Attavar hits unbeaten 101

CHENNAI, JULY 4. Left-hander Badri Attavar's unbeaten 101 (252b, 8x4) enabled Mambalam Mosquitos gain the first innings lead over SPIC on the third and final day of the first round matches in the SPIC-TNCA first division league at various venues on Sunday.

Replying to SPIC's 337, Mosquitos, resuming at 61 for two, finished at 352 for six at stumps. Attavar and wicketkeeper Reuben Paul (73, 113b, 9x4) added 122 runs in 38.3 overs for the sixth wicket.

Vijay CC managed to hold defending champion Jolly Rovers, sharing six points in the process. Resuming at 18 for three and chasing Rovers' 466 for the lead, Vijay survived the day, finishing at 173 for eight.

The notable stand for Vijay was between S. Sharath (76, 236b, 10x4) and J.R. Madanagopal (35, 148b, 3x4) who put on 77 runs for the fourth wicket.

IOB staged a valiant battle for first innings honours against SICAL. Resuming at 173 for three, IOB came within striking distance of SICAL's 347, thanks to a 78-run eighth wicket stand between Shahabuddin (42, 77b, 3x4) and Petson Mathew (44, 64b, 5x4).

However, with Shahabudin falling to medium-pacer V. Yomahesh, IOB's resistance broke and it was eventually dismissed for 327.
