Jammu, Dec 1 (PTI) Pacer Saurya Sanandiya returned with a five-wicket haul as Saurashtra dismissed Jammu and Kashmir for a paltry 138 in their first innings and then raised 150 for two on the opening day of their Group C Ranji Trophy match here today.
Sanandiya wrecked havoc on the J & K batsmen, dismissing SP Khajuria (8), Ummar Nissar (0) and Pranav Gupta (8) at the top and skipper Parvez Rasool (21) and lower-order batsman Asif Khan (0).
Saurashtra openers Avi Barot (36) and Sagar Jogiyani (41) then returned to produce a 84-run first wicket partnership to give them a good platform.
Once Barot was dismissed by Zahoor Sofi (1/22) in the 17th over and Jogiyani was removed by Sameer Ali (1/50) in the next over, Arpit Vasavada (31) and Sheldon Jackson (35) helped the team grab the first innings lead.
Vasavada and Jackson were at the crease at the draw of stumps at the Gandhi Memorial Science College Ground here.
