Kerala did well to end the day one run short of 300, needing just another 69 runs to topple Goa's first innings total of 367 all out. But the hosts have just four wickets remaining.
Resuming on 60 for two, Kerala's overnight batsman Verma, having started the day at nine, scored a superb 287-ball 129 studded with 13 boundaries and three sixes.
He also put on valuable partnerships with Sachin Baby (31) and Nikhilesh Surendran (54 not out).
Brief scores:
Goa 1st innings: 367 all out
Kerala 1st innings: 299 for six in 125 overs (Amit Verma 129, Nikhilesh Surendran 54 not out).
