Medium pacer Kunal Yadav triggered a remarkable collapse on the morning of second day while India international Shivam Mavi came back among wickets as hosts Uttar Pradesh took firm control of their sixth-round Ranji Trophy game against Odisha in Meerut on Wednesday.
In reply, a fine century from Priyam Garg and unbeaten 73 by Kolkata Knight Riders batter Rinku Singh helped UP to a 31-run lead at stumps on Day 2 with six more wickets in hand to go for a big first innings total when play resumes on Day 3. Chasing Odisha’s total of 226, Uttar Pradesh reached 257/4 when the stumps were drawn on the second day.
