Campbell and Hope's Match-Saving Partnership
Campbell (115) and Hope (103) led West Indies' fightback, sharing a crucial 177-run partnership for the third wicket. Campbell survived a close lbw call against him, reviewing the decision to great success, and celebrated his maiden Test century with a six off Ravindra Jadeja.
Ravindra Jadeja brought India relief by trapping John Campbell lbw, ending the opener's impressive knock that featured three sixes and 12 fours. Shai Hope's composed innings came to an end when he chopped a delivery from Mohammed Siraj onto his stumps.
Kuldeep Yadav then struck with a three-wicket burst, dismissing Roston Chase (40) and Khary Pierre in the same over, rattling the West Indies middle order. Despite this, the West Indies tail showed resilience, putting up a spirited fight.
Justin Greaves and Jayden Seales put up a stubborn 79-run partnership for the final wicket, frustrating India. Greaves remained unbeaten on 50, while Seales scored 32. India's Jasprit Bumrah took three crucial lower-order wickets, while Kuldeep Yadav ended up with an impressive match haul of eight wickets.
Exquisite timing 👌
