Wicketkeeper-batter Robin Minz slammed his maiden first-class century as Jharkhand post 433 for eight declared before Odisha reached 23 without loss at stumps on Day 3 of their Ranji Trophy Elite Group C match at KIIT Stadium in Bhubaneswar on Wednesday.Jharkhand resumed the day strongly placed and built on their advantage through overnight batters Aditya Singh and Minz. Aditya, who resumed on 94, completed a well-crafted 104, registering his second century of the season and second first-class hundred after his 147 against Kerala in the opening round.The visitors had been placed at 78 for four earlier in the innings before Aditya and all-rounder Anukul Roy orchestrated a recovery. Roy narrowly missed out on a century, scoring 89 off 140 balls with seven fours and two sixes to put Jharkhand in a commanding position.Minz, unbeaten on 11 overnight, made the most of the platform. The wicketkeeper struck 100 not out off 140 deliveries, peppering the boundary with 11 fours and two sixes. It was the first first-class century of his career after five previous fifties, eclipsing his earlier best of 79.Jharkhand continued to pile on the runs through the lower order as pacer Shubh Sharma produced a brisk 58 from 61 balls, including five fours and three sixes, helping the visitors cross the 400-run mark before captain Virat Singh declared at 433 for eight.For Odisha, Rajesh Mohanty and Lalit Yadav claimed two wickets apiece, while Ninad Rathva, Badal Biswal and Swastik Samal picked up one wicket each.Asked to bat late in the day, Odisha safely negotiated five overs to close on 23 without loss. Opener Swastik Samal was unbeaten on 17, while Gourav Choudhary was batting on six as Jharkhand’s pace duo of Shubh Sharma and Saurabh Shekhar failed to make an early breakthrough.With a first-innings total in excess of 400 and Odisha still trailing by 410 runs, Jharkhand will head into the fourth day firmly in control and eyeing maximum points from the contest.Brief Scores: Jharkhand 433/8 decl in 142.1 overs (Robin Minz 100 n.o., Aditya Singh 104, Shubh Sharma 58; Rajesh Mohanty 2/43, Lalit Yadav 2/86) vs Odisha 23/0 in 5 overs.
