The fielder fires in a throw at the striker's end, but Hope is home well in time.

OUT! KNOCKED HIM OVER! Siraj provides the breakthrough for India with an absolute peach. Full and on the stumps, he gets this one to swing in sharply from off to middle. Campbell goes for the aggressive route, looking to heave across the line, but misses the connection entirely. The ball brushes the back pad before cannoning into off stump.

He dives forward at the last moment, but the ball hits his palm hard and drops to the ground. They cross. How costly will this drop prove to be for India?

Lovely bowling! Angled in before straightening off the deck off a good length. Shai hops across to play the line but is beaten past the outside edge due to the seam movement.

Slanting in at the hips, Hope helps it down to deep fine leg for a single.

FOUR LEG BYES! Risk taken by John Campbell and he gets away with it. On middle and leg, on a nagging length. Campbell pre-empts the scoop. He walks across the stumps and gets down on a knee for the scoop but fails to lay any bat on it. Not much appeal from the bowler but KL Rahul behind the wickets appealed for LBW. The ball thuds into the pads and goes down to the deep fine leg fence. Anshul Kamboj thinks that the ball might have pitched outside leg and hence, Shubman Gill does not review.

Steams in from over the wicket, bowled at 138.2 kph, a hint of inward shape, on a good length. Campbell turns it off the pads to mid-wicket.

FOUR! Campbell and West Indies are on their way. Across off, scrambled seam ball, not all that full but John just swings through the line. Lofts it to the right of the bowler and picks up a boundary.

Fuller in length and it tails back in, on middle. Campbell has a jab at the ball with hard hands. Ekes out an inside edge and it dribbles behind square leg for a single.

Moving away in the air, on a back of a length. It kicks up a bit as Hope fends it down on the off side.

Pitched up, curving away from the right-hander. Shai extends his hands and knocks it wide of mid off before scampering through for a quick single.

FOUR! Uppish but safe. Going across the left-hander, on a nagging length. Campbell tries to play the drive on the rise but the ball is nowhere close to being full enough for the shot. He checks his shot, chipping it over cover and it goes into the fence.
