A seven wicket haul by Jitendra Likhar saw Rajasthan concede a narrow
nine run lead to Madhya Pradesh on the second day of their Central
Zone Cooch Behar (Under-19) Trophy match at the KL Saini Stadium in
Jaipur on Monday.
Having bowled out Madhya Pradesh overnight for 215, Rajasthan made a
quiet start with openers Arvind Mann (33) and Vivek Sharma (30) adding
64 runs in 31.3 overs. Then both Mann and Sharma were dismissed by
successive deliveries bowled by Jitendra Likhar. Likhar in the next
over had Dalpat (0) caught by Jatin Saxena. Then Ankur Singh (20) and
Tahir Khan (7) took the score to 98 when Ankur fell for a catch by J
Saxena off Mohanish Mishra.
Likhar who was proving to be unplayable ran through the lower order
and finished with seven for 69 off 31.1 overs. Though D Yagnik (32)
tried to revive the Rajasthan innings he ran out of partners as his
side were all out for 206. MP in their second innings were three
without loss in four overs by stumps.
