2nd Test: Campbell, Hope Fifties Help WI Fight Back After Kuldeep Five-for Brings In Follow-on (Ld)
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.
It helped steer the West Indies to near-safety after being asked to surprisingly follow on by India, who had bowled them out for 248 in the first innings, thanks to Kuldeep Yadav’s 5-82. From 35/2 at tea, Campbell and Hope rallied with grit and discipline to ensure this was the first session of the series that decisively went their way, while showing composure and application against spin and pace.
