India vs West Indies 2nd Test, Day 3 LIVE updates: Campbell and Hope showed superb display of batting to end the day

First ball after the Tea break and there’s immediate drama! Shai Hope is ruled out after a faint bottom edge is caught behind by Dhruv Jurel. Both the keeper and KL Rahul at first slip go up confidently, but the on-field umpire opts to send it upstairs for a closer look.

Replays reveal the ball bounced just before reaching Jurel, meaning Hope survives the scare.

Washington Sundar, however, keeps things tight and finishes the over with a wicket-maiden — minus the wicket.

Washington Sundar picks second wicket for India. West Indies struggle again!

West Indies is still 270 runs short and now the West Indies will follow-on.

Jayden Seales is beginning to put some pressure back on Kuldeep Yadav after patiently negotiating his first 15 deliveries. With Kuldeep hunting for his fifth wicket of the innings, he's starting to bowl more aggressively — and Seales is taking advantage.

The West Indies tail-ender has now struck two boundaries off Kuldeep, showing signs of freeing his arms. Despite the late resistance, the visitors still trail by 270 runs.

India, meanwhile, have the option to take the second new ball after this over. At the end of 80 overs, West Indies are 248/9.

It was expected that India will begin the Day 3 with Ravindra Jadeja but Shubman Gill took a surprising decision to send Kuldeep Yadav. Now the big call waiting for Gill is whether he will enforce the follow-on if they bowl West Indies out early. The live action will be starting at 12:10 PM.

West Indies cross the 200-run mark as Anderson Phillip steps down the pitch and lofts Ravindra Jadeja over the infield for a boundary. A clever response—almost as if he understood Hindi instructions coming from behind the stumps.

Just one delivery earlier, wicketkeeper Dhruv Jurel had advised Jadeja to maintain his line, pointing out that Phillip was trying to close the bat face and work it to the leg side.

But right after Jurel’s warning, Phillip adjusts and sends the ball racing to the fence — a smart counter to the chatter behind the stumps.

This time, it’s Mohammed Siraj who disturbs the timber! Just a delivery after a loud LBW appeal was turned down, Siraj strikes gold by dismissing Jomel Warrican. Attempting a drive, Warrican gets an inside edge, and the ball crashes into the middle stump.

West Indies are in serious trouble, having now lost four wickets in just over an hour on Day 3.

Kuldeep Yadav dismisses Hope

Both the teams are ready and Kuldeep Yadav will be bowling first on Day 3.

“Shubman has passed his most difficult test, and I told him after we won at The Oval, I told him that he just passed his most difficult test in the transition, and from here on, things will be much easier. I hope they get more easier for him because he deserves every bit of it. The amount of criticism he has received, the kind of things people have said about him, it has been unfair. You can’t expect a 25-year-old kid to have an average of 50, and score every time everywhere. The kind of potential he has, I was never shocked that he scored 750 runs in England,” Gambhir told JioHotstar in an interview.
