Suresh Raina on Thursday sent a timely reminder to the selectors for his Test recall with a brilliant century to help Rest of India post a huge first innings total of 526 but the hosts replied strongly reaching 155-2 on day two of the Irani Cup match in Mumbai.

Left-handed Raina, ignored for the entire four-Test rubber against England by the selectors in November-December last year, notched up 134 -- his 11th first class century -- in eight minutes under five hours.
