Fast bowler V. Vyshak (5/76) pulled South Zone back into the contest against North Zone on the penultimate day of their Duleep Trophy semifinal here on Friday.
Vyshak’s second First Class five-for helped South dismiss North for 211 in the second innings. Set a target of 214, South ended the day on 21 for no loss.
For the third straight day, showers and bad light forced interruptions. The M. Chinnaswamy Stadium pitch afforded movement and a hint of low bounce to make things tricky for batters. Vyshak, who struggled to keep the right length in the first essay, got it right the second time around.
