The Caribbean side resumed the second session of the day from 90/5 in 23.2 overs with Roston Chase (22*) unbeaten on the crease. Right-hand batter Justin Greeves joined the captain in the middle in the post-lunch session.
On the second ball of the 27th over, the Roston Chase-led side crossed the 100-run mark as Mohammed Siraj gave away five wides. On the fifth ball of the same over, the West Indies Cricket Team lost their sixth wicket as Chase (24 runs off 43 balls) was sent back through a caught-behind delivery.

Following Campbell's wicket, right-hand batter Brandon King (13 runs off 15 balls) came in the middle to bat. He played some attacking shots during his knock, but he was later cleaned up by Siraj in the 10th over when the team's score was 39.
