KOLKATA: Bengal paid Himachal Pradesh back in their own coin but with a more telling impact as they took a firm hold on their Elite Group ‘A’ Ranji Trophy match at the Eden Gardens on Wednesday.
The script unfolded much like the way it did on Day I for Bengal. The Bengal bowlers struck hard to reduce Himachal to 84 for six at lunch after their first innings folded up on the second ball of the day at the overnight total of 310 with Anushtup Mjumder being trapped in front by Vaibhav Arora for 159. At the lunch interval on Day I, Bengal were in a much similar position at 88 for five.
