Mukesh's strikes bring India A back into game as Lions slip to 333/5 at lunch
Mukesh bowled with a lot more venom in this session, getting his lengths correct and he was rewarded with three wickets of Holden (101, 101b), Lions' skipper James Rew (8) and Rehan Ahmed (3). Overnight centurion Tom Haines (142, 208 balls) is still out there and Dan Mousley (2) is keeping him company at the break. The Lions are now trailing by 224 runs. Canterbury, Jun 1 (PTI) Pacer Mukesh Kumar struck three quick blows as India A staged a fine comeback despite Max Holden's eighth first-class hundred, as England Lions stumbled to 333 for five at lunch on the penultimate day of the four-day Unofficial Test here on Sunday. Holden hung his bat outside the off-stump to be caught behind by Dhruv Jurel, while Rew was trapped leg-before by a deliverer that was straightened up. Ahmed's cavalier waft outside ended in the hands of Sarfaraz Khan at second slip. England Lions lost three wickets inside 14 runs to give away the advantage handed to them by Haines and Holden during their 181-run partnership for the third wicket. Holden, a former England U19 skipper and a prodigy of former pacer Angus Fraser, was quite impressive while bringing up his hundred off 99 balls. The 26-year-old left-hander reached the landmark after seven first-class innings without even a fifty, flicking pacer Shardul Thakur for a single to fine leg. Haines, a protege of former India coach Gary Kirsten, however, held his ground and ensured that the Lions will not suffer further damage. Brief scores: India A: 557 vs England A: 333/5 in 75 overs (Tom Haines 142 batting, Max Holden 101; Mukesh Kumar 3/56). PTI UNG KHS This report is auto-generated from PTI news service.

India A Vs England Lions Live Cricket Score, Day 2: Easwaran's Team All-Out For 557 In 1st Innings
India A vs England Lions, Live Cricket Score: Karun Nair made a crafty double century to propel India A to 533/7 at lunch on the second day of the four-day Unofficial Test against the England Lions, in Canterbury on Saturday. Karun made 204 off 281 deliveries (26×4 1×6) as India A continued their strong march after resuming from the overnight 409/3. Anshul Kamboj (16 batting) and Harsh Dubey (32 batting) are at the crease at the end of the opening session. Karun, who resumed from overnight 186, brought up his 200 off 272 deliveries with a boundary over covers off pacer Eddie Jack. Before that, India had lost two quick wickets of overnight batter Dhruv Jurel (94) and Nitish Kumar Reddy (7). Karun and Jurel added 195 runs for the fourth wicket before the latter's dismissal. Karun too couldn't continue for long after reaching his double century, edging an in-coming ball from pacer Zaman Akhter to stumper James Rew. Shardul Thakur too fell to Akhter after a cameo of 27 as the Lions bowlers took four wickets in the first session of the day to have some consolation. India A: 533/7 in 119 overs (Karun Nair 204, Sarfaraz Khan 92, Dhruv Jurel 94; Josh Hull 2/68, Zaman Akhter 2/73, Eddie Jack 2/75).

India A vs England Lions Live Cricket Score, Day 1: Karun Nair, Sarfaraz Khan Keep Momentum Going
India A vs England Lions, Live Cricket Score: Karun Nair and Sarfaraz Khan resisted the England Lions bowlers to take India A to 86 for two at lunch on the first day of the four-day Unofficial Test here on Friday. Karun (26 not out) and Sarfaraz (17 not out) looked extremely comfortable in the middle after the Lions pacers nicked off openers Abhimanyu Easwaran and Yashasvi Jaiswal early. Skipper Easwaran (8) was the first to depart, falling leg before to left-arm pacer Josh Hull. However, Jaiswal (24, 55b) will be hugely disappointed by his dismissal. The left-hander was quite at ease against the English bowlers for a large part of his over an hour-long stay, but chose to play an expansive drive off pacer Eddie Jack, only to be caught behind by skipper James Rew. However, Karun, who played some delightful drives through the cover, and Sarfaraz negated the Lions bowlers effectively during their unbroken 35-run alliance for the third wicket. Playing XI: India A: Abhimanyu Easwaran(c), Yashasvi Jaiswal, Karun Nair, Sarfaraz Khan, Dhruv Jurel(w), Nitish Kumar Reddy, Shardul Thakur, Harsh Dubey, Anshul Kamboj, Harshit Rana, Mukesh Kumar
