Goa has good chance at victory

Overcoming their first-innings debacle, Goa surged back into the game in their Ranji Trophy league match against Kerala at Panaji on Wednesday.

Having Kerala overnight at 6/2, Goa did not let up on the pressure. Barring C Prashanth Menon, who made 55 off 148 balls, and Ajay Kudva (44 off 120), none of the Kerala batsmen was allowed to convert a start into a significant score.

Kerala were bowled out for 210, with Narayan Kambli taking 4-49 and Avinash Aware taking 5-67. At stumps on the third day, Goa were 33/0, chasing a fourth-innings total of 213 for victory.
