Christian's century the redeeming feature

With Madhya Pradesh having already taken the first innings lead against Gujarat by close on the second day's play there was little interest left on the final day of the Cooch Behar Trophy (under-19) pre quarterfinal between the two teams at Pune on Sunday. An unbeaten century by Gujarat skipper AA Christian prevented the day's play from becoming entirely meaningless.

Replying to Gujarat's first innings total of 270, MP were 309 for eight wickets at close on Saturday. They were all out for 360 on Sunday morning. In the remaining time, Gujarat were 279 for seven in their second innings when stumps were finally drawn. Christian's unbeaten 102 was compiled off 143 balls with 12 boundary hits.
