At stumps, North were 30 for no loss in 14 overs.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, <strong>The Hindu<\/strong> writes that After bowling out West for 164, North didn\u2019t enforce the follow-on. In the second innings, North ended the day on 30 for no loss with an overall lead of 350. The drudgery of an inconsequential final day\u2019s play looms large as with such a huge first-innings lead, North is all but through to the semifinals.<\/p>\n<p>For West, disaster struck very early. With a blow in the second over of the day, it was reduced to six for two. Opener Kaustubh Pawar\u2019s hesitant forward push to Ishant resulted in the ball flirting with the bat and rolling on to the stumps.<\/p>\n<p>North\u2019s pace troika \u2014 Ishant, Parvinder Awana, and Rishi Dhawan \u2014 demonstrated the indubitable virtues of raw pace. All the three bullied the batsmen with speed and healthy bounce.<\/p>\n<p>Rishi shot down Murtuja Vahora\u2019s stumps but it was Ishant who led the raid with viciousness; he prised out a wicket in each of his three spells (twice in the first over of a new spell).<\/p>\n<p>His chief weapon was the delivery that slanted in and skidded off the turf. Ishant\u2019s tussle with West skipper Cheteshwar Pujara, however brief it was, made for good viewing.<\/p>\n<p>West\u2019s sole act of defiance came through the 72-run partnership for the fifth wicket between Parthiv and Bhushan Chauhan.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>North Zone have all but secured the Duleep Trophy semi-final berth after West Zone\u2019s competent-looking batting line-up crumbled against Ishant Sharma\u2019s accuracy and speed in their first innings on the penultimate day at the MA Chidambaram Stadium here on Monday, writes the Deccan Chronicle.
