IND vs WI 2nd Test Day 3 Highlights: India fail to go past Shai Hope and John Campbell

West Indies are showing some fight for the first time in this series. They are keeping India on the wait. Hope and Campbell have shown that this team can bat and can handle an attack of India's class.

India now introduce Washington Sundar into the attack. The West Indies are really putting up a fight here. Will we see Jasprit Bumrah in the attack soon? He is seen warming up near the fence.

Shai Hope decides to aerial and gets aa six runs of Kuldeep Yadav. It seems like West Indies have decided to put some pressure on the wrist spinner. He has conceded 22 runs off his first two overs here.

IND vs WI 2nd Test Day 3 Live Score: Finally a Windies batter reaches a half-century! It has been much needed after a really forgettable outing with the bat for the Windies team. Goes after Kuldeep Yadav immediately with a six and a four, manages to pick up 15 off the over. 80/2 now, and much better from the Windies. Deficit down to 190.

IND vs WI 2nd Test Day 3 Live Score: Close call for Campbell! Too full to go for the sweep, but he just about gets a bit of glove on it before it hits his pads. Sundar nearly had two, but Campbell still in there for the moment.

IND vs WI 2nd Test Day 3 Live Score: Aerial route for the Windies batters as fifty for the innings comes up. Campbell against Jadeja, Hope against Sundar, both playing with the turn.

IND vs WI 2nd Test Day 3 Live Score: Washington Sundar will bowl out his over, with new man Shai Hope coming in. Can the Windies push this to Day 4? It's all India at the moment.

India vs West Indies Live Score, 2nd Test Day 3, IND vs WI: Perfect off-spinner's delivery to a leftie, and the Windies do lose a wicket right before tea. Pitches on middle, and Athanaze is comprehensively beaten on his outside edge.

35/2, and tea called. Another good session for India, 4 wickets in this one across two innings.

India vs West Indies Live Score, 2nd Test Day 3, IND vs WI: About 15 minutes to go for tea. Windies will want to see through to the break with no more damage.

India vs West Indies Live Score, 2nd Test Day 3, IND vs WI: Great catch by the captain! Decked in by Siraj, and Chanderpaul's pull is too late, just slices it. Gill at a wide on has to shuttle across, put in a dive, but he keeps his eye on the ball and keeps hold of it. 17/1.

India vs West Indies Live Score, 2nd Test Day 3, IND vs WI: No breakthroughs so far. Siraj and Jadeja still operating, but not too far from Bumrah and Kuldeep, you imagine.

India vs West Indies Live Score, 2nd Test Day 3, IND vs WI: From the other end is Ravindra Jadeja, who is generating turn and bounce. But the openers surviving so far.

India vs West Indies Live Score, 2nd Test Day 3, IND vs WI: Quick turnaround and Campbell and Chanderpaul are back out there. One last opportunity to show some character and keep Windies in the fight.

India vs West Indies Live Score, 2nd Test Day 3, IND vs WI: And the news is here, West Indies will be batting again. Will Shubman Gill let Kuldeep Yadav keep going with the new ball given his rhythm, or both seamers have a go?

India vs West Indies Live Score, 2nd Test Day 3, IND vs WI: Another LBW, and Kuldeep Yadav has bounced back with a five-fer upon his return to the team! 4 wickets today, 5 wickets in the innings, on his IPL home ground. Seales trapped in front on the back foot, finger went up immediately.

WI bowled out for 248, 270 runs behind India. Waiting to see if India choose to bat again or enforce the follow-on.

India vs West Indies Live Score, 2nd Test Day 3, IND vs WI: Runs coming in all sorts of ways. Edges, byes, and even crisp drives down the ground.

80 overs through and India go for the second new ball. Something of a moral victory for the Windies. 248/9.

India vs West Indies Live Score, 2nd Test Day 3, IND vs WI: India just one wicket away, Bumrah up against Seales. Trying to work him over.

India vs West Indies Live Score, 2nd Test Day 3, IND vs WI: Welcome back. India trying to push for the last two wickets of this innings. Bumrah to get things starte

India vs West Indies Live Score, 2nd Test Day 3, IND vs WI: Really good period of play for West Indies in the last 40 minutes. It comes down to the tailenders, but they are showing some battle and real application. Good mix of defence and picking up runs.

217/8 at lunch. Back soon, where India will have to come with a plan.

India vs West Indies Live Score, 2nd Test Day 3, IND vs WI: A handful of boundaries in the last couple of overs. Even as Jadeja comes on, Phillip gets a lofted shot away over midwicket.

India vs West Indies Live Score, 2nd Test Day 3, IND vs WI: Pierre is given out LBW as Washington drifts one in, but the review gives him a reprieve! Sliding down leg.

India vs West Indies Live Score, 2nd Test Day 3, IND vs WI: He's really steaming in here. Hungry for more wickets. Lots of plays and misses from Pierre and Phillip.

India vs West Indies Live Score, 2nd Test Day 3, IND vs WI: A seamer finally strikes. Warrican was looking very tentative, and Siraj just bowls it full, not even that straight. No foot movement, and Warrican chops on.

175/8. This follow-on looks like it's coming.

India vs West Indies Live Score, 2nd Test Day 3, IND vs WI: Not a shot most batting coaches would suggest! Greaves goes for the reverse sweep but isn't close to executing it well. Misses it altogether, and that's as plumb as can be.

Kuldeep's third of the morning, fourth of the innings. And now drinks, WI 174/7.

India vs West Indies Live Score, 2nd Test Day 3, IND vs WI: Bumrah replaced by Siraj after an opening burst. Both bowlers going quick and sharp into the body, just trying to keep the Windies batters softened up for the spinners. Kuldeep with an extended spell — don't imagine it's too long before Jadeja or Sundar join the attack.

India vs West Indies Live Score, 2nd Test Day 3, IND vs WI: Kuldeep strikes again! Imlach was batting well, but he was always a candidate for that given how often he was going on to the backfoot even against fuller deliveries. Can't get his bat around to that one, and he's so deep in his crease that it's as plumb as can be.

Two new batters at the crease, India making quick work of this now.

India vs West Indies Live Updates, 2nd Test Day 3, IND vs WI: Great bowling! Pulls the length back just a touch but draws Hope onto his front foot. Hope is playing for the turn, but it doesn't bite as much. Evades his outside edge and knocks over off stump. Sensational stuff, and now 156/5.

India vs West Indies Live Updates, 2nd Test Day 3, IND vs WI: Broadcast compares the state of the pitch on both ends. One end is clean as a whistle, but the other is very worn down. Explains why Kuldeep and Bumrah are in a tandem to start off. The rough at a very full length though, easy enough for the batters to negotiate.

India vs West Indies Live Score, 2nd Test Day 3, IND vs WI: And play begins in Delhi! A bright day today, and Kuldeep with the first over.

India vs West Indies Live Updates, 2nd Test Day 3, IND vs WI: With that in mind, Shubman Gill might be convinced to turn to his star seamers instead, just for a quick burst to unsettle the Windies with pace and bounce. Only 10 overs between them so far, though.

India vs West Indies Live Updates, 2nd Test Day 3, IND vs WI: The Delhi pitch has largely been one that has been good for batting thus far, but Indian tracks begin to wear down by Day 3 and really let the spin bowlers come into it. With the ball 43 overs old, batting should be pretty good in the first hour or two – but once the ball is around 60 overs old and the pitch is worn down even more, India will fancy their chances. The question really is if the Windies can even make it to that juncture, but for the sake of good cricket, you really do hope so.

India vs West Indies Live Updates, 2nd Test Day 3, IND vs WI: With the brief being to go after the West Indies bowling and get quick runs on the board, Nitish Kumar Reddy was promoted to 5, needing time in the middle to hone his skills as well. He looked good despite a drop, but couldn't capitalise with a fifty, and nor could Dhruv Jurel after him, whose wicket brought the declaration to boot.

India vs West Indies Live Updates, 2nd Test Day 3, IND vs WI: Shubman Gill is enjoying some year in Test cricket. Forged in the fire of opening and batting number three, he has taken to batting four down like a duck to water – and he has found a boost in captaincy as well. He looked untouchable as he scored his 5th century of 2025, as the runs just keep flowing for the Indian skipper. Ended the innings unbeaten as well before delcaring on 518/5.

India vs West Indies Live Updates, 2nd Test Day 3, IND vs WI: The vastly experienced Shai Hope decided that the way to counter India was by playing attacking cricket – not unorthodox T20 style batting, but enough to unsettle the Indian bowlers. He worked his way to 31* in just 46 deliveries with five boundaries, and once he has his eye in, will be looking for more of the same

India vs West Indies Live Updates, 2nd Test Day 3, IND vs WI: He picked up the important wicket of Athanaze after toiling on Day 2, but given his spot in the team isn't all that solidified, Kuldeep Yadav will want to do all he can to ensure that Gautam Gambhir can't look away from him, particularly for home Test matches. He was just short of his best for large parts of his spell on Day 2, but a new day brings a new opportunity for the leggie to weave his magic.

India vs West Indies Live Updates, 2nd Test Day 3, IND vs WI: India's number one option to get those wickets might just be the wily old veteran Ravindra Jadeja, who has had an incredible series thus far. With three wickets yesterday, he might just be who Shubman Gill turns to for further tightening of the screws.

India vs West Indies Live Updates, 2nd Test Day 3, IND vs WI: With 178 runs still to go before West Indies can force their hosts to bat again, India will want to ensure they can wrap this match up quickly by forcing West Indies to follow on. They will know this is probably when their bowlers will find it the toughest, on a good Day 3 pitch with a relatively old ball – but the spinners might just come in to it even more by the same measure.

India vs West Indies Live Updates, 2nd Test Day 3, IND vs WI: Still 378 runs behind, but showing just a touch more application than they did in either innings in Ahmedabad. Still no score of true substance from any of their batters, and nobody yet achieving Ian Bishop's pre-match challenge of seeing out 150 deliveries, but they have managed to get starts, at the very least.

India vs West Indies Live Updates, 2nd Test Day 3, IND vs WI: Welcome back to Day 3 of this second Test match in Delhi between India and West Indies. India still well on top, looking favourites to seal a 2-0 series win — but their visitors will want to use today as an opportunity to leave a good account of themselves on Indian turf. A key morning session coming up.
