If runs flowed like a torrent on the first day, it almost became a trickle on the second.
Yet, Kerala is in firm control of its Ranji Trophy match against Meghalaya at the Saurashtra Cricket Ground (C). After dismissing Meghalaya for 148, Kerala had raced to 205 for one by stumps on day one, scoring at nearly six runs an over. Batting was very much in the one-day mode.
On Friday though, it became more in the longer-format style, as Kerala took its first innings to 454 for eight — a lead of 306.
