'Very rarely do I get chance to play red-ball cricket' — Arshdeep Singh

Arshdeep Singh and spinner Abid Mushtaq starred as North Zone took a 64-run first-innings lead over West Zone in their Duleep Trophy quarter-final. North Zone were bowled out for 251 after half-centuries from Ayush Badoni and Anshul Kamboj.

West Zone reached 31 for two at stumps on day one, still needing substantial runs to avoid the follow-on. Arshdeep’s experience with the new ball restricted early scoring.

The match continues on day two with North Zone aiming to extend their advantage through the middle order.
