JAMMU, Nov 21: Middle-order batsman Bandeep Singh’s unbeaten 68 runs and brief contributions from Majid Dar (35), Adil Reshi (32) and Samiullah Beigh (27) not out, helped Jammu and Kashmir to score 173 runs at stumps on day-1 of the Ranji Trophy Group-C match against Andhra Pradesh at Rural Development Trust Stadium, Anantapur in AP, today.
