India ‘A’ batters enjoyed their time on a placid batting track with all the top four batters helping themselves to half-centuries as the first unofficial ‘Test’ against England Lions ended in a draw here on Monday.

After England Lions ended their first essay on a healthy 587, 30 runs more than India ‘A’s first innings score of 557, Yashasvi Jaiswal (64 off 60 balls), skipper Abhimanyu Easwaran (68 off 87 balls), Dhruv Jurel (53 not out) and Nitish Kumar Reddy (52 not out off 47 balls) got some runs and confidence before the second ‘Test’ in Northampton, starting June 6.

The match was called off after India ‘A’ raced to 241 for 2 in 41 overs with 25 overs remaining on the final day.
