KOLKATA: Pacers once again provided Bengal the early advantage by bowling out Jharkhand for 173 on Day 1 of their Ranji Trophy quarterfinal clash at the Eden Gardens here on Tuesday.
However, Bengal's inability to wrap up the tail quickly returned to haunt them as they let their rivals off a bit after having them on the mat at 120 for seven at one stage. Kumar Suraj played a lone hand for the visitors as his unbeaten 89 off 175 balls provided the Jharkhand bowlers something to fight for.
