Overview

• West Indies reached 252/3 at lunch on Day 4, 18 runs from avoiding an innings defeat, with Shai Hope 92 not out and Roston Chase 23 not out.
• John Campbell made 115 for his first Test century before falling lbw to Ravindra Jadeja, ending a 177-run stand with Hope.
• An earlier LBW review against Campbell stayed not out after UltraEdge showed a faint spike, prompting Bumrah to tell umpire Richard Illingworth, “It’s out… but the technology can’t prove it.”
• India had enforced the follow-on after posting 518/5 declared and bowling West Indies out for 248, built on Kuldeep Yadav’s 5/82 for a 270-run lead.
• Assistant coach Ryan ten Doeschate acknowledged internal debate about batting again, noting the pitch had slowed, as India remain favored to complete a 2–0 sweep despite West Indies’ resistance and more than 150 overs in the field.
