Goa post 302 despite Quadri's 6/97

Jharkhand leg-spinner Samar Quadri's brilliant six wickets for 97 runs restricted Goa to 302 in their first innings on the third and penultimate day of their Ranji Trophy Group C cricket match here today.
Goa, however, clawed their way back with four wickets, leaving the home side at a shaky 159 for 4 in their battle for first-innings points going into the fourth day tomorrow. Jharkhand now trail by 143 runs.
Goa lost overnight batsman Swapnil Asnodkar and Snehal Kauthankar early on the third morning before being revived by a 58-run partnership for the fifth wicket between Rituraj Singh and Darshan Misal.

The lower order tried to rally once that partnership was broken but Quadri and left-arm spinner and Jharkhand captain Shahbaz Nadeem ran through the rest of the line-up to bring an end to the Goa innings.
In reply, Jharkhand's Sumit Kumar and Shiv Gautam shared a 64-run partnership for the second wicket after opener Prakash Munda was dismissed for only 2.
Shadab Jakati, however, struck with three quick wickets to push Jharkhand from 60 for 1 to 106 for 4. Gautam and Kumar Deobrat then steadied the innings, playing out the day with a 53-run partnership.

Brief Scores:
Goa: 302 all out in 98.4 overs (Swapnil Asnodkar 71, Dheeraj Jadhav 63; Samar Quadri 6/97)

Jharkhand: 159 for 4 (Sumit Kumar 51, Shadab Jakati 3/49).
