A fine century by Talvinder Singh (112) helped Chandigarh post 315 runs against Amritsar on the first day of their two-day match in the Punjab Inter-District U-23 Cricket Championship at Gandhi Grounds in Amritsar today. 

After winning the toss, Chandigarh openers Shivam Bhambri and Arjit Pannu failed to get the desired start. The side lost their first wicket for 11, when Pannu (6) was caught by Salil Arora off Varun Pal. His departure brought Jasnoor Singh to the crease but the partnership only lasted for 24 runs as Bhambri (25 off 32 balls with five boundaries) was caught by Abhishek off Sumit Sharma. Thereafter, Jasnoor and Talvinder Singh steadied the innings and put the side on road to recovery. 

The duo raised 181 runs for the third wicket. While Talvinder completed his century, Jasnoor (38 off 139 balls with three boundaries) was caught by Rohit Kumar off Abhinav Sharma. Talvinder soon followed suit after completing 112 off 159 balls, which included 17 boundaries and a six.
