MP pile up mammoth total as Bengal in trouble at 108/3

Young left-hander Sudeep Chatterjee showed loads of composure as he hit his seventh half-century in first-class cricket but Bengal are in trouble at 108 for three at stumps after Madhya Pradesh piled up a mammoth 514 for six in a Ranji Trophy cricket match here today.
Sudeep scored 58 off 109 balls with nine boundaries and added 52 for the opening stand with Abhishek Das (24) even though Abhimanyu Easwaran (0) and Manoj Tiwary (8) were dismissed cheaply.
After twin centuries by opener Aditya Srivastava, who struck a career-best 151, it was veteran skipper Devendra Bundela, in his 20th first-class season, scored a quickfire unbeaten 81 off 71 balls with six fours and three sixes, to prop up the score.

He added 97 in less than 18 overs with another domestic veteran Mohnish Mishra (56, 62 balls) who hit six fours and two sixes. For Bengal, offie Saurashis Lahiri got 3 for 105 but it was more about MP batsmen trying to hit them out of park.
