At stumps on the second day, Central were reeling at 146 for five in response to North's 451. Yuvraj was dismissed (caught and bowled) by his former India teammate Murali Kartik for 208.
Undefeated on 133 overnight, Yuvraj took only 243 balls for his 208. He slammed 33 fours and three sixes.
Central are still 306 away from the vital first innings lead. Indeed, they face a huge task.
