All is set for the action to kick off on Day 5 in Delhi. Both umpire have made their way out to the middle, followed by the Windies' players. Also, out walk the two unbeaten overnight batters, where KL Rahul will resume the innings alongside Sai Sudharsan. They need just 58 runs to win and do a whitewash in the series. None expected that the match would go this far, but as they say - life takes all of us to unexpected places sometimes. The Windies are starting with Jomel Warrican. With one slip and a short leg in place, Jomel to Rahul. Here we go...

West Indies will walk away with plenty of positives from this Test - John Campbell’s magnificent maiden century and Shai Hope’s classy ton leading a 177-run stand that was the hear of this fightback. Then came the gritty 79-run last-wicket partnership between Justin Greaves and Jayden Seales, with Greaves notching up his maiden Test fifty. The only real blemish was the collapse after Hope’s dismissal, as they slipped from 271/3 to 311/9. Had they managed one more partnership to stretch the target to around 200-250, it could’ve been a thrilling contest. With the ball, Jomel Warrican managed to remove Yashasvi Jaiswal early as he looked for a quick finish, but with too few runs to defend, only something extraordinary can change the inevitable - otherwise, this should be wrapped up well before Lunch.

India might just need 58 runs to seal a 2-0 series win, but the real story lies in how they got here. They surely wouldn’t have expected to bat again, but credit must go to the West Indies for their grit and fight. Yes, Shubman Gill might have missed a trick or two with the follow-on call, but this has also been a valuable learning experience for him as captain. The hosts were made to toil for nearly 190 overs in the field before a burst from Kuldeep Yadav, Mohammed Siraj, and Jasprit Bumrah brought six quick wickets, restricting the target to 121. Still, their struggle to wrap up innings remains a concern, especially with tougher challenges on the horizon.

Hello and welcome to our coverage of the fifth and final day of this 2nd Test between India and West Indies! Yes, you heard that right - we’ve made it to Day 5. While the result might just be a formality, this match has been about much more than that. It’s been a story of resilience and determination from the West Indies, who have fought hard to take the game this deep and make the hosts work for every bit of this win. An effort like this will surely boost their confidence and bode well for the future of Windies Test cricket.

... DAY 5, SESSION 1 ...

And that’s it from Day 4! Who would have thought that this game would drift till the last Day? But that's the beauty of Test Cricket, which gives you a second chance to redeem yourself. India are just 58 away from wrapping this up, and if the pitch behaves as it has, slow and low, the morning session could decide everything. Can the Windies snatch a few early ones to make India sweat, or will it be a short stroll to victory? We’ll find out soon. The action resumes for Day 5 on Tuesday, October 14th at 9.30 am IST (4 am GMT), but as you know, join us an hour early for all the pre-start analysis. Until then, breathe and smile! TAKE CARE! CIAO!

John Campbell, one of the centurions of the Windies, is up for a quick chat. He says that he can't really put it into words about getting his maiden Test ton. Adds that they always knew it would be a good batting track, and it was all about getting the start and converting it. Mentions that he loves to play the sweep shot, and still played his shots, but was more selective. On Sai Sudarshan's catch of him in the first innings, he says it was a freak one, and he couldn't do much about it.

So, what can both teams take away? For India, it’s another statement of dominance at home - the spinners, the patience, and the batting depth all shining through. Yet, the inability to clean up tails quickly might give them something to ponder. As for the West Indies, plenty of positives despite the probable loss - John Campbell’s redemption arc, Shai Hope’s classy ton, and that Greaves-Seales partnership that earned respect across the stands. The gap in quality remains, yes, but the fight? That was world-class.

And then came the chase! India’s openers walked out with intent, and Yashasvi Jaiswal looked like he wanted to finish the game early. Two cracking boundaries in the first over, but then - a rush of blood, and he holed out at long on. KL Rahul and Sai Sudharsan steadied the ship, rotating strike smartly and punishing loose balls. No rush, no panic - just class. By Stumps, India had reached 63/1, needing just 58 more runs.

Session 3 - Oh, what a partnership that was! Justin Greaves and Jayden Seales decided to make the Indians earn every wicket. A 79-run stand for the 10th wicket - yes, you read that right. Boundaries came in along with singles, and so did the frustration for India. When Seales finally holed out to Bumrah, West Indies had stretched the lead to 120, a number that felt far more respectable than what it looked like two hours earlier. It was defiance at its best, and the applause from both dressing rooms said it all. If you ever needed a lesson in stubbornness, this was it.

Session 2 - But then, the dream met reality! The extended second session was all about India clawing back control. Shai Hope reached a fine century, his third in Tests, but once Siraj found his rhythm and nipped him out, the domino effect began. From 271/3 to 311/9, the collapse came fast and furious. Kuldeep Yadav turned the ball like a magician at work, picking up three, while Bumrah chipped in with those signature toe-crushers. Still, the tail refused to give up. Greaves and Seales blocked, nudged, and occasionally slashed their way through, keeping India on the park for around 22 overs - exhausting. Talk about testing patience, right?

Session 1 - What a morning that was! West Indies, the team everyone thought had run out of answers, came back swinging, literally and figuratively. John Campbell and Shai Hope put on a masterclass in patience and shot selection. Campbell finally got his long-awaited Maiden Test hundred, punching the air with pride, while Hope played like the calm professor in a chaotic classroom, guiding the innings with poise. At Lunch, the West Indies were 252/3, trailing by just 18 runs - yes, just eighteen! From being forced to follow-on to nearly wiping out the deficit, the morning was all Windies.

STUMPS ON DAY 4! India are on the brink, while the West Indies are out of gas but not out of fight. The end is near, but what a journey this Test has been. Four days, over a thousand runs, and a rollercoaster of emotions - this Delhi pitch saw it all. India, after piling up 518 in their first innings, have once again shown why they’re nearly unbeatable at home, while the West Indies can hold their heads high after showing courage, grit, and plenty of heart. At Stumps, India need just 58 runs to do a whitewash in the series by 2-0, standing tall at 63/1, chasing 121. The Windies? They fought till the last breath, stretched India for 191 overs in the field, and made them work hard for every inch. But now, the finish line is right in sight.

FOUR! Excellent execution! Much fuller and outsdie off, Yashasvi Jaiswal crouches, brings his bat down and squeezes it through the gap betwen first slip and gully for a boundary.

An appeal for caught behind, but the umpire shakes his head. Uh, as the timer was about to run out, Roston Chase had taken a review as the keeper looked convinced. On a length and sliding down leg, Yashasvi Jaiswal gets inside the line and tries to flick it but misses. Tevin Imlach moves to his right, crouches and grabs it just above the turf.

It goes through the legs of KL Rahul there, and three runs are taken before Washington Sundar cuts it off to his right from deep backward point. Dhruv Jurel should have done better there. He started moving to the leg side, but rather should have stayed there and got his gloves in line with the ball. Tough chance, but a chance nonetheless.

... DAY 4, SESSION 3 ...

The partnership between Justin Greaves and Jayden Seales is starting to cause a bit of concern for the hosts, though the lead isn’t too threatening just yet. The pair will look to add as many runs as possible to give their bowlers something to defend and put India under pressure. Earlier, the hosts had enjoyed a strong phase - Mohammed Siraj became the highest Test wicket-taker of this calendar year, Kuldeep Yadav chipped in with three wickets, and Jasprit Bumrah also claimed a couple. The hosts will now hope that the interval breaks the batters’ rhythm so they can wrap things up quickly in the final session. Join us at 3 pm IST (9.30 am GMT) to see how things unfold.

We’ve witnessed just about everything in this session. West Indies were cruising during the first hour, but Shai Hope’s dismissal on 103, right before Drinks, triggered a collapse, as they slipped from 271/3 to 298/7. Many expected India to wrap things up quickly after that, and to some extent, they did - reducing the Windies to 311/9. However, the familiar issue of failing to finish off the tail resurfaced once again, with the hosts conceding another 50 runs before the session finally came to a close.

SESSION SUMMARY - 109 runs and 6 wickets in 31 overs! Even with the extended session, India couldn’t manage to claim the final wicket. Full credit to the West Indies, who continued to hang in and frustrate the hosts with their stubborn resistance. The weary Indian players walked off the field with tired legs and slumped shoulders, while Justin Greaves and Jayden Seales headed back with their heads held high, having helped the Windies secure a lead of 91 runs.

He looks to heave it across, but ends up getting a top edge as he has played it against the spin. The ball goes up in the air towards mid off, where Nitish Kumar Reddy goes to his right a bit and pouches it around his chest. Indians are all smiles, and Khary goes back for a duck. Kuldeep has his third wicket of the inning and the eighth of the match.

Short and around middle, Khary prresses back and defends it into the deck.

Khary Pierre is the next man in. Two new batters at the crease for West Indies.

OUT! TAKEN! A STUNNER! Kuldeep Yadav gets his second and two-in-two overs for him! Bowls a relatively fuller delivery, around middle and leg, and the ball stays a bit low, like it remained on Tevin Imlach's dismissal. Roston Chase presses back and gets surprised. He tries to bring his bat down and looks to flick it, but gets it off the bottom part of the bat. The ball lobs up towards mid-wicket, where the substitute fielder Devdutt Padikkal dives forward full-length and snaffles it to his left.

FOUR LEG BYES! Bonus runs! Wrong'un, full and around leg, Justin Greaves misses his flick as the ball goes off his pads to the deep fine leg fence for a boundary.

DRINKS! With the crucial dismissal of Tevin Imlach, who was attempting a counter-attack against the spin of Kuldeep Yadav, India are pushing to seize the critical momentum. This wicket is the well-deserved reward for the bowlers' relentless accuracy and discipline since the morning, instantly injecting a renewed intensity into the Indian attack. The manner of Imlach's dismissal - a clear instance of the ball staying low - is a key development, indicating the pitch is deteriorating and will pose an increasing challenge to the batters. While the experienced Roston Chase remains at the crease and the Windies will aim to press for a substantial, match-winning lead, India's immediate goal is to press home their advantage, quickly dismantle the remaining lower order, and ensure they chase a target that is well within reach. Also, Justin Greaves is the next batter in.

OUT! LBW! Kuldeep Yadav strikes! A bit unlucky for Tevin Imlach! This is pushed through quicker, shorter and middle, skidding through and remains very low. Imlach once again moves back to flick it away, but fails to get his bat in line with the ball and misses to get hit very low on the back pad. There is a huge appeal for LBW, and the finger goes up right away. Imlach thinks about the review, but his partner and skipper, Roston Chase, says that it is plumb. He departs for 12 off 13, and West Indies are 293/5, leading by 23 runs!

Horror review from India! Mohammed Siraj goes fuller and on middle and leg, angling in. Tevin Imlach shuffles a bit across to flick but misses as the ball goes off his pads towards fine leg. A leg bye taken. However, Siraj convinces Shubman Gill to take the review, UltraEdge confirms no bat involved, and Ball Tracking shows that the impact is umpire's call, and it is missing the leg stump by quite a margin. Only one review left now for the hosts!

Is that OUT? Siraj appealed loudly for LBW, but the umpire shook his head. He looks convinced, but the skipper, Shubman Gill, asks the keeper as well before taking a review. Nothing comes on the UltraEdge. Ball Tracking presents that it would have missed the leg stump by fair margins. NOT OUT!

OUT! DRAGGED ON! Mohammed Siraj provides a massive wicket for India! A slight lapse of concentration from Shai Hope, and he has to walk back right after getting to his ton. This is bowled on a good length and outside off, keeping a touch low as well. Hope throws his bat at it without any footwork. Only manages to get a thick inside edge back onto the middle stump that gets uprooted. He hangs his head down in disappointment, but now the 59-run stand has been broken.

FOUR! HUNDRED FOR SHAI HOPE! 8 years after his heroic twin hundreds against England, Shai Hope brings up his 3rd Test ton. This has been a classy knock, and he has looked in good control right from ball one. Mohammed Siraj pulls his length back a bit, on off, keeps low, Hope looks to play at it but gets an outside edge. As he plays with soft hands, it goes along the ground and past KL Rahul at first slip for a boundary. He raises his bat and removes his helmet to soak in all the applause.

FOUR! A bit streaky! Fuller one and around off, shapes away, Roston Chase looks to drive it on the up but gets an outside edge.

Good-length delivery, just outside off, holds its line, Roston Chase does not get tempted and leaves it alone.

Back for the Post-Lunch session! Both umpires are out again to the middle, followed by the Indian players. Also, the two unbeaten batters of the Windies have stridden out, where the skipper, Roston Chase, will resume the innings alongside Shai Hope, who's in the 90s. The second new ball will be available in 2 overs, and let's see when India take that. For now, Kuldeep Yadav to start the proceedings in the second session. With one slip in place, Kuldeep to Hope. Here we go...

... DAY 4, SESSION 2 ...

So, what’s next after Lunch? The pitch continues to stay slow and low, offering little bite to the bowlers. India will desperately need a spark, and maybe a bit of swing from Bumrah and Siraj with the second new ball, which will be available in 2 overs, or some Kuldeep magic Post-Lunch. They’ll want to wrap this up before the lead gets something substantial to chase. But the Windies? Oh, they’ll be dreaming bigger now. Just 18 runs behind, a lead is in sight, and once they cross it, they’d want to build something substantial to put India under pressure in the fourth innings. The battle is heating up, and we are up for the next second session on Day 4, which is scheduled to start at 12.10 pm IST (6.40 am GMT)!

Hope, on the other end, is still the man of the moment. With his wristy drives and picture-perfect flicks, he’s turned back the clock to his 2017 self - the one who stunned England at Headingley. Every time India tried to squeeze him, he found the gap - every time they went full, he countered with class. Roston Chase joined him and started positively, using his feet against the spinners and even lofting one over mid-wicket for a maximum. The duo has now added 40 runs for the fourth wicket, and the body language in the Indian camp says it all - they know this is not going to be easy.

And then came the moment! Campbell - the man who had waited long - finally brought up his Maiden Test century with a six over long on. After all the struggles, the close LBW appeals, and the questions about his temperament, this was redemption. He looked calm, compact, and composed, until - oh dear - one rush of blood after drinks saw him attempt a reverse sweep against Jadeja, only to be trapped LBW for 115. A lapse in judgment, yes, but by then, he had done enough to set the tone for the day.

The day started with a mix of nerves and hope - literally! Hope and Campbell walked in on 173/2, with the mission to erase the deficit and prove that yesterday wasn’t just a one-session wonder. India began with Jadeja and Bumrah, both tight, probing, and testing. There was that one heart-stopping moment early on when Bumrah pinned Campbell on the pads - a loud appeal, a review, and... a faint inside edge saved him. That was India’s closest chance of the morning, and after that, things began to drift away. The Windies batters batted like they were born on these slow Delhi tracks - defending, sweeping, and occasionally driving with elegance.

Now, that’s a morning session to remember! West Indies - the team everyone thought would crumble - have once again come out with intent and confidence. From being written off to running India close, they’ve owned this session, no question about it. It’s been a continuation of their fightback from yesterday - patient and punchy. John Campbell finally got that long-awaited Maiden Test ton, Shai Hope has looked like a man on a mission with an unbeaten 92, and Roston Chase has just joined in. At Lunch on Day 4, West Indies sit pretty at 252/3, trailing by just 18 runs - yes, just 18! Who saw that coming two days ago?

OUT! LBW! Stop the press - India have finally managed to get a breakthrough! How often have we seen the batting team lose a wicket right after the Drinks break? That has happened here again, and the mammoth 177-run stand has been broken now. Coming to the delivery, this is floated, full and around middle, John Campbell goes down for the reverse sweep but misses and gets hit low on his front pad. There is a big shout for LBW, and Jadeja goes in celebappeal before he turns back and looks at the umpire to realise it isn't given OUT yet. After thinking for a while, the umpire, Paul Reiffel, raises his finger. Campbell takes the review, and the third umpire is called in. UltraEdge shows nothing, and Ball Tracking comes up with three reds with the ball projected to hit the middle stump. A stellar knock of 115 from him comes to an end as he walks back to a huge applause from the crowd. West Indies are 212/3, still trailing by 58 runs!

Is that OUT? The umpire raised his finger a bit late on the pleading appeal of India for the LBW, and John Campbell has reviewed it. Nothing comes on the UltraEdge. Ball Tracking presents three reds. The on-field call stays. OUT!!

DRINKS! The overnight batters for the West Indies have successfully got through the first hour of this session. Scoring may have been a bit slow, but John Campbell has notched up his maiden Test century, and along with Shai Hope keeps frustrating the hosts. They are 62 runs behind, and it is now almost inevitable that India will bat again unless something miraculous happens from here. The Men in Blue have bowled decently, but not many chances have been created except for that close LBW call from Jasprit Bumrah. They'll hope that the spinners can now come into the game more and break this partnership, because one thing is for sure, the new batters won't find it easy to bat on this wicket.

From around the wicket, a bit fuller and around off, John Campbell takes a step forward to negate the swing and tries to defend it but gets an inside edge onto his front pad.

India are not happy with the condition of the ball here. The umpire checks, and it does not go through the ball gauge. Now, the briefcase comes out with a few selections, and the umpires pick up one that is more or less in the same condition as the previous one. The hosts will be hoping that there is some reverse swing on offer because we saw that from Jasprit Bumrah in the previous over.

Pushed through, full and around off, Shai lunges and squeezes it to cover point.

Short and around off, Hope gets forward and tries to defend it but gets an insid edge to his front pad.

CLOSE! On a good length and outside off, zipping past the off stump, John Campbell gets forward and shoulders his arms. That's a very brave leave, and Bumrah has his hands on his head in disbelief.

Massive appeal for LBW from Bumrah and Dhruv Jurel, but the umpire shakes his head. Bumrah looks convinced as he says to his skipper, Shubman Gill, that it is very much plumb if the bat isn't involved, and that tempts the Indian skipper to take a review here. Bumrah bowls it on a length and around middle, gets it to come back in from the around-the-wicket angle. John Campbell gets half-forward on his front foot and looks to flick it with an angled bat, but gets a bit late. The ball thuds his front pad before John hits his bat to his pad. The third umpire is called in, and it shows a spike on the UltraEdge. NOT-OUT is the final call.

3..2....Shubman Gill takes the review for an LBW call here. The question is whether it is pad first or not, and the man in question is John Campbell.

All is in readiness for the action to kick off for the exciting Day 4 in Delhi! Both umpires make their way out to the middle, followed by the Indian players, who form a huddle beside the boundary cushions, where the skipper, Shubman Gill, gives a pep talk before they disperse to take their respective positions. Also, out walk the two overnight unbeaten batters of the Windies, where Shai Hope will resume the innings alongside John Campbell. India are starting with Ravindra Jadeja. With one slip and a short leg in place, Jadeja to Hope. Here we go...

India dominated most of the first two days and the early sessions on Day 3, but the West Indies showed real fight in the final session to push the hosts back. Earlier, Kuldeep Yadav bagged his 5th Test fifer to bowl the visitors out for 248, after which Shubman Gill made a bold call to enforce the follow-on. However, things didn’t quite go India’s way - they managed just two wickets and went wicketless in the last session. Kuldeep and Jadeja weren’t at their best, while Washington impressed and was unlucky not to strike. Still, his spell will encourage India, and if the other two spinners find their rhythm, they could yet make quick work of the Windies lineup as they’ve done throughout the series. Strap in, as we are in for the exciting 4th day of this second and final Test.

After India’s declaration at 518/5, few gave the West Indies much of a chance, but they showed real grit after being asked to follow on. Despite early setbacks, John Campbell and Shai Hope put up a spirited fight, adding an unbeaten 138-run stand - the Windies’ first century partnership in eight Tests. Campbell, unbeaten on 87, made the most of his chances, while Hope’s half-century after 31 innings will do his confidence a world of good. The visitors will now look to erase most of the 97-run deficit and make India bat again.

Hello and a warm welcome, folks! Not many would have expected this 2nd Test to stretch this far, but that’s the beauty of cricket - it always finds a way to surprise you. As we head into Day 4, the West Indies are still hanging in there, trailing by 97 runs, showing resilience that’s kept the contest alive. India, on the other hand, will be plotting fresh plans to wrap things up quickly, ideally without having to bat again, or if they do, ensuring the chase remains a mere formality.

... DAY 4, SESSION 1 ...

And that’s a wrap of Day 3 of the second and final Test in Delhi. A day that belonged to the West Indies’ grit after India’s dominance. The match is well-poised - India hold the aces, but West Indies have belief. Can they chip away at the deficit and dream of a lead? Or will India’s bowlers storm through early tomorrow? We’ll find out soon. Join us for Day 4 on Monday, October 13, with action starting at 9.30 am IST (4 am GMT), but you know the drill, we’ll be live an hour before with all the pre-start analysis. Until then - breathe, stretch, and smile! TAKE CARE! CIAO!

Kuldeep Yadav of India is up for a quick chat, who took a five-wicket haul earlier today. He says that they started really well. Adds that the wicket was really good to bat on, and there is not much pace on it. Mentions that they had create the energy, and the plan was to attack the stumps. Says Hope and Campbell are batting nicely, and credit goes to them. Tells that he was focusing on his arm speed to generate some fizz from the wicket, which helped him. Further adds that he just wants to perform for the team, whatever the format may be. Ends by saying that you have to create magic on the field, and he was just trying to do that.

So, what next? Campbell is inching close to his maiden Test ton, Hope looks set for something big too. Can they continue the fight on Day 4? And for India, what’s the plan? Perhaps more overs from Bumrah early on, some early swing due to moisture, and tighter fields to force errors. They know the Windies are still 97 runs behind, but momentum, that tricky thing, seems to be shifting slightly. The surface? Still dry, still slow, but with enough drift and occasional low bounce to keep both teams guessing. Sundar found a good purchase today, while Kuldeep’s variations might just come alive again in the morning when the conditions will be fresh. The batters will have to dig in deep.

The final session was all about that partnership - Hope and Campbell’s unbroken 138-run stand, the biggest for West Indies in the entire series. Campbell, who had been scratchy all series, finally found rhythm, though he survived a couple of close LBW calls - still unbeaten at 87. Hope, classy as ever, brought up his first Test fifty in 31 innings, reminding everyone of the elegance that once defined his name. Together, they frustrated Kuldeep, negotiated Sundar’s drift, and made Jadeja look ordinary on a turning track. India’s bowlers toiled, but the pitch, much slower now, offered them no quick wickets.

And well, they did! The top order finally showed up with a plan - to play straight, defend longer, and leave smarter. The pair of Campbell and Chanderpaul began cautiously, but Siraj’s persistence got the better of Chanderpaul. Soon after, Washington Sundar produced a peach to send back Athanaze. India were all smiles at 35/2 at Tea, thinking of an early finish… but then came Hope. Shai Hope, with his calm assurance, and John Campbell, with his rediscovered flair, stitched together a partnership that made Delhi’s evening crowd sit up.

The Post-Lunch session had its share of mini-dramas. Could the tail wag again? Oh yes, it did, but just a little. Pierre and Phillip stretched their stand to 47 runs before Bumrah’s reverse-swing beauty ended it by knocking over Pierre's off stump. Even Jayden Seales chipped in with some handy runs, as West Indies finished at 248 all out, still 270 behind. But India’s response was bold - no hesitation, no mercy - follow-on enforced! With that, the real challenge began. Could the Windies handle it better this time?

Let’s rewind to how Day 3 began. West Indies started 140/4, buried under a mountain of runs, trailing by 378. Could they survive the spin storm? Not for long. Kuldeep Yadav had other ideas. The left-arm wizard weaved his magic yet again, picking three more in the morning to bag his fifth five-wicket haul in Tests. He toyed with the middle order, trapping batters in confusion, while Siraj chipped in with one to tighten the screws. From 156/4 to 175/8, it looked like the usual Caribbean collapse was on. But then, surprise, surprise, Khary Pierre and Anderson Phillip decided to script a resistance, frustrating India’s plans and taking the score to 217/8 at Lunch.

STUMPS! 'The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear' - Nelson Mandela said, and today, the West Indies did just that. After being cornered for two days in Delhi, they fought back with grit and showed their character with a touch of Caribbean flair.  At stumps on Day 3, the scoreboard reads 173/2, still trailing by 97 runs, but this time, they’ve finally stood up to India’s might. Shai Hope and John Campbell played the innings of defiance - one calm, one confident - and together, they’ve carved out the visitors’ best session of the series. Yes, India still hold the upper hand, but the Windies have ensured that this contest still has a heartbeat.
