2nd Test: Campbell, Hope fifties rally WI
The Statesman Siliguri
|October 13, 2025
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.
