It was a comparatively even affair between Central and North as the latter registered 89 for the loss of three wickets in 36 overs, replying to the former’s 170 all out in 48.5 overs. Asked to bat first, Central lost wickets at regular intervals and were eventually bundled out for a below-par total in the face of some disciplined bowling by Taskin. In what was a sorry batting display by Central, Raqibul Hasan top-scored with 70 off 127 balls. North now trail by 81 runs after Junaid Siddique (47) fell short of his 41st first-class half-century. 8TH BCL, ROUND 2, DAY 1NORTH ZONE 89/3 in 36 overs (Junaid 47, Shuvagata 1/1) trail CENTRAL ZONE 170 in 48.5 overs (Raqibul 70, Taskin 5/54) by 81 runs
