Tiwary, Ojha fine show take India A 304/6 vs Aus A

Captain Manoj Tiwary (83) and Naman Ojha (82 batting) hit aggressive half centuries to rescue India A from initial wobble and take them to a comfortable 304 for six on the opening day of the first four-day match against Australia A here on Sunday. India A lost their three top batsmen midway into the opening session for just 43 runs but Tiwary and Ojha rescued them with fine innings. One-down Jiwanjot Singh also played a part with a 56 after India elected to bat. Tiwary shared a 134-run stand for the fourth wicket with Jiwanjot.
