It was a tough powerplay for the hosts after opting to bowl. Not only were they able to pick up a wicket, they even struggled for control as West Indies raced to 85 in the first 10 overs.

John Campbell: [On his opening partnership with Justin Greaves and how they built the innings] I think it just happened. Justin had a really good start, so I just tried to play a supporting role as best as possible to get going. [On whether 295 was a good total on the surface] I think it's a pretty decent total, maybe 15-20 runs a little bit short. But having said that, I think when the ball gets a little softer, it's a little bit more difficult to score. [On whether his previous Test experience in Delhi helped him today] Well, apparently it's a good outing for me. The ball was coming out pretty decent to the bat, so I just tried to stay in the moment as long as possible and get in strong position to play good shots. [On the importance of building a stable opening partnership] Yeah, definitely. With a lot of noise around outside of the cricket, we just decided we just want to come out here and put on a good show for ourselves and make the people back home proud.

Jayden Seales to Rohit Sharma, FOUR, first ball, and Rohit Sharma is off the mark in style! Full and outside off, with a hint of away movement, but Rohit reaches for it without much foot movement and times the drive through sweeper cover for a boundary
