New Delhi: In the final session of Day 3 of the second Test against the West Indies, India remain firmly on course for a clean series sweep. Men in Blue lost the wicket of opener Yashasvi Jaiswal quite early, but with a modest target of 121, they can chase it down comfortably. The visitors were bowled out for 390 in their second innings, setting India up for an easy finish.
Mohammed Siraj and Kuldeep Yadav were the standout bowlers, each claiming three wickets to break the resistance of a stubborn lower order. Men in Blue, who declared their first innings at 518/5, will begin Day 4 with Sai Sudharsan and KL Rahul at the crease, needing just 58 runs- a target well within reach in the opening session.
The West Indies innings was defined by a determined fight from John Campbell and Shai Hope. The pair shared a 177-run third-wicket stand which showcased their patience, grit and resilience in pressure situation. Campbell completed his maiden Test century while Hope scored his first in eight years. The visitors produced moments of quality on a docile track.
Despite the big partnership from Campbell and Hope, India’s bowlers gradually regained control. Campbell fell to a reverse sweep against Jadeja and Hope eventually succumbed to Siraj.
