2nd Unofficial Test: Kotian, Kamboj Shine As England Lions Surrender For Draw
Nitish Kumar Reddy: The second unofficial Test between India A and England A ended in a dramatic draw at Northampton on Monday, with both sides showcasing depth, grit, and flashes of brilliance across four absorbing days.
India A’s bold declaration late on Day 4, coupled with spirited lower-order batting and incisive new-ball bowling, nearly set up a last-minute twist — but the match ended with England A at 32 for 3 in their second innings.
Resuming the final day at 163/4 in their second essay, India A added crucial runs through composed knocks from Karun Nair, Dhruv Jurel, Nitish Kumar Reddy, and Sarfaraz Khan. However, it was the record eighth-wicket partnership between Tanush Kotian and Anshul Kamboj — an unbroken 149-run stand — that shifted momentum firmly in the visitors’ favour.
