Half centuries by skipper Karun Nair and Hanuma Vihari enabled India A to finish on a comfortable 214 for 3 chasing a tricky target of 321 against West Indies A in the second four day 'Test', here yesterday. Nair (55) was out off the last ball of the day even as Vihari (65 batting, 123 balls) looked solid at the other end.
They now need 107 runs on the final day with seven wickets in hand. The Nair-Vihari pair added 136 runs for the third wicket to lay the foundation of what could be a praiseworthy victory after being bowled out for 192 in the first innings. In both matches so far, the Indian batsmen have done well in the second essay when they didn't have to face red Dukes during the morning session.
