First triple-century this season in the Elite Groups courtesy Manoj Tiwary (303*) vs Hyderabad:

It's a shame the BCCI has decided Manoj Tiwary is never to be selected ever again, but he is a fluent Bengali speaker, so somewhat expected. (Hoping Ganguly can change that ...)

Brief scores:

Bengal 635/7d (M. Tiwary 303*, Goswami 95)

Hyderabad 83/5 (Akash Deep 3/46, Mukesh Kumar 2/29)

(so probably not *as* flat a track as the Bengal innings would suggest)

Edit: Hope the weather cooperates. Bengal desperately need the 7 points, after missing out on 3-4 points against Gujarat and Andhra each (weather) and 1 against Kerala (should have closed out the 10-wicket bonus point, wtf were the openers thinking?).

Massive win for Bengal
Manoj Tiwary made 303*. The measure of how his innings was the difference between Bengal and Hyderabad? Bengal have beaten Hyderabad by an innings and 303 runs.

Hyderabad bowled out for 161 in 46.2 overs in their second innings, with Akash Deep taking 4/38. Almost a mirror image of Hyderabad's first innings, which was 171 all out in 46.3 overs.

Overall, Hyderabad lasted just 92.5 overs across both innings. Tiwary alone batted for 69 overs (414 balls) in his unbeaten innings.

Edit: With all due respect to Saurabh Somani, this is actually a measure of how thoroughly competent the rest of the Bengal side was too,  not just Manoj Tiwary. You take out his triple century - the only one so far this year in the Elite group - and Hyderabad still barely manages to make Bengal bat twice!
