Rajiv, Sunil steady Bihar

Bihar inched their way to a steady 225/6 after winning the toss on Day 1 of their Super League match against Hyderabad at the Lal Bahadur Shastri stadium in Hyderabad today.

After a none too happy start when they lost three wickets for 30, Rajiv Kumar (85; 204 balls) and captain Sunil Kumar (80; 156 balls) frustrated Hyderabad with a 153 run 4th wicket stand. The hosts rebounded by taking three wickets for 42 to regain the initiative. Wicketkeeper Youraj Singh had a good day in the field snapping up three catches and also throwing out Rajiv Kumar.
