Seamers Mukesh Kumar and Suraj Jaiswal took four wickets apiece to provide Bengal an upper hand against Bihar on the opening day of their final Ranji Trophy Group-B match at the Eden Gardens here on Friday.
Determined to give skipper Manoj Tiwary a deserving farewell, the host rode on Mukesh and Jaiswal’s dominating performances to bundle out Bihar, which was asked to bat, for a paltry 95.
Led by opener Abhimanyu Easwaran’s unbeaten 48 (69b, 6x4), Bengal was at 111 for two, with a 16-run lead, at stumps.
