2nd Test: Campbell, Hope Smash Unbeaten Fifties As Windies Fight Back, Trail India By 97 Runs
Arun Jaitley Stadium: John Campbell and Shai Hope smashed unbeaten fifties as West Indies produced their most resolute session of the ongoing Test series by reaching 173/2 in 49 overs and trailing India by 97 runs at stumps on day three of the second and final game at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Sunday.
From 35/2 at tea, the final session going wicketless and in the visitors’ favour was down to a spirited response from a side that had been under pressure for much of the tour due to their lack of fight in all departments.
Campbell, who hit a career-best unbeaten 87, and Hope, who broke his drought of fifties by hitting 66 not out, stitched an unbeaten 138-run stand – the first hundred-plus stand by West Indies in Tests this year - to steer the visitors to safety after being asked to follow on by India, who had bowled them out for 248 in the first innings, thanks to Kuldeep Yadav’s 5-82 – his fifth five-wicket haul in the format.
