Hosts Hyderabad look good for seven points including a bonus after enforcing a follow-on on Tripura in a Ranji Trophy group C encounter on Wednesday.

Hyderabad had scored 548 in their first innings riding on Hanuma Vihari (219)’s double hundred.

Tripura still need 187 runs to make Hyderabad bat again and their efforts will largely depend on the performance of their outstation pros Arindam Das and Parvinder singh.

Former Bengal opener Arindam scored 73 in Tripura’s first innings score of 237 with only other contributor being Manishankar Murasingh (51).

Seamers Chama Milind (3/50) and M Ravi Kiran (3/45) shared bulk of the spoils.
