Dindgul: Off-spinner Malolan Rangarajan scored a quickfire 93 to help Tamil Nadu reach a first innings total of 254 against giant-killers Jammu and Kashmir in a second round Ranji Trophy cricket tournament here yesterday.

On a track offering substancial turn, left-arm spinner Waseem Raza grabbed 5/68 as Rangarajan's 75-ball innings studded with 14 boundaries and three sixes gave his team's total some semblance of respectability.
