KOLKATA: It’s evens-stevens at the end of Day I of Bengal’s Elite Group ‘A’ Ranji Trophy match against Uttar Pradesh at the Eden Gardens here on Tuesday. Bengal pacers struck early after skipper Manoj Tiwary won the toss and put the visitors in, to bowl them out for 198 a little after the tea interval.
But the UP pacers brought them back on a day when 14 wickets tumbled on a seaming pitch reducing Bengal to 29 for four in the 11 overs of play possible in their innings.
