Nivas Hits Century; Pravahan Takes Eight:
Sanjay Shri Nivas (120) struck it big when it mattered most as Namakkal called the shots against Salem on the opening day of the three-day TNCA under-19 inter-district cricket semifinal on Tuesday.
S. Pravahan scalped eight wickets for the host but Nivas’s timely ton and a solid 79 by M. Naveen Kumar saw the visitors compile a healthy 272 in their first innings.

At stumps, Namakkal was 12 for no loss.
