Andhra bowlers performed splendidly to skittle out Haryana for a cheap score of 103 in reply to their own modest first innings total of 253 on day two of their four-day Ranji Trophy Group C game at the Wankhede Stadium here today.
Virender Dahiya and S G Rohilla were the only two batsmen to get past 20 for Haryana who were laid low by medium pacer Siva Kumar's 5 for 25 haul that helped Andhra take a handy 150-run lead.
Kumar was supported well by medium pacer Imandi Kartik Raman and left-arm spinner Bhargav Bhatt who shared four wickets equally.
By close the southern outfit had increased the lead to 245 by making 95 for 3 in their second essay.
Captain Hanuma Vihari was three short of his second fifty of the game when stumps were drawn and giving him company was experienced campaigner D B Ravi Teja (0).
Earlier in the day, after resuming at the overnight 217 for 6, Andhra were bowled out for 253 with leg-spinner Yuzvindra Chahal picking up a five-wicket haul, only the second of his 24-game first class career.
Brief scores: Andhra 253 (D B Prashanth Kumar 74, G Hanuma Vihari 62, D B Ravi Teja 38, A G Pradeep 44; S M Pahal 3 for 31, Y Chahal 5 for 81) and 95 for 3 (G H Vihari 47 not out, S K Ramesh 33; Mohit Sharma 2 for 10). Haryana 103 (Siva Kumar 5 for 25).
