Anustup Majumdar continued with his fine form, scoring his 15th First-Class hundred as he steered Bengal out of trouble and on to a solid platform on day one of its Ranji Trophy Group-B match against Assam at the ACA Stadium, Barsapara, here on Friday.
Put in to bat, Bengal rode on Anustup’s century and captain Manoj Tiwary’s half-century to be placed comfortably at 242 for four in its first innings at close of the day’s play.
Medium pacer Mukhtar Hussain justified captain Riyan Parag’s decision to field first as he kept it tight to trap the Bengal openers in front.
