Cheteshwar Pujara looked solid while Suryakumar Yadav played his natural attacking game as their contrasting half-centuries put West Zone in complete control after left-arm medium-pacer Arzan Nagwaswalla’s five-wicket haul floored Central Zone on the second day of their Duleep Trophy semifinal here today.

At stumps, West reached 149/3 in their second essay, extending their overall lead to 241.

Earlier, Shivam Mavi (6/44) wrapped up West’s first innings for 220 as they added just four runs to their overnight score. But Central’s joy turned out to be short-lived as Nagwaswalla took 5/74 in 14.3 overs to decimate Central for 128 in just 31.3 overs.
