Commencing the day on 19 for 1, Bengal bowlers were right on target and soon reduced Madhya Pradesh to 166 for 7, before they fought back, getting to a fighting position.
Making the ball talk, Sayan Ghosh took 4 for 87, remaining the highest wicket taker, but that was not enough to give the opposition follow-on, which was most important from Bengal’s perspective. Among the other bowlers all took one wicket each.
At stumps, Ankit Sharma (90) and Naman Ojha (40) are batting for Madhya Pradesh.
