<p>At stumps on day two of the three-day tie at the Adhiyaaman College ground in Hosur, North had stumbled to 183 for four in response to South’s intimidating 414, a struggling innings revived by an unbroken fifth-wicket stand between Nikhil Gangtha (51 n.o.) and Gaurav Kochar (30 n.o.).<br /><br />Overnight 321 for seven, South saw Shreyas add just seven to his overnight 86, but were well served by M Darshan’s 75 as they piled on the runs with which to attack North. The consistent Gurkirat Singh was North’s most successful bowler alongside Aakash Vashist, the duo sharing six wickets equally.<br /><br />Unmukt Chand led the North reply with 60, but once Aparajith got into his wicket-taking act, South got on top before they were held up by the undefeated fifth-wicket stand.<br /><br />Brief scores: At Adhiyaaman College Ground, Hosur: ZCA South: 414 all out in 129.3 overs (Shreyas Gopal 93, Shivcharan Singh 79, Sanju Samsom 48, Darshan M 75; Gurkirat Singh 3-79, Aakash Vashist 3-64) vs ZCA North: 183/4 in 68 overs (Unmukt Chand 60, Nikhil Gangtha 51 n.o., Gaurav Kochar 30 n.o.; Aparajith 4-57).<br /><br />At Gangotri Glades, Mysore: ZCA Central: 82/1 in 28.3 overs (Rakshan Faras 50, Almas Shaukat 38) vs ZCA East. <br /><br />At Anantpur Sports Village, Anantpur: President’s XI 427 all out in 144 overs (Bharath Srikar 77, Indrajith 63, Nakulraj Sharma 54, Kuldeep Salve 59, Prateek 34, Soumya Jain 38, Suchith J 28 n.o.; Akash Luthra 4-107, Chithan Gaja 2-40, Mohsin Sayyed 2-73) vs ZCA West: 74/3 in 19 overs (Soumya Jain 2-29).</p>
