Karn Sharma returned with a five-wicket haul before Ashish Yadav cracked an unbeaten fifty as Railways dismissed Andra Pradesh for 114 and then reached 194-8 in their second innings on the second day of their Group B Ranji Trophy match here today.
On a day when as many as 14 wickets fell, Railways extended their lead by 262 runs with 2 wickets remaining.
At the draw of stumps, Ashish (55) was at the crease and giving him company was No. 10 batsman Sagar Mishra (11) at the Karnail Singh Stadium here.
Resuming their first innings at 62/4, Andhra folded for just 114 in reply to Railways's first innings total of 182, thanks to some superb bowling from Sharma (5/30), who was nicely supported by Anureet Singh (3/25) and Ashish (1/31).
Railways too found the going tough in their second innings as they lost wickets at regular intervals with Ashish emerging as the highest-scorer, while opener SP Wakaskar (38) and AN Ghosh (23) also contributed.
It was Andra's B Sudhakar (4/49), who made life difficult for the Railway batsmen as he claimed four wickets -- V Cheluvaraj (18), Ghosh, M Rawat (6) and AA Nandi (5).
C Sneha Kishore (2/54), D Siva Kumar (1/18) and DB Prasanth (1/22) also contributed to their team cause.
