Siraj and Mukesh Leave New Zealand A Reeling at 25 for 3 in Reply to India A's 346

Mohammed Siraj and Mukesh Kumar ripped through New Zealand A's top order on the second day of the second unofficial Test at Hagley Oval in Christchurch on Sunday, leaving the hosts at 25 for 3 in reply to India A's 346.

The hosts were three down for just 13 runs at lunch, trailing by 333, after Siraj removed captain Rhys Mariu for 4 and Mukesh struck twice in three balls just before the break, dismissing Curtis Heaphy for 4 and Tim Robinson for 3.

Matthew Boyle and Dean Foxcroft, both unbeaten on 6, took New Zealand A to 25 for 3 early in the second session, still 321 runs behind.

Siraj had figures of one for 11 and Mukesh two for 12 at that stage, after India A had been bowled out for 346 in their first innings, with Dhruv Jurel making 105 and Akash Deep 68.
