KARACHI, Jan 3: The Rest of Balochistan (RoB) and Rest of Sindh (RoS) Quaid-i-Azam Trophy fixture was delicately poised after stumps on the second day at the National Stadium Thursday.

RoB, resuming this morning at 241 for six, were skittled out for 270 in the first session of play. By close, RoS had reached 226 for five and needing another 44 to take the first innings lead.

RoS’s paceman Kashif Pervez added two more scalps to his overnight’s three to finish with five for 39.

RoS’s skipper Hanif-ur-Rehman led the foundation of a strong reply when he stroked a fine 77 off 81 balls with the aid of 14 boundaries.
