Siva Prasad scalps five

VISAKHAPATNAM: Hyderabad off-spinner Siva Prasad picked up five wickets and with good support from left-arm spinner Lalit Mohan restricted Tamil Nadu to 175 in its first innings in the round-robin match of the South Zone under-17 cricket tournament here on Wednesday.

Andhra found the going tough against Karnataka medium pacer Aditya B. Sagar, who claimed five wickets, and off-spinner K.P. Appanna. G.V.S. Prasad (42, 4x8) saved the day for the host and his 47-run stand for the ninth wicket with P.C. Murtuza (18 not out) helped the team score 132. Karnataka was comfortably placed at 117 for three at close.
