London | May 04, 2006 2:45:47 PM IST
Dinesh Mongia fired an unbeaten 158 to put Leicestershire in a commanding position against Essex in the division two County Championship at Chelmsford.The left-handed Indian was typically pugnacious, driving and pulling with authority during his 246-ball knock, which was studded with 20 fours and a six. Mongia, who came in after the departure of opener D D J Robinson (53) at 97 for two, shared a 170-run parnership for the third wicket with another centurion H D Ackerman (111) to help his side pile up 392 for five from 104 overs yesterday. At the close of a fruitful first day's play, P A Nixon (18) was giving company to Mongia at the crease after the visitors elected to bat on a batsmen-friendly pitch. For Essex, left-arm spinner Tim Phillips was the most successful bowler, claiming two wickets for 57. UNI XC PDS PM1420
