Host Bengal were 77 for three at close, in reply to Orissa`s first innings total of 165 on the opening day of their four-day East Zone C K Nayudu Trophy under-22 cricket match at Berhampore (WB) today.
Electing to bat, Orissa crumbled before the pace attack of Ashraf-ud-din (5/28) and Nilakantha Das (3/56). A gutsy knock of 49 by Subhrajit Sahoo and a quick-fire 34 by Partha Samal gave some respectability to the Orissa innings, which earlier tottered at 33 for five.
Brief scores: Orissa 165 all out in 48.3 overs (Subhrajit Sahoo 49, Partha Samal 34: Ashraf-ud-din 5/28, Nilakantha Das 3/56) vs Bengal 77 for 3 in 39 overs (Alok Pradhan 2/19).
