Kerala bowlers gave a solid response after Haryana pacer Anshul Kamboj made history with 10-wicket haul in a Ranji Trophy match at Lahli on Friday.
The hosts were 139/7, trailing Kerala by 152 runs at stumps on the third day. Pacer Nidheesh M D bagged 3/37 while Nishant Sindhu was unbeaten on 29 at close of play.
Earlier, Kamboj's historic 10/49, helped Haryana to restrict Kerala to 291. The right-arm pacer, who resumed the day with eight wickets in the bag, clean-bowled Basil Thampi before getting Shoun Roger to edge one to the keeper. Kamboj became only the third player in Ranji history to register a perfect 10-wicket haul in an innings.
Kerala are unbeaten in the Ranji Trophy this season with two wins and as many draws.
