One-day international, Cuttack: India 189 (48.2 overs) v West IndiesHere are the Live Scores.
Daren Powell took 4-27 in a single, miserly 10-over spell as West Indies bowled India out for 189 in the second one-day international in Cuttack.
Powell dismissed Sourav Ganguly (13), Rahul Dravid (22), Sachin Tendulkar for a duck and all-rounder Joginder Sharma to have the hosts 69-6 at one point.
Dinesh Karthik (63) and Ajit Agarkar (40) put on 62 for the eight wicket.
But Ian Bradshaw returned to make Karthik his second victim and the rest of the order fell away in 48.2 overs.
Standing in while Brian Lara rested a knee problem, Chris Gayle lost his first toss as West Indies captain.
But things went well from there with just enough movement available for the seam bowlers, accompanied by a little uneven bounce.
Left-armer Bradshaw struck first when he had Gautam Gambhir caught down the leg side but it was Powell's introduction in the ninth over that really did the damage.
Ganguly fell to his fourth ball, working a shorter ball off his hips to short midwicket.
Tendulkar lasted just six deliver is before misjudging an off-cutter and lobbing a catch to mid-on.
And Dravid's 34-ball knock, which included four boundaries, was ended by an impressive slower ball that saw him play down the wrong line.
Dangerman Mahendra Dhoni perished to an ill-advised push that gave a return catch to medium-pacer Dwayne Smith.
And Powell finished his day's work by inducing Sharma - brought into the side for Suresh Raina - to play on.
