Kalugamage keeping things in control. He concedes just two singles from the first five balls of his second over before Hope clubs the last ball straight down the ground for a 84m six, to raise the 50-run stand for the third wicket from 42 balls.
Pacer Grant Stewart back into the attack as West Indies look to attack the spinners.
A reprieve for Chase (17) after he got a thick outside edge off Stewart. Justin Mosca ran back from point and put in the dive but failed to hold on to the catch. He also sustained an injury in the process and had to go off for some treatment.
But Stewart does a good job to concede just six runs in the 12th over.
Ben Manenti makes the breakthrough with the wicket of Chase, who perished after a struggling knock of 24 from 25 balls.
The right-hander smashed the spinner back over his head for a four but perished trying to swing the next ball over midwicket, holing out to the fielder in the deep.
Rovman Powell walks in at No 5. He defends the first two balls he faces from Manenti before taking one off the last ball to get off the mark.
West Indies have managed just 20 runs from the last three overs.
