A century from skipper Yuvraj Singh saw Punjab take the upper hand in their Ranji Trophy league match against Haryana at Gurgaon.

Haryana, winning the toss, could not take full advantage of it, being bowled out for 204 in their first innings. Only Jitender Singh came to terms with the wicket and the bowling, making 89 off 244 balls and forming the anchor for Haryana. He finally fell as the last wicket, unable to extend his side's total due to lack of support.

Punjab, in their own batting effort, lost their openers early. Yuvraj Singh and Ankur Kakkar put on 140 runs for the fourth wicket, however, stabilising the innings. Yuvraj, making his runs faster, got to his century first and then fell with the score on 191.

At the close of play on Day Two, Punjab were 258/7, with Kakkar still at the crease on 81. For Haryana, Sumit Narwal took 5-69.
