Heraldo de Madrid - West Indies' Campbell out to freak catch after India declare on 518-5

West Indies opener John Campbell fell for 10 after Sai Sudharsan somehow took a stunning and slightly lucky reflex catch at forward short-leg at Delhi's Arun Jaitley Stadium.

The left-handed Campbell attempted a slog sweep off Ravindra Jadeja's left-arm spin and Sudharsan instinctively held on to the ball with his helmet, chest and hands as he ducked for cover.

West Indies were 26-1 at tea, trailing India by 492 runs.

Tagenarine Chanderpaul, on 13, and Alick Athanaze, on two, were batting at the break.

India lost overnight batter Yashasvi Jaiswal for 175 soon after they resumed on 318-2 but Gill took on the mantle with his 10th Test century.

Gill, who started the day on 20, took on the West Indies attack with his classy strokeplay, hitting 16 fours and two sixes.

Gill scored three runs off left-arm spinner Khary Pierre to register his fifth hundred this year and raised his bat to acknowledge a raucous weekend crowd.

He and wicketkeeper-batsman Dhruv Jurel, who made 44, shared 102 runs for the fifth wicket and put on quick runs peppered with regular boundaries after the lunch break to turn the screw on the West Indies.

Visiting skipper Roston Chase bowled Jurel with a delivery that stayed low and Gill soon declared the innings.

Earlier, the left-handed Jaiswal added just two to his overnight score when a mix-up with Gill saw him heading back to the pavilion in the second over of the day.

Attempting a single after pushing the ball to mid-off, Jaiswal set off, but Gill had his back towards the striker and was ball-watching, and wicketkeeper Tevin Imlach was quick to rattle the stumps.

Gill kept calm and put on 91 runs with Nitish Kumar Reddy, who made 43 before Jomel Warrican got him out for his third wicket.

India are hot favourites to sweep the two-match series after winning the opener by an innings.
