Renjith Menon stars for Kerala

Kerala's bowlers, spearheaded by Renjith Menon, brought their side strongly back into their Ranji Trophy league match against Goa at Panaji on Tuesday.

Comfortably placed at 22/0 overnight, Goa collapsed to 197 all out on Day Two. Barring Tanveer Jabbar, who made 51 off 112 balls, none of the other batsmen could make a significant score. The last seven wickets fell for 37 runs as Menon did an admirable job in cleaning up the tail and returning figures of 5-48.

Goa did manage to get in two blows before the close of play, with Narayan Kambli dismissing both openers with the score on 5. At stumps, VB Kamaruddin and C Prashanth Menon were unbeaten on 0 and 1 respectively.
