Campbell Scores Maiden Test Hundred as West Indies Cut Deficit to 18 in Delhi

A follow-on after a 270-run lead has been checked by a 177-run Campbell–Hope stand.

Overview

  • West Indies reached 252/3 at lunch on Day 4, trailing India by 18, with Shai Hope on 92 not out and Roston Chase 23 not out after John Campbell’s dismissal.
  • Campbell brought up his first Test century with a six and made 115 off 199 balls before Ravindra Jadeja trapped him lbw to end a 177-run third-wicket partnership with Hope.
  • A contentious DRS moment preceded the ton when Jasprit Bumrah’s lbw review against Campbell stayed not out after an inconclusive UltraEdge, drawing the pacer’s stump‑mic quip about technology’s limits.
  • India had earlier declared at 518/5 and bowled West Indies out for 248, with Kuldeep Yadav taking 5/82, prompting captain Shubman Gill to enforce the follow-on.
  • Despite West Indies’ resistance and India’s bowling workload surpassing 150 overs, coverage still positions the hosts as clear favourites to close out a 2–0 series win.
