Duleep Trophy: South Zone collapse hands advantage to North

NEW DELHI: Vaibhav Arora and Jayant Yadav triggered a collapse to give North Zone a narrow three-run first-innings lead over South Zone on the second day of their Duleep Trophy semifinal here on Thursday. North’s 198 seemed gettable when the home team was cruising at 145 for four. Mayank Agarwal and Tilak Varma had settled in nicely, picking off boundaries regularly.

The big wicket of Mayank (76, 115b, 10x4), taken by offspinner Jayant, gave North a spring in the step. Seamer Vaibhav and Jayant then dismissed three batters - Washington Sundar, Tilak Varma and K.V. Sasikanth - in the space of two overs to leave South at 165 for eight. Agencies
