<p>KP Appanna of KSCA XI spun visitors Goa into a web on the third day of their Safi Darashah Trophy tournament match at the M Chinnaswamy stadium here on Thursday. <br /><br /></p>.<p>Goa, overnight 153/4, succumbed to the spin of Appanna to be bowled out for 304 in 86.3 overs – the left-arm spinner accounting for five of the remaining six wickets to fall in the Goa first innings on the day. <br /><br />Hosts’ skipper CM Gautam enforced the follow-on and it was again Appanna, who did the bulk of damage with figures of 3/43 in 17 overs, putting KSCA XI on the verge of their first outright victory in the tournament. They drew their first match against Jharkhand. <br /><br />Goa, when stumps were drawn for the day, were precariously placed at 147/6 with Ravikant Shukla, the only one offering some resistance, batting on 75 (121b, 9x4). Goa are still adrift of 76 runs with just four wickets in hand.<br /><br />Things did not begin well for Goa in the second innings as captain Swapnil Asnodkar departed without opening his account when he was caught and bowled by Abhimanyu Mithun. <br /><br />Keenan Vaz, who struck an aggressive 66 (111b, 11x4) in the first innings, was promoted to one-drop but Sharath HS induced a nick that was held by the ’keeper Gautam. Shukla, who was coming off the back of a fine knock in the first innings, joined hands with Balekar and immediately set about his job in a commanding manner. <br /><br />A glance to fine-leg was followed by a flick through mid-wicket before a drive straight down the wicket saw the southpaw stamp his class. <br /><br />Balekar was keeping him the good company but Appanna struck as he caught Balekar in front of the stumps. <br /><br />Rohit Asnodkar, Darshan Misal and Amogh Desai all came and left over the course of next 12.3 overs as Appanna reduced Goa from 92/2 to 127/6 before Shukla and Amit Yadav ensured that Goa would at least take the match into the last day. <br />Earlier, Appanna, who had a modest Ranji campaign taking just 18 wickets from eight games, ran through the Goan lower-order that which enabled KSCA XI to ask their rivals to bat again. <br /><br />He trapped the duo of Vaz and Harshad Gadekar in front, castled a well-set Misal for 61 (146b, 6x4, 1x6), gleefully took the return catch that Yadav offered before accounting for Buddhadev Mangaldas to complete a five-wicket haul inside a session.<br /><br />Brief scores: KSCA XI: 527/6 in 120 overs vs Goa CA: 304 all out in 86.3 overs (Ravikant Shukla 77, Keenan Vaz 66, Darshan Misal 61; KP Appanna 5-85, HS Sharath 2-24) and 147/6 in 49 overs (Ravikant Shukla 75 batting; KP Appanna 3-43).<br />Other scores: At Aditya Global: Jharkhand CA: 298 all out in 111.1 overs and 205/6 in 60 overs (Akash Verma 89 batting, Sourabh Tiwary 50; Madhur Khatri 3-66, Vivek Yadav 2-28) vs Rajasthan CA: 374 all out in 102.5 overs (Vineet Saxena 103, Dishanth Yagnik 58; Rahul Shukla 6-88, Sunny Gupta 3-84). <br />At Alur (1): KSCA Colts: 295 all out in 107.3 overs and 280 all out in 70.2 overs (Sanjay Rajan Kumar 57, N Bharath 56, Dinesh Borwankar 50; Rahul Dave 4-28, Jaydev Shah 2-58) vs Saurashtra CA: 368 all out in 92.4 overs (Jayadev Shah 147, Sheldon Jackson 64, Dharmendra Jadeja 42 n.o.; Sanjay Rajan Kumar 2-30, T Pradeep 2-33, Abrar Kazi 2-54) and 14/1 in 7 overs.
