Hope then comes down the track and swings the leg-spinner over midwicket for a six as he tries to adopt a positive approach in the middle overs.
Spin from both ends as Kuldeep Yadav comes into the attack from the other end, replacing Khaleel, who took one for 25 in four overs in his first spell.
Hetmyer slaps the first ball down to long-off for one and Hope sweeps the next ball fine for two runs before taking one.
The Indian spinners bowling a wide line to Hetmyer, who drives it to sweeper cover for a single.
Hope goes for the sweep but fails to make connection and Kuldeep is briefly interested as he appeals but withdraws as it pitched well outside leg stump.
Hetmyer looking to take charge after playing a few deliveries. He comes down the track and lofts Chahal over long-off for a six before he smashes the next powerfully back past the bowler for a four through long-on.
Hetmyer taking the Indian spinners to task yet again. Kuldeep drops short as the left-hander cuts it past point for a four to race to 23 from 15 balls.
Another short wide delivery as Hetmyer tries the same shot but this time just for a single before Hope picks a leg bye.
Hetmyer sweeps Chahal over square leg for a six to take West Indies past the 100-run mark, in the 19th over.
Chahal again guilty of bowling it on the leg stump line to Hetmyer instead of sticking on the off-stump line. A single off the next ball helps the duo raise the 50-run stand for the fourth wicket from just 34 balls.
