After Ravindra Jadeja ended the pair’s 177-run third-wicket partnership, Hope put on 59 runs with skipper Roston Chase (40) for the fourth wicket. However, the visitors lost their next 6 wickets for 40 runs.

Jomel Warrican has claimed that the only Indian wicket has fallen so far, removing Yashasvi Jaiswal for 8, while the hosts were forced to close out the game at 63 for 1.
