India A declared their first innings at 464 for five after 146 overs on day two against New Zealand A. The declaration gave them a 428-run lead. They had resumed at 227 for two.
Captain Dhruv Jurel scored 71, while Tilak Varma remained not out on 81 and Washington Sundar finished unbeaten on 50. Prasidh Krishna took two wickets during the day.
Three days remain in the match, and the pitch has offered little assistance to the bowlers so far.
CricHubb Take
India A's declaration with three days left suggests they rate their bowling attack higher than the surface, shifting pressure onto New Zealand A to bat long.
