Double-centuries from Shiv Sunder Das and captain Sanjay Raul helped Orissa pile on a massive 575 for four at the end of the second day of their all-important East Zone Ranji match against Bengal at Baripada on Sunday.

Earlier, Orissa after winning the toss, lost opener BBCC Mohanty for no score. No. 3 Rashmi Ranjan Parida made 28 before he too was out. It was at this juncture, with the team score on 58-2, that Das and Raul began their grand stand. Das, who made 253 before he was run out, also had the pleasure of registering the highest Ranji score of the current season. Raul too must have been pleased at the end of a day which saw him register 210 runs against his name. The two men put on a massive 456 runs together before Raul was out. PM Mullick on 22* and P Jayachandra 30* were holding fort when stumps were drawn.
