North take vital lead

North Zone almost assured themselves a berth in the semi-finals of the Duleep Trophy cricket tournament as they took a vital first innings lead of 165 runs over South Zone on the penultimate day of the four-day match at the M B B stadium in Agartala today.

A sparkling unbeaten 149 by Sridharan Sarath and a gritty 84 by J R Madangopal helped save South from the ignominy of a follow-on.

At stumps, North were 77 for one in their second knock after South were all out in their first innings for 424 earlier in the day.
