IND A 1st Innings: 557/10 & 241/2

ENG Lions 1st Innings: 587/10

As per the expectations, England Lions scored over India A's first innings 557, but not enough to challenge the visiting side enough for a hard fight. The first unofficial Test between England Lions and India A (ENG Lions vs IND A) ended in a draw. 

In the second innings, all 4 top-order batters of the Indian lineup scored half-centuries, including the skipper of the India A side, Abhimanyu Easwaran, who lost his wicket cheaply in the first innings of the match. The opening pair of the team remains unchanged with Yashasvi Jaiswal and Easwaran. While Jaiswal got 64, the skipper ended his innings with an individual 68.

The team management did not feel to check Karun Nair's ability, as he already delivered a double century in the first innings, so the right-handed batter did not ask to bat again in the second innings. Along with the openers, the management sent Dhruv Jurel and Nitish Kumar Reddy to bat. 

Bowlers yet to prove their dominance over english batters

Jurel, after scoring 94 in the first innings, bagged an unbeaten 53 in the second innings. Reddy also proved his talent with an unbeaten 52 after being caught out only 7 of 7 in the first innings. 

Contrary to the batting department, the Indian bowling part did not manage to impress too much on a green top surface. England Lions successfully overcame the barrier set by India A and posted 587 with the help of three 100s to level the momentum of the match and draw at the end of the highly entertaining contest.

India A’s bowlers conceded 587 vs the young and inexperienced England Lions on a flat track !!
