Bengal rode on Abhimanyu Easwaran’s fine unbeaten double hundred to hold a firm grip over its Ranji Trophy Group-B match against Bihar at the Eden Gardens here on Saturday.
Resuming from 111 for two, Bengal declared its first innings at 411 for five after securing a huge 316-run lead. Bihar was 39 for one at stumps on the second day.
Abhimanyu (200 n.o., 291b, 23x4) carried on from where he had left off on the first day. Starting from 48, the seasoned opener gathered runs all around the park and scored his 23rd century.
