What a turnaround!

In the second innings, India A compiled a mammoth 609-6 declared, thanks to 188 from Shaw, 137 from Samarth, 93 from Nair, and 68 from Agarwal.

Pacer Sherman Lewis took 4-130.

Set an unlikely target of 360, West Indies A limped to 245-7 at the close, hanging on for the draw, thanks mainly to Jermaine Blackwood's 61, and 40s from John Campbell, Sunil Ambris and Rahkeem Cornwall.

Batter called Alastair Cook scored 150* for the Lions. Might be worth a look.

Can't make my mind up if this is a massive waste of time for Cook or not.

Given that the alternative would be sitting on his arse until August as Essex haven't had a CC game since 25th June and don't have another one until 19th August, I'd say any chance for first class match practice ahead of the India series is worth doing, especially if it establishes some batting form. And the India A line-up has a decent first class bowling record, if not necessarily in English conditions.

Huge win for the Lions. But reports that Rashid (having given up on FC cricket) will be called up ahead of the spinners in this game from Somerset. Suggestions that Mo might be back too.
