AdvertisingEarlier, opting to bat after skipper Ankit Bawne won the toss, the India ‘A’ batsmen found the going tough on a wicket aiding the bowlers. England Lions struck at regular intervals as only three host batsmen — Siddesh Lad (36), Axar Patel (23), Deepak Chahar (21) reached double figures. In reply, England Lions lost opener Will Jacks (6) in the second over as Deepak Chahar had him caught by Lad. The visiting captain Sam Billings, who has had a good run in the series, fell for 8 to Deepak Chahar. He hit 10 fours and a six in his knock and enabled the Lions secure a consolation win in the company of the No.11 Tom Bailey (1 not out).
