Harshvardhan Pandey scored a patient century to put defending champions Al Barkaat MMI (Kurla) in a commanding position on Day Two of the three-day Mumbai Schools Sports Association-organised Harris Shield (U-16 ) final against IES New English (Bandra) at Bombay Gymkhana yesterday.

The Bandra school ended the day at 36-1 in reply to Al Barkaat's 371-7 declared. Resuming on 253-5, Al Barkaat's overnight batsmen Harshvardhan and Himanshu Singh began cautiously, scoring just 24 runs in 10.4 overs before the latter was cleaned up by left-arm pacer Shivam Kanojiya.
