A patient 209-ball 44 not out by opener Tushar Singh helped defending champions Al Barkaat MMI (Kurla) post 130-2 on Day Two of the three-day Harris Shield final at the Brabourne Stadium on Tuesday.

Resuming on 271-9, Bosco's overnight batsmen Soham Nalawde (2) and Chris D'Britto added 18 runs to their overnight total before the former was caught at point by Arman Pathan off pacer Mayur Devrukhkar. Chris stayed unbeaten on 28 as the Matunga school ended their first innings on 289 after the first session was delayed by 30 minutes due to dew. Mayur (4-57) was the wrecker-in-chief for Don Bosco, while left-arm spinner Anurag Singh (3-77) and offie Aryan Shejule (2-79) were impressive too.
