Cuttack: A 139-run sixth wicket partnership between Pankaj Dharmani (81) and Harminder Singh (87) enabled Punjab to take the vital first innings lead against Orissa on the third day of its Elite 'B' group Ranji Trophy match at the Barabati Stadium on Tuesday.

Replying to Orissa's first innings total of 301, the visitors who were a shaky 141 for four at close on Monday, were bowled out for 381 towards the end of the day's play. Orissa, in its second innings, was four for no wicket at stumps. With only a day's play left and the match apparently headed for a draw, Orissa has once again lost out on a point as Punjab claimed the one point at stake for having taken the first innings lead. Orissa also had failed to get any point in its previous match against Assam.
