Akash, Gambhir and Kanitkar run riot

COLOMBO MAY 12. Openers Akash Chopra (145) and Gautam Gambhir (105) added 252 for the first wicket as India `A' declared its first innings at 474 for nine on the second day of its three-day match against BCCSL Academy XI here today. At close, the Academy XI was 108 for two.

After Akash and Gambhir had flayed the Academy attack, skipper Hrishikesh Kanitkar joined the run feast blasting 97 with 18 fours and two sixes. He was unlucky to miss the coveted three-figure mark, falling to Rupasinghe.
