Yuvraj ton powers RoW to 293/7

By The Assam Tribune

LONDON, July 5 (PTI): India�s Yuvraj Singh made a strokeful 132 to power the Rest of the World XI to 293 for seven against the Sachin Tendulkar-led Marelybone Cricket Club (MCC) in the Lord�s bi-centenary celebrations 50-over match here today.

Electing to bat in overcast conditions, the Shane Warne-led side slumped to 68 for 5 in the 12th over when Pakistan off-spinner Saeed Ajmal (4/45) bagged four wickets but soon Yuvraj and Paul Collingwood stitched together a 131-run sixth-wicket partnership to put the innings back on track.

The opening combo of Virender Sehwag and Adam Gilchrist had given RoW a brisk 54-run start in 6.5 overs but Brett Lee (2/55) cleaned up the Indian dasher for 22 and then Ajmal took over.
