"Cricket is played out there on the field, so anything is possible." This is what Roston Chase said when asked on the eve of the second Test here about the flak the West Indies had to face after their capitulation in the first Test at Rajkot.

Yesterday, Chase, 26, showed what he meant. His unbeaten 98 at stumps on Day One helped the West Indies bounce back from 113-5 to end the day at 295-7 as honours were shared.
