Kerala's bowlers, spearheaded by Renjith Menon, brought their side strongly back into their Ranji Trophy league match against Goa at Panaji on Tuesday.

Comfortably placed at 22/0 overnight, Goa collapsed to 197 all out on Day Two. Barring Tanveer Jabbar, who made 51 off 112 balls, none of the other batsmen could make a significant score. The last seven wickets fell for 37 runs as Menon did an admirable job in cleaning up the tail and returning figures of 5-48.

Goa did manage to get in two blows before the close of play, with Narayan Kambli dismissing both openers with the score on 5. At stumps, VB Kamaruddin and C Prashanth Menon were unbeaten on 0 and 1 respectively.
