Bengal skipper Manoj Tiwary made a statement on Tuesday after scoring an unbeaten double century 201. Bengal piled on another 264 runs to their overnight score of 246/4 to declare the innings at 510/9 against Madhya Pradesh in their Elite Ranji outing. Tiwary scored his fifth first class double century on the eve of his 33rd birthday.
Although Shubham Sharma had a five wicket haul with match figures of 5/59, the Madhya Pradesh bowlers faced a difficult time tackling the Bengal batsman. Tiwary was extremely on two occasions when his catch was dropped. Madhya Pradesh were 15 for no loss at the end of day’s play with two more days to follow.
