40-year-old Jaffer tears through record books

Riding on marathon knock from Jaffer, Vidarbha also managed to score their highest total ever in first class cricket ending the second day on 598 for loss of three wickets.

If Jaffer on the third day crosses three-hundred mark, he will also become the sixth batsman in the history of first-class cricket, spanning nearly 200 years, to have managed to make a triple century after the age 40 years.
