Resuming the second day from overnight of 173/3, Bengal batsmen were clinical from the start.

But Bengal bowlers were once again disciplined with their line and length troubling every Mizoram batsmen.
Mizoram openers C Vanlal T Hruaia (19) and Johan (49 not out) began the proceedings positively crossing the 50-run mark without losing a wicket.
But as the duo looked set in the middle, Sagen Murmu came in to dismiss Vanlal to open the gates for the home side.
