The trio of Shaw (70 off 61), Iyer (54 off 45) and Kishan (50 off 46) helped India A amass 328 for eight before the bowlers dismissed ECB XI for 203 in 36.5 overs. Pacer Deepak Chahar (3/48) was the pick of the bowlers. This was the visitors’ first game of the tour ahead of the 50-over tri-series, involving England Lions and West Indies, from June 22.
India A will also play two unofficial Tests against West Indies A and one against England Lions in July. In the game played yesterday, India A batsmen spent substantial time in the middle after ECB XI opted to bowl.
Mayank Agarwal (4) departed cheaply but his opening partner Shaw was in good touch, collecting seven fours and three sixes. Iyer and Kishan then shared a 99-run stand before medium pacer Ryan Higgins removed them off successive balls in the 39th over.
