Having declaredtheir first innings at 378/4 for a lead of 264, Orissa made an earlybreakthrough in the Tripura second innings as the hosts finished at 29/1.Overnight batsmen Das and Raul extended their third wicket association to amassive 223 before being separated. Skipper Das was the first to make his exitfrom the proceedings – in the day’s 56th over – but not before belting amediocre attack for 178 (260 balls, 25 fours, 3 sixes). After he fell at 304,Raul continued to punish the bowling until he was run out for 134 (212 balls, 11fours, 2 sixes). Three overs later Das mercifully declared the innings closed,leaving their opponents to play out the remaining 15 overs. Fifteen-year-oldleft arm seamer Tushar Saha took two of the three wickets that fell to thebowlers.Although Debashis Mohanty packed off opener RP Chaudhuri in the fifth over,skipper S Dasgupta and RN Ghosh survived the efforts of five different bowlersto take Tripura safely through to stumps. Tripura goes into the third day onSunday needing a further 235 to avoid the ignominy of an innings defeat.
