Dindigul: A determined half-century by Bengal batsman Sudip Chatterjee (57 batting) and his 81-run stand with Baba Indrajith (32 batting) led India Green to 116 for two in response to India Red's 337 at the end of the second day of the Duleep Trophy match here on Saturday.

India Green lost opener Priyank Panchal (8) early with Vidharbha medium-pacer Rajneesh Gurbani having him caught by Shahbaz Nadeem for 12.

Prashanth Chopra and Sudip put on 23 runs before the former was bowled by Gurbani for 19. Chatterjee and the compact Indrajith negotiated the India Red attack led by Gurbani and accumulated runs well.

His partner, Indrajith, showed a lot of patience and his 82-ball knock included just three fours.

Earlier, resuming at the overnight score of 230 for six, India Red added a further 107 runs to the total as Mihir Hirwani scored 61 off 111 balls which included six fours and two sixes.

Brief scores: India Red 337 (Ashutosh Singh 80, Mihir Hirwani 61; Ankit Rajpoot 4/57). India Green 116/2 (Sudip Chatterjee 57 batting, Baba Indrajith 32 batting; Rajneesh Gurbani 2 for 43). Match to continue
