MP struggling at 261/7 against TN

Tamil Nadu reduced Madhya Pradesh to 261 for seven in their first innings despite a 160-run partnership on the third and penultimate day of their Group A Ranji Trophy match here.
In reply to Tamil Nadu's 555 for seven declared in their first essay, Madhya Pradesh was struggling at the close of third day's play, needing 145 more to avoid the follow-on.
Resuming the day on 547 for seven, Tamil Nadu batted for just two overs and added eight runs before declaring the innings.
Tamil Nadu bowlers then wreaked havoc to reduce Madhya Pradesh to 82 for four before captain Devendra Bundela (93) and Saurabh Sharma (85) steadied the boat and took the team to 242 for four. The two put on a solid 160-run stand together for the fifth wicket.

However, a late burst from offspinner Washington Sundar (2/20) to remove Bundela and Saurabh left Madhya Pradesh once again reeling at 249 for six.
They were two of the three wickets to fall in the last 15 overs of the day, which fetched only 19 runs.

Madhya Pradesh's misery was compounded further with Ankit Dane's (6) getting run-out off the last ball of the day.
Brief scores:
Tamil Nadu 1st innings: 555 for seven decl.
Madhya Pradesh 1st innings: 261 for seven in 88.1 overs (Devendra Bundela 93, Saurabh Sharma 85; Washington Sundar 2/20).
