The young brigade of Haryana's bowlers ripped through the opposing batting line-up as Jammu & Kashmir were forced to follow-on during the second day of the North Zone Ranji Trophy match at the Maharaja Aggarsain Stadium, Rohtak.

Replying to Haryana's first innings total of 410, Jammu & Kashmir were bundled out for a paltry total of 113 in 35.1 overs; they still need 282 runs to avoid a humiliating innings defeat.

Resuming their innings today at 286 for 3, Haryana's batsmen carried the total to 410. The overnight unbeaten batsman Ishan Ganda added only three runs to his personal score today, but Shafiq Kahn went on to record his career-best score of 146, hitting 20 fours. Jammu & Kashmir's captain, medium-pacer Vijay Sharma, did considerable damage to Haryana's middle order, taking five wickets.

Thereafter, Haryana's bowlers took complete command of the situation. Skipper Parinder Sharma reposed faith in his new set of bowlers, and each of them obliged him with wickets. Haryana's new find Sumit Narwal struck with his very first ball in Ranji cricket to dismiss Ranjt Bali. Off-spinner Gaurav Vashishta lagged by one, getting a wicket on the second ball of his career. The third debutante for Haryana, S Vidyut, struck with his leg-spin in his third over to get rid of Sameer Khajuria.

The second day's play belonged largely to the bowlers; on a turning track, as many as 18 wickets fell today. Haryana will be looking for an outright win in this match, possibly by an innings.
