http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750 A – 2nd unofficial Test – Permaul five-for help Windies attain slender lead
West Indies A took a slender 15-run first innings lead after their skipper, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Veerasammy-Permaul-c94981, claimed an impressive five-wicket haul to bowl out India A for 202 on day 2 of the 2nd official Test match, played at Arnos Vale Ground, Kingstown, St Vincent, on June 10, 2012.
The tourists had gained the upper hand on the second morning, wrapping up the hosts' first innings on 217 after they had resumed from 212 for 8. http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Shami-Ahmed-c2496. The pacer then pinned last man Devendra Bishoo to end with a four-wicket haul.
However, the Indians failed to make that advantage count and eventually succumbed on 202. Windies’ new ball pairing of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Abhinav-Mukund-c41758 lbw for 8.
With the opener back in the pavilion, it again left skipper, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/CA-Pujara-c1209, to get his team out of a tricky situation. Pujara did not disappoint and racked up his third consecutive half-century of the tour.
His partnership with http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Ajinkya-Rahane-c970, which yielded 74, had rescued the side but all changed after Permaul dismissed Rahane (18) on the team score of 86. The Windies’ skipper inspired bowling performance than put his side in control.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Manoj-Tiwary-c1890 (23) looked settled to add a big score but followed shortly, becoming Johnson’s second victim, leaving his team precariously placed at 123 for 6.
The late-order however, rallied on – http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Rahul-Sharma-c83352 (30) and Shami Ahmed ( 20) – to help their side add valuable runs but Windies fought back strongly to gain a slender advantage.
Bishoo saw off Saha, while Permaul took wickets either side of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Jonathan-Lyndon-Carter-c69137’s dismissal of Shami Ahmed to complete an impressive five-wicket haul.
Brathwaite and http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Justin-Christopher-Guillen-c69694 managed to weather out the final four overs of the day as the Windies ended the day on 6 for no loss.
