Uttar Pradesh captain Suresh Raina, who made a comeback into the India ODI squad after more than a year, did not bat today as he was down with flu as his side was forced to follow-on in their Ranji Trophy match against Madhya Pradesh here today.
Resuming the third and penultimate day at 131 for 5 in reply to MP's first innings 465 all out, UP folded at 176 in 63.2 overs and Raina did not come out to bat and his side were told to follow on at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium at Uppal.
It is learnt that Raina has already flown back home to recover from his illness and he will not be there when UP resume tomorrow on the final day to get past the MP total and get one point.
After following-on, UP ended the day on 118 for 2 in 53 overs, with Tanmay Srivastava (60 batting) and Sarfraz Khan (18 batting) at the crease. UP still trail by 171 runs with 8 second innings wicket in hand.
For UP, wicket-keeper Eklavya Dwivedi top-scored in their first innings with 37, while Kuldeep Yadav made 36.
MP's new ball pair of Ishwar Pandey (3 for 65) and Gourav Yadav (4 for 44) did bulk of the UP's damage.
Brief Scores:
Madhya Pradesh: 465
Uttar Pradesh: 176 all out in 63.23 overs (Eklavya Dwivedi 37; Gaurav Yadav 4/44) & 118 for 2 (f/o) in 53 overs (Tanmay Srivastava 60 batting).
