Live Score IND vs WI, 2nd Test Match, Day 4: West Indies show resilience after India impose follow-on

IND vs WI Live Score, 2nd Test Match Day 4: West Indies ended the third day of the second Test against India at 173/2 in their second innings, still needing 97 runs for India to bat again after following at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi. The visitors lost two wickets before tea but opener John Campbell, unbeaten on 87, and Shai Hope, 66, added a crucial, unbroken partnership of 138 runs – the highest for the West Indies in any Test this year.

India’s left-hand spinner Kuldeep Yadav played with the ball in the first innings, taking five wickets to dismiss West Indies for 248, a deficit of 270, allowing captain Shubman Gill to force the follow-on. Campbell survived a few close calls early in his innings, while Hope reached his fifty against Ravindra Jadeja, raising his bat to the dressing room applauding.

India assistant coach Ryan ten Doeschate defended the outcome, describing it as “a good test in the legs” for the team. West Indies spinner Khary Pierre welcomed the team’s bid, noting that accumulating more runs would make the deterioration of the pitch difficult for the Indian batsmen.

The visitors’ first innings had seen early collapses, with Tevin Imlach, Justin Greaves and Jomel Warrican falling cheaply. Mohammed Siraj and Jasprit Bumrah made breakthroughs, while Kuldeep completed his fifth five-wicket haul in 15 Tests. Jayden Seales was fined 25% of his match fee for showing unnecessary aggression on day one.

India had dominated the first match of the series in Ahmedabad, winning by an innings and 140 runs, and remained in a dominant position to seal the series.
