    "editor1": "<p><strong>Mysuru, Sep 20 <\/strong>) Priyank Panchal sharpened his case for the role of a back-up opener for India in Tests as he slammed a century while Karun Nair hit his second fifty of the match on the final day of the second unofficial Test between India &#39;A&#39; and South Africa &#39;A&#39; here. The two teams agreed to call off the game after 64 overs of play with the match ending in a draw. India &#39;A&#39; bagged the two-match series 1-0.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Panchal scored 109 and Nair remained unbeaten on 51 as India put up 202\/3 on the board in their second innings, with the declaration coming once Nair had reached his milestone. South Africa then decided not to chase their 220-run target. Panchal was given a chance to open the innings as he batted at No. 3 with Shubman Gill opening in the first innings. He was on 9 with his opening partner Abhimanyu Easwaran on 5 overnight.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>On Day 4, the pair built on the Indians&#39; 17-run first-innings lead with a 94-run partnership before Easwaran was sent back by off-spinner Dane Piedt, for 37 off 93 balls. Piedt then removed Gill in his next over as he was caught by Senuran Muthusamy for a duck.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Panchal then added 92 with Nair, bringing up his 22nd first-class century. His innings was laced with nine fours and four sixes. Left-arm spinner Senuran Muthusamy got rid of Panchal, caught and bowled, but Nair continued his own strong form in recent times with a half-century.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Earlier, India, asked to bat first, rode half-centuries from Gill, Nair as well as Saha&#39;s 60 and Shivam Dube&#39;s 68 and Jalaj Saxena&#39;s unbeaten 48 to put up 417.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>In reply, South Africa &#39;A&#39; skipper Aiden Markram scored 161 alongwith Wiaan Mulder&#39;s unbeaten 131 to rescue their team after being reduced to 142\/5 by Kuldeep Yadav and Shahbaz Nadeem Markram. Kuldeep and Nadeem picked up seven wickets between them.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Brief scores: India &#39;A&#39;: 417 &amp; 202\/3 dec (Priyank Panchal 109, Nair 51*, Dane Piedt 2\/88) drew with South Africa &#39;A&#39;: 400<\/p>\r\n",
