Jharkhand on top against Tripura

Medium pacer Rahul Shukla's six wicket haul helped Jharkhand bowl out Tripura for 166 before a solid middle-order performance helped the visitors reach 296/3 in reply on the second day of their Ranji Trophy Group C cricket match here today.
Overnight 42/1, Tripura's batting fell apart and barring Parvinder Singh, 66 from 107 balls, nobody could make a contribution of worth.
Shukla proved to be the wrecker-in-chief for Jharkhand, snaring six off his 14 overs, which cost a mere 40 runs.
In reply, the visitors overcame a topsy-turvy start to post 296 today. Anand Singh (91), Saurabh Tiwary (94) and Ishank Jaggi (51) made for an impressive middle-order batting display to steer the side comfortably.

Brief Scores:
Tripura 1st Innings: 166 all out
Jharkhand 1st Innings: 296/3 in 97 overs (Anand Singh 91, Saurabh Tiwary 94, Ishank Jaggi 51).
