhar Dhawan 0)
Alzarri Joseph steams in from the other end with the other new ball in hand. Rohit, though, continues to make merry against pace, pulling the short-of-length ball first up behind square, before flicking a full delivery through midwicket two balls later, collecting a boundary on each occasion. Nine from the over, with Joseph having conceded a wide off the third ball. India are off to a superb start.

After 1 over,India 5/0 ( Rohit Sharma (C) 5 , Shikhar Dhawan 0)
FOUR! Top start for the hosts as Rohit cuts a short, wide ball from Roach through point to collect a boundary off the first ball. The visitors waste a review after an unsuccessful LBW appeal two balls later, the ball hitting Rohit above the knee roll and HawkEye showing the ball to be going over leg stump. The India captain collects a single off the last delivery to keep the strike.
13:36 (IST)
Shikhar Dhawan is back and is once again opening alongside Rohit Sharma! The players take the knee before Kemar Roach gears up to bowl the first over of the day. An early strike is what the Windies need if they are to restrict the hosts below 200.

Teams:
India: Rohit Sharma (c), Shikhar Dhawan, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, Suryakumar Yadav, Rishabh Pant (wk), Washington Sundar, Deepak Chahar, Kuldeep Yadav, Mohammed Siraj, Prasidh Krishna
West Indies: Shai Hope (wk), Brandon King, Darren Bravo, Shamarh Brooks, Nicholas Pooran (c), Jason Holder, Fabian Allen, Odean Smith, Alzarri Joseph, Hayden Walsh, Kemar Roach
13:10 (IST)
Nicholas Pooran: We were going to bowl first today. Hopefully we can correct our mistakes from the second game today. Batsmen have definitely given us some chances. Game changes in a couple of balls. Win those important moments. One forced change: Akeal Hosein is out, and Hayden Walsh replaces him.
13:10 (IST)
Rohit Sharma: Not too much thought about this. You cannot really plan for dew. You just have to do what you want to achieve. We just want to post runs on the board and then see what happens. We’ve got three changes: KL misses out, Hooda and Chahal miss out. Kuldeep, Shreyas and Shikhar in place of these guys (forgets to mention Chahar replacing Thakur).
13:06 (IST)
TOSS: India win the toss, and skipper Rohit Sharma opts to bat!
12:53 (IST)
Deep Dasgupta and Ajit Agarkar analyse the Motera pitch:
DD: The pitch will be the same as the last ODI, so the dimensions will be the same. Looks like a great surface.
AA: Looks quite good and hard. Fast bowlers got a lot of bounce. Bit of turn for the spinners. May not be as steep for the faster bowlers today, looks a little whiter in colour, but will still help the pacers. Might be better for batting today.

"Personally, like I said, I have been putting in the yards and trying to do this for quite some time now, so I am glad it happened," said seamer Prasidh Krishna after the 2nd ODI, in which he helped the Men in Blue clinch the ODI series with outstanding figures of 9-3-12-4.

Hello and welcome to our live coverage of the third one-day international between India and West Indies at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Motera, Ahmedabad. India have already clinched the series and will hope to make it 3-0 in Rohit Sharma's maiden assignment as the full-time ODI captain.
India vs West Indies, Live Cricket Score, 3rd ODI Today's Match Updates: India suddenly have two batters at the crease who are yet to open their accounts, as Joseph helps the Windies seize control after removing Rohit and Kohli in a space of three balls, the latter falling for a two-ball duck. How things have turned in an over!
After having gained an unassailable 2-0 lead in the ongoing three-match series, Rohit Sharma-led Team India would look to win the final ODI to register a series sweep.
India and West Indies will lock horns in the third and final ODI at the Narendra Modi Stadium on Friday.
Heading into the final game, all eyes would be on Virat Kohli's form. So far in the series, Virat has been below-par as he recorded scores of 8 and 18 and the wait for century number 71 is growing day by day. The batter needs to stay true to his instincts as in the ongoing series, the batter has looked to be in a rush.
This has never been the case with Virat but probably lack of a big score is now getting to the former skipper as well.
A good talk with head coach Rahul Dravid and captain Rohit might just be the need of the hour for Virat as the Men in Blue definitely need their star batter at his best.
In the second ODI, India promoted Rishabh Pant as an opener, the move might not have worked, but it is a positive sign as the team finally showed an aggressive mindset.
KL Rahul and Suryakumar Yadav were impressed with the bat but the overall score remained below-par as Men in Blue posted just 237 on the board.
The bowling side of things took care of itself and Prasidh Krishna bowled a probing spell and broke the back of Windies chase.
The hosts would expect the same to happen in the final ODI. West Indies' batting has been lacklustre so far in this series, and they have not been able to help out their bowlers.
Kieron Pollard missed the second game due to a niggle and it is not known whether he would return for the final ODI on Friday.
